The point with the waistband should be adressed by FS...probably for all their jackets. I think that even most of the A-2 from FS look as if the waistbands could be a little fuller.
Maybe that is something Shawn could fix with his manufacturer?
Does somebody know the correct size of B-10 buttons? MASH sells a lot of repro buttons by 100-piece bags, maybe they have the exact size and shade in stock...
AS we are looking at a prototype, the AAF scoundrel is something, Shawn probably only added to give us a complete picture.
I am not sure, if I would want it at all, but if, then there are probably better options available. It looks as if FS has used the brighter version for leather, which is for "water & heat transfer" and features an adhesive material.
The correct version should be "heat transfer" only, with more subdued colors.
Both are available at MASH Japan, so this could possibly be offered as "option only"?
Biggest issue is still the lining...hope that a) Shawn will get the correct alpaca / wool blend (and keep the jacket on a budget price) and b) will offer a fleece-lined version...
