oh yah, aeglus' is goat skin and I was talking about how the pockets flare awkwardly on fresh bombers, which was the other dude's complaint. Agree that TOJ should offer the goat skin again and in that style

Goat skin, you can still get. What they stopped doing is any modification to the pattern / style. No pocket swap, no collar change.

If you're talking about my post; I was making an observation, not a complaint. Stiff leather may be a contributing factor, but I don't think it's the cause. With vertical pocket openings that aren't fastened in some way, any horizontal pressure will force them open. With a loose jacket that hangs straight down, or if you're pressing the jacket down with your hands, the pockets will stay closed. If the jacket is tight however, especially with an elastic ribbed waist that's pushing the jacket up, it's the pockets will be forced open. Compare it to side pockets flaring on tight trousers, especially when sitting, same cause.

Though I'm not a huge fan of washed leather, thought this one was kinda nice.

I bought a shearling jacket from this brand on sale recently and the quality seems good.

Thanks guys, there's one other TOJ jacket with these pockets from what I remember but it has the standard collar. Glad I got it before TOJ stopped allowing modifications, and happy with how it fits after breaking it in a bit.

I love this thread.
I'm definitely leaning a Rick leather this Fall. I think it's time to treat myself to a nice gift.
Just gotta get my sizing right.

Leather & details looks like All Saints. The chest pocket flaps are really charming though. Is the label done in Pictionary Sans or what?
