Thanks. I didn't move the pockets on my first one out of fear, and it doesn't look that great. I'll be able to fix that one after what I've learned/attempted on this one. The only real patch pocket jackets I've been able to find are things that I wouldn't wear in their prime, or their time. A lot of 70's era polyester lounge looking things.

I did get lucky and find one that I started on, but the pockets were put on with some sort of iron-on bonding strip that is proving to be a bear of a time removing without leaving glue or shine marks. Still slowly working on that one.
