Did you customize the belt yourself? I own a Teamster in Badalassi and though a great leather the squeaking is rather annoying.
I don't have any fit photo's of the vicenza Barnstormer (received it two months ago) but I found photo's of the shawl collar from two years ago.

Yeah i told them to give me a silver belt buckle and decided to remove the chest pockets for a cleaner look and so my second barnstormer i might keep it although i might not. However, The fit on you is absolutely gorgeous and the jacket in general looks great!

I'd say the chest pockets are really useful as handwarmers. For my vicenza Barnstormer the only thing I changed was the cuff configuration, I chose for similar to the shawl collar model.

Chest pockets are really great but i think they ruin the look of the jacket and will make an unpleasant wrinkles on the surface especially on a stiff leather such as chromexcel so i'd pass on chest pockets.

I can vouch for Aero's Grizzly. But you gotta add length to these vintage cuts for them to work in modern setting. Size 40 front length is 19", and size 42 front length is 20". Most jackets currently on the market will have front lengths 21" to 23" in this size range.
