I saw that, very cool...but way too big for me. And my wife might kill me if I buy one more jacket.

My size... but there seems to be a lot of weirdness happening with that listing and, right now, it's actually closed.

And if any Loungers thought that it was, then we've failed at educating around here.

How old is it really, Marc? '50s?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Judging by the labels and the buttons, my guess is 1960s.

Agreed. Not before 1960.

The typography and style of the label are screaming mid-60s at me.

Not to say it's not a nice jacket. Thornproof is possibly my favourite fabric. So heavy and rough. Great stuff . . . I really like the extra-bold checks of the 60s.

IMHO not the most attractive Norfolk style jacket. I might be wrong but although it has bellows pockets it seems to lack front hand-warmer pockets at chest level and the additional layer at the shoulders. I like to see them with bi-swing backs too.
