Brass zip and natural leather pull tab would've made this a must have for me.

Like you said though, no shade on the product, just personal preference isn't it!

@T4920 the beauty of these collections is when they first arrive at IHUK every member of the crew has a different preference, and the same extends to you guys, it's great

@T4920
for me it’s just no need for a two way zipper. never understood for what this really is good for in normal life

[T4920]

@Daniel-San I like the two way, it allows me loosen up the opening of my work jacket when sitting down and not have it bunch up around my stomach

[Daniel San]

ok that’s a point

[clutchdealer]

I love the 2 way zipper especially if I am out bar hopping, the more drinks the more the bottom zipper comes up I have noticed.

[JunkPants]

Love this one, easily my favourite from F/W 24.

( @T4920 Changing the pull tabs to natural leather would be very simple)

[Giles]

the two-way zipper is brilliant when driving, you don't need to undo the whole zipper to feel comfortable...

[FlavourFade]

@Daniel-San I like two ways because when I sit in the car to ride to work in winter it's easier to close the jacket fast before getting out and still not run hot or feel super restricted. But when I read your post I had exactly the same thought as @T4920 regarding the colour of the zipper.

Having got used to a two way zipper, I now cannot stand normal ones

[cityofdelusion]

@Alex 100% agree on this. It's one of the many fine details that I love.

[Fadez]

Love the look of this jacket. Probably won’t be able to swing it. I just wanted to say I really dig the lining on it. The dark brown looks really sharp. I don’t think that got enough love so here I am giving it some

[Danimal506]

@Daniel-San as a chubby guy, I like a two way zipper so the waist doesn’t get all stretch out over time.

Personally I like the black zipper. It’s more subtle looks wise. Also the polish helps it zip smooth, as opposed to brass can sometime be gummy to zip.

[clutchdealer]

@Danimal506 there is zipper wax it really works well and probably only need it once a season

[Danimal506]

@clutchdealer Oh really? Didn’t know that existed. Do you know the name? (Not to go off topic too much here)

[tody]

@Danimal506 I used both graphite and silicone spray with good results. When using something out of a can, beware of overspray.

[clutchdealer]

@Danimal506 it’s called zipper lubricant wax I bought it on Amazon. I used it on a mister freedom N1 jacket I bought sometime ago and it worked great. I have used it on my IH N1 and works great.

[steelworker]

Oh boy Im in trouble

Ok. you can argue about the two-way zipper (I personally don't like them either @Daniel-San, especially on short jackets), but the jacket is awesome.
