Some guys like Patterson have requested a zipper on the inside breast pocket. They report it holds the leather,pocket-opening shape better. I don't have it but think it's a good idea to keep your inner pocket stuff safer from falling out---passports, money clip, etc. Additional changes I'd consider if I were ordering anew (based on FUNCTION---mind you):
I'd ask for deeper pleats, slightly longer sidestraps, and rectangular rings. Hell, while you're at it request the underarm gussets that Patterson outlined below. The new lambskin gives a lot and over time forms to your body shape (reportedly), but the extra mobility in the sleeves will minimize the wear on your seams. Hope this helps.
