Baxter are ok. Very limited range, but on par with RMW. I was hoping that they would expand their line back when Louis Vutton bought out RMW but they never really capitalised on the opening.
Between the casual Rossi/Blundies and the dressy Craftsman style boots, the Gardener and Lachlan are...
It’s hard to tell where your natural waist is in those pics, but I think the length is ok. Take that with a grain of salt though - I do like my jackets a little longer than most folks.
The short sleeves and tight chest are bigger problems, IMO.
I have a few Blundies and Redbacks for yard work. I have dressier RMWs for Weddings, Parties, Anything (a great Melbourne band, btw). The RMW Gardener is a great casual boot, but my absolute favorite is the Lachlan, seen here when I first got them:
Did you get Pfizer or Moderna? Not that there is that much difference. I think I’ll have the Pfizer next week, but honestly either would be ok.
Second dose side effects are worse, so plan some down time in three weeks. Hope you are feeling better tomorrow!!
I do like a subtle western point yoke, but I’m getting that on the FL I have on order, so right now I’m leaning towards no yoke and a single 2.5” bottom band. Or maybe both? Certainly accents a strong ‘V’ shaped taper in the body!
You guys!!
Im pretty much committed to a JL now. I’m not in any rush since it will be a ‘next Winter’ jacket. Specs I’m thinking so far:
Heavy CXL, brown or maybe cordo, horse or steer.
Oversized brass zippers
Vertical chest zipper on right side (southpaw jacket!)
Two zippered diagonal hand...

Really respect the diversity of those three (even if the colors look similar).
I know even my wife would say my top three all look identical (the difference between a cross zip and a CR being completely lost on her).
This pandemic has me working long days and nights in a dark, depressing, sweaty command center. When I get time off to see my family, I have trouble relaxing and relating to them - I’m still pumped full of adrenaline.
The one thing (well, aside from this place and obsessing about leather...
I think I first got the bug for a stripped down cross zip after seeing the Schott P213. I didn’t like the leather or the cut, but liked the style so from there I went:
Simmons Bilt Pacific
Aero Ridley custom
Field Leather custom
JL. Like new? Name checks FL in the listing!
