Hanoi in winter is nice....but don't tell me you wore it over there during summer I leave it at my place in Europe, though I think for coming winter one of the FQHH jackets might make the trip to Delhi. Who's the maker of your A2, not many do them in HH I believe?
Griff do you have two defibrillators strapped to your chest or do you have two 90's nokia phones in your gun pockets?
I've learned to live without them.
I'm afraid that the infamous inner pocket shape, and very good illustration as to why Aero nowadays recommend you don't have them. If you've got a chest pocket on the outside, its lining can go some way to hiding an inside pocket shape, but I've learned to live without them.
I honestly don't understand why some people say FQHH is too stiff, that it takes years to break in, that it's really heavy to wear, etc. With all due respect, I wore my brown LHB right out of the box the night I got it, and, yeah, it was a little stiff but no more so than a Harris tweed. The great fun of one of these things, for me, was breaking it in over the first few weeks and watching the grain emerge as the jacket softened up. I've had it for about a year and a half now, and I swear it just gets more beautiful. If I'd wanted something soft and squishy, I'd have gone for velvet. As far as the weight goes, I've never thought about it while I was wearing it.
