Out for a morning walk with the princess, she has on her Howling Dog Alaska jacket and I have on my Eastman Perry B3. Both good jackets for 13 degrees Fahrenheit.

It's funny how all the other jackets ITT look super high quality until you post a few of a Vanson like that. Then all of the sudden they don't look so very high quality anymore...
Something about that Vanson comp weight when it gets some miles on it. It's just great stuff and a relative bargain to boot!

Thanks! I was a little nervous about ordering a jacket I'd never tried on from England -- but I've ordered 2 hats all the way from Australia, so this wasn't too bad. Fortunately I'm a pretty standard medium/size 40, and the jacket was true to size.

Loving breaking in my new black CXL FQHH Aero Plainsman 42".
Thanks to Denny in Galasheils for excellent service and Paula for superb craftsmanship.

Nice fit indeed...........
Thank you. I drove from Edinburgh to Gala with the intention of ordering a custom HB in cordovan and fell in love with the Plainsman and a beautiful brown Bootlegger on the rails. It's a candy shop and I'll be living on soup for a while. No regrets; delighted.

I'm just hoping you get more wear out of it in your swamp than I'm getting out of my Aero in mine this so-called winter. Nice combo, though.

I know; Miami and Noo Awlins both have 2 seasons, January and SUMMER. (Not sure about Miami, though.) As for the combo, I try to wear a hat that contrasts with the color of whatever coat or shirt I wear. Charcoal gray hat w/ tan jacket, silverbelly or tan or light gray hat with dark chocolate jacket.
