I personally don't have a non-issue jacket. I don't wear mine enough to need one. Between HI, FL, and FL, I just don't need it that often, and when I do (like on the Whiting flight line in the windy winter), the winter-weight green jacket does the job better. I also don't have one that's as cheap as apparently the newer ones are.
All that said, I can tell you, as a former VT IP and a current fleet aviator, no one cares. People might notice that it's a slightly different color (slightly) or that the collar is better looking, but that will usually result in a "hey, that's nice..." Sure, there's always going to be "that guy," but he'll find something else to question if it's not your leather jacket.
Food for thought. The Belleville boots (brown or black, take your pic) are NOTICEABLY different from the issue flight boots. But they meet the spec and are better made. Guess what? No one cares or says anything. And yes, I wear my Bellevilles always and forever.
