We certainly all get that it IS silliness . . . as a restorable jacket
but I will admit to having purchased shearling jackets/pants beyond redemption just for the hardware . . and with US jackets & trousers the goatskin pockets and arm reinforcements I think are very cool to have . .(though sadly I have not used mine . . .and may never . .but there's always HOPE . . . a pocket is a pocket is a pocket!)
