Good points about the zips and the buckles on the sleeves.

The Jacket I have has internal pockets that are cleverly worked to use the shape of the external pockets and their inner lining. Very hard to describe. In any case they have openings you can just get a hand in and then become wider inside. I assume to help stop anything accidently falling out if you are upside down. rofl

I think a short videoed catwalk show is required from you wearing the garment waiting camera

Are you not concerned this will damage the Leather interior of the car, i have stopped getting in the max with Jeans that have press studs fitted, doesn't half scratch the leather.


That belt looks vicious

Now when I buy a new pair of jeans I cut the rivets off with a
pair of wire cutters

I ordered a traditional RAF Irvin Sheepskin Jacket from Aviation Leathercraft but I told them to use the Lightweight fur. So I'm very happy with it. It's not that heavy, but looks similar to the original RAF Irvin Flying Jacket. It fits well (my arms are normal length). By the way: My wife ordered a Hepburn Ladies jacket from Cirrus, because she likes this more fashion shape and the special firefly leather finish, which is very soft...

Most of the traditional Irvin style jackets have the buckle at the front so not likely to damage the seats etc......as long as you do up the belt. A loose belt on my jacket is a potential paint chipper! I usually drive my car in jeans and have never had problems with studs scuffing the leather.
