Re #4, the navy blue jacket issued to Harrier pilots (more)
by Bill
and offered by Silvermans (*quite* pricey!) looks to be an interesting design. No knit cuffs or waist.
Re #2, I don't really find most vintage issue flight jackets that practical for non-cockpit wear (the only kind of wearing I do!) because of the pockets. You can't put your hands in them for warmth without looking like a crippled kangaroo. So I stick with vintage civilian patterns with slash side pockets (or ideally both slash side and snap-closing top-opening flap ockets over those, as with Aero's great Longshoreman).
