Aero Leather owners: Anyone ever seen a Bootlegger with a D Pocket?

Howdy folks,
I've become obsessed with D Pocket jackets and I'm really interested in a J106 Aero but, for the sake of a slightly less edgy appearance I figured that something like a Bootlegger with the addition of a D pocket might be an option. Just wondering if this has been done.
Thoughts?

Hey!

Right now a J106 would be a less edgy option but yeah, it's doable. :) Here's Carlos' Bootlegger with a D-pocket.

Hey Carlos, how does that brown jacket look now? Would you mind posting a photo?


The brown one has been worn a lot and is nicely broken in, nice and soft, great grain.
Can't help you with pictures right now, but will try to get some next week once the black one has gotten more wear.

I'm curious as to how that D would look on the new Moonshiner, with the button up front instead of the main zipper....

I don't think it would work as well with the buttons, unless it was smaller and had a button closure of some type.

The mix of a small zipper pocket and a main button closure would be historically correct for a specifc period, but it would have to be all about visual balance....

Gorgeous jacket but holy cow 25" P2P is HUGE! That's closer to a 46" no?

Yep, that's why i ended up sending it back, it was huge.... Both my size 40 came in at 24" which is already quite large for a size 40.
All my other jackets are usually 42 or even 44.
