Scott you look way too relaxed for someone who lives in California. If you guys get any more rain, the Pacific shoreline will be the California/Arizona border. :eek:

Ahem, don't you know Cali IS the land of relaxation? If they'd landed in San Diego instead of Plymouth or Virginia, the country would only stretch as far as the Rockies trust me.

As always, sorry for stupid posture. Tellason Chore Coat today.
(Plus the "new" from 1951 US Army Trousers. I think I've never handled such a well-made product before. My tailor said the threads were a pain because they were so sturdy. So many little details. I know all of you people probably know these kind of trousers, but for me this is like my holy grail I never knew I was looking for. Just doesn't go well with the J-21... [emoji52])

Or maybe it does, especially with those Birkenstocks:

I like it in all of those looks, J-21 included. Great pants for sure and I like what your tailor did with them. You will be enjoying these for many years.

I went with military pants today too. As far as I can figure out they are East German from the 60s. Jacket is a Filson Double Mackinaw.

The Filson Double Mackinaw is a well designed coat from which I would get very little use here in the Texas Sun Belt. I did wear my Filson Mackinaw though this morning. Last year toward the latter part of the season, I sourced a Mackinaw Field Pant in my size 38, set the inseam at 35" to accomodate my long legs, and have not worn the pants a single time this year during perhaps the mildest winter ever recorded in N Texas. :p

my apologies for not mastering the craft of posting pics.... Not sure if this is the right thread for this subject but here goes. I have a modest collection of 4 leather jackets and have one grail jacket I picked up from tmitchell59 (a Johnson leather Hercules in black FQHH) I have held off on the Aero or equal purchase, mostly due to the price, (new or used.) But I have been amazed to find the absolute steals to be had on Ebay of longer leather coats or car coat length. I have picked up 3 beauties in the last two weeks paying no more than $50 for each. All three in like new condition, a cow hide (almost looks like a CXL tanned hide) in a cordovan, a deekskin possibly full hide, and a very substantial nubuck. All pristine, all great leather and at $50 each a steal. Two are US made and the other off shore, all three quality well made product. Is it merely a style thing? Are shorter jackets just more desireable than longer leather coats?

A post such as this demands pics. My good man. Please:
