MIne's the waxed one. I will say that the wax makes that mofo very hot. I've even worn it to movie theaters where it's generally over-air conditioned and sweat in it. Waxed canvas is really limiting IMHO - even more than leather. But it's a perfect weight - comparing to my son's LEVI's and...
For me, I could not stomach a repro of this unless it was done by someone like Good Wear, Aero, LW, etc. And even then, probably not. The originals are too cool and basically impossible to find in my size which is good as I'd probably look like a tool :)
We did the same, @Edward. We had a place (still there) called Jim's Army & Navy. Could get anything for under $10, most for $1-$5. That was our Jr High school uniform - all the stuff we could buy and we'd cut/paint/fringe it all and didn't care.
I try to remember such things when the old man...

I have to say that I have maybe 6/10 that I really love.
If the 18oz Super Heavy ever comes back, get those too. I've been waiting a while...

As to the leather, just because it doesn't say FQHH doesn't make it NOT premium/desirable horse - in fact, not at all.
Enjoy it and wear it. You've done well.
My son went thru his "punk" influenced stage as a huge Joe Strummer/Clash nut as well as Ska, etc.
He had a legit Schott Perfecto that he ended up painting and putting studs into. I was like WTF but it was his and I figured it best to let him get this out of his system - he was in a new charter...
They have "campaigns" - sorta mini kick starters.
Once they fund, they go into production.
Once done, they ship. Only issue is lead time if you NEED 'em now. But they do have an in stock link on top - if you're lucky, you can get something right off in your size.
I've got ~10 pairs or so and...
Here's a less expensive option:

If you're willing to deviate some, there's literally tons of MA-1 options...
These guys make nice jackets and most of the sheep's have pockets. You can often find them elsewhere on sale for much less.Good quality and off the shelf availability.
