Recently got this USN Denim Jacket from Real McCoys.  10 oz denim.

It was no-wash, and shrank a lot.  You can see a lot of shrinkage in the chain-stitching across the top of the pocket in the below pic.

Even after the wash the sleeves were very long…  so I decided to do a home-style stitching.

The coat buttons are listed as iron.  They are a flat black, but I’m expecting that they will burnish over time to something more like the Buzz Rickson’s version of this jacket.
