Hmmm . . . some dude in Seattle thinks this is a questionable look. I'd better rethink the whole thing.

Sorry about the weird selfies. It's hard to get a good shot without bringing the camera to the eye which would mess with the fit. Anyway, I hope they're helpful.

I'd be glad to post some photos if I could figure out how.

Your first photo is of my jacket. I got it through Thurston Bros. this spring. As to your questions: buttons, pockets, side tabs, Vs on the front - the jacket has a lot going on. I'd second the caution about contrast stitching. Denim versions usually have straw or golden stitching and I...

Jan, I wanted to ask about the modifications you made to your sweater. How did you go about making the loops on the collar? Has having them there stretched or caused the sweater to go out of shape? Thanks, David

Thanks, all, for your thoughts. Unlined brown suede sounds pretty good, actually. Objectively, it's probably the best choice for the style and how I would wear it. My particular first-world dilemma is: I do want something in Aero's seal goat. If it's not the type 3, that probably means...

That sounds interesting. It it like a nubuck or something different?

Or the Satanic ritualist market. Thanks, Holly. I walk by a Levis store on my way to work everyday. I'll pop in and try one on.
