Oh, pauleway, I'm not sure you want to do this. I ordered a Bootlegger (which has the same side panels and straps as a HB) with a bi-swing back; the result was unexpected and not what I'd hoped for. The combo produced a definite 'flying squirrel' effect. It's a beautiful jacket, but, would better fit someone who spends 10 hours a day in gym bench-pressing locomotive engines. I got just what I asked for, done supremely well by Aero, but, there's a reason different models have different designs. It's your money, and, none of my business, I know, but, my mistake might save you some grief.
I just tried to put an order in to Thurston/Insurrection for a HB with a Bi-Swing back and Wade told me Aero would not do it. Suggested I pick another style like the LHB that has a Bi-swing, but I knew what I wanted, and how I wanted it to fit and look, so I just decided not to order the jacket. Like you say, for the money you are spending, you should be able to get what you want, with a few small tweeks, or just not spend that kind of money, especially if you have a few nice jackets in your closet already!!
