You look sharp. Nice Navy Peacoat.
1948 Kersey Wool Peacoat. Going out to sing at a church in a Christmas program. Hope they got some water handy in case I start to smolder.

Thanks, I bought this from his ebay store, It's little big on me. I don't like the length of the jacket, maybe that's why its called "Suburban Coat"

Too long for your taste? Fit looks good to me!

Thanks! I am talking about front length, wish it's half inch shorter.

Half an inch? That's unlucky, to be off so little from the perfect measurements.. had that before myself.. you wear the jacket and enjoy it but there's always this nagging thought that it could be just that bit better..

Yeah, but I've found a way to remedy this - when faced with that nagging feeling that the jacket could be even better, I ask myself, what's the point of it all if it won't do anything for me? It won't make me look better. It won't improve my life. Nobody is going to notice and nobody cares. . . So what's the use? And what do you know, suddenly, I'm happy with the jacket.
I'll start applying that to my entire life.

If I had a dollar for the number of times I've seen a dude walk past and thought, if only that jacket had 1/2 inch off x measurement he would look cool
...well, I wouldn't be any richer than I am today lol
I certainly have done it myself, and probably will do it again but 1/2 inch is boardering on obsessive territory, not in a good way.
Merry Christmas guys, may all your jackets grow or shrink that magical 1/2 inch.

I think the length is just right. Better slightly long than too short.

Sometimes - actually many times, there just isn't a "fashionable" as in "look at my new jacket" solution that is as functional/practical and comfortable as a well fitting down parka. And I find a certain "beauty" in that.

Nothing more timesless and functional the peacoat. That you have a vintage one is all the better.

I do own gloves. But it has to be awfully miserable outside for me to wear them. In my claustrophobic mind, I might as well be wearing handcuffs. I have a pair with me in this photo, but they’re in my coat pocket. Where they belong.

It was a Christmas miracle. The temps in Sydney dropped pretty dramatically, enough for me to break out the Flat Head Cafe racer for Christmas lunch with the family.
....and yes, that’s a 4 person Sangria in a mini colosseum bowl all for me!
