I don't mind changes to the original where they are improvements and as such I see the adjusted pattern and the one-piece back. You wouldn't want messed up stitching, as the original surely had, either, would you?
I wonder how this one would look with a natural off white fur collar...
I'd love it if you could get a different lining...the alpaca and wool would bake us boys here. I'm generally not that fond of alpaca linings. I've had two or three of them and it's warm, but not my fave for sure...I'd definitely want a light weight lining to max the amount of time I could wear it....
A mouton collar would be a good choice if you're prone to chafing your neck on a rough wool collar otherwise.

I'd like to get the G-1 style lining myself. Since I normally am wearing a flannel shirt, etc. it grabs far less...and would be somewhat cooler...Looks like AdeeC has just pulled the trigger on one & is getting it with a cotton as opposed to Alpaca lining. I love the look of these & cotton would be far more practical here too generally.
I must not give in to temptation.......

I could buy one if I sell you my G-1... hmmm.
Bumbing an old thread for a Waterfront related question:
How thick is the wool on this jacket?
I have ordered one with cotton drill lining but I am having second thoughts about the lining. I am thinking of going back to regular quilted lining.
