An alternate Aeromarine??

[Sir Jacket]

As I say, we should start a petition to Aero to put our design (realised by Major) into production. They could call it The Lounger.

More elegant than a rolled trouser leg and a secret handshake...

With apologies to Aero, I really think this design improves the Aeromarine. Something about the way the curved insets interact with the scalloped waist. Instant classic, I'd say.

Plus..a little different/unique from the other guys.

Try to tilt the pockets down so they are almost horizontal and curve them slightly.

Hi Simon,

Look back through the thread - there is version with more horizontal pockets

Well, if the Lodge is minded to look kindly on helping out an impoverished, fellow-member.....

It would need a little fine-tuning but it is essentially there. Again, the lovely collar is the lure -- without distractions. A really unusual but aesthetically pleasing jacket that I would be really tempted to strain the credit card for.

I warn you now: there would be some pretty hard rules about trouser cuffing.

OK, here's both the curved pocket versions - one more horizontal than the other. Take your pick

 

[Sloan1874]

The one on the left - pockets are more utilitarian. I think they'd have to be straight, as the curve would 'appear' naturally through use and drape.

Here's some simple inset pockets....

Major, how about a markup of this one with an exposed stitch of the pocket bags?, eg an "internal" d pocket (if that makes sense). With the right thread color and pocket shape, I think it'd look killer

Basically, like this (VERY small detail- but I'm kind of a detail oriented kinda guy ):

Another possibility as seen on originals is a chest pocket, like this.

Here's where the current design input came from:

Basic pocket design - Edward

Curved pockets - Sir Jacket

Button & loop fastening - Edward

Angle of pockets - Hoosierdaddy

Very cool, breton

I would happily stop with the two insert pockets - that's a really good, clean looking jacket. Ladies and gents, introducing the Double M! Or perhaps, The Lounger :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap *Edit: actually, I'm sure this could be messed with endlessly. There's something about the jacket front that lends itself to it.

I'll up some more visualisations later

Or how bout the Aeromajor?

+1 And you could have a cloth version: the Aerominor.
