Oh I knew. lol. No worries.

And you know me well. I do have a cane with a hidden blade somewhere. Gift from grampa RIP. Better yet, I own a weighted walking/hiking stick I can go caveman with. That’s in my safe room with go-bag and extra gear.
Outstanding!!
Like a lounge friend told me…

Brown Schott 141 with my new harness boots.

This is the jacket with the zip-out lining. My dad used to tell me if you wear a jacket like that without the lining it'll fit too loose on you. I've worn it without the lining once, but this is heavy stiff leather, bulletproof. I still think I need to go one way or the other.

It's super warm. Warmer than I expected. I think this is definitely a winter jacket, not spring/fall.

That bifold back bothers me a little bit - Shouldn't it be folding back to the way it should be? I know they have an elastic band in there but it doesn't seem to be doing its job.

It's my first pair of harness boots ever. They're a budget brand, but for me I think this a perfect first pair, and they feel like a million bucks.

Looks great! I have a 141 and with the lining it's the warmest. I was in between sizes and bought small, it works as long as there's more than a t-shirt. Missing out on a tee and jacket fit actually, might have to fix that.

I have the same thing going with the swing. Elastic or not, one of them always behaves better than the other.

Hey thanks for the feedback on that bi-swing back. I'm glad it's not just me... uh, I guess (?)
This sold as a chest size, not S/M/L. I bought it to be sure I could squeeze a hoodie under there, but it would need to be pretty darn cold to layer that much!
Trying to figure out how I'll wear a scarf with this. How do we do that? The neck fits so perfectly as it is, can't figure out how to make a scarf work. Try to get it in there in one layer... Tell you what though, it'll look great if I can get it sorted.

@JMax is just protecting us. If he ever slipped up and accidentally revealed himself in a selfie he’d have to eliminate us all.

Hardly. I haven’t worked investigations in 13+ years. Now I do security, strat-type stuff, which sounds cool but really is just lots of paperwork and talking to lots and lots of people. Some cool, some asses, some patriots, some douches. Haha. If I could retire now and ride my bike into the proverbial sunset I would. Good training though. Great song.

Oh right, by small I meant went with a 42, but could have sized up if I wanted to layer more. With any scarf I do have to leave the zip down a bit and it doesn't work if they're bulky. Normal CR stuff!

Thanks Sunset. I have two different colors of a pretty nice Merino scarf, not real thick or anything. That ought to solve any winter wind issues right there. [We should have access to a "thumbs up" emoji option.]
