agreed! - the pockets working fine with the contrast leather trim .. a full seal coloured version would be nice too (and more understated)
but, whatever .. not my decision (phew)
For it to be a "C-3 jacket", I think it NEEDS those pockets. Me? I love it, just as it is! I wonder if it gets cold enough in the UK to justify this, lol
We change the pockets, we remake the jacket. As @UnTucked said it would not be a "C-3 Jacket" without those pockets and anyway the front panels would need to be replaced as they existing ones would show stitch scars
