One of the neck buttons on my Commander is loose. It hasn't fallen off yet, but if it does, would I just sew it back on like a normal button? I'm asking because the collar exterior is lined with leather and the button sewing doesn't go through the leather and I don't want to damage anything.

I'm thinking of getting this jacket because of the bark color and it's different from the bedale that you see everywhere. Plus I own a waxed cotton jacket that looks like a bedale but from Polo RL. The only thing is you can't put in a liner so it's only good to use for spring. I really like this flyer/bomber style in this bark color which is perfect for the look I'm going for this spring which is a Tom Cruise circa Top Gun meets Wes Anderson kind of look with Oliver Peoples sunnies of course

Hi All, Does anyone on here know of a website that is currently selling the Powell Quilted Jacket (L or XL) in Navy? I've searched online for a bit and only seen it offered in Black or Olive but the only websites I've found appear to be spam sites. Thanks.

Hi, just got an Barbour Ashby in size 36 (I'm 5'8" and 160 lbs). Fits perfect in the waist and chest, but a tad tight around the back of the shoulders when wearing only a regular shirt. I will use it casually without lining, so I am very unsure on whether to keep it or now.

Hi, my bad, I meant Small of course. I tried medium also in the store, but it just felt too large.

Here is fit pic (small) :

So my Commander is tight in the armholes. Barbour can add fabric under the armholes to give more room. Would this make the armholes fit better, or would it just give more chest allowance and the armholes would still be tight seeing as how they are high?
