All of you have been very helpful. Really appreciate it.
Thinking that I will be sending the jacket back this coming week. 2 years of hyped up anticipation (from previous to current jacket) and now just sort of deflated. Oh well.
I do somewhat like the idea of getting a custom jacket. Some time back, I had solicited the Himel team to consider that asymmetrical jacket they often produce in deer hide. Although Himel would have been able to modify the jacket somewhat, removing the pocket they place near the upper right chest, they said they'd be unable to produce a jacket with a clean back panel, which was not my preference. Around that time, I had shifted my attention towards FCL's very simplistic asymmetrical style with the minimalistic hardware and lack of belt... a preference I hold fairly strongly.
The Manhattan from Field Leathers looks fairly nice however, D-pockets are just a bit too much for me as it would appear I ride motorcycles when I, in fact, do no such thing.
Thanks again to everyone for their feedback. Was very surprised to see so many people willing to help me out with this. Much appreciated!!!
