Thanks Mark. I'll keep an eye open for you. Great new homburg your showed us today.

Thanks Perry. I've got a couple of deerstalkers and they might do with the earflaps down. The only pipe I have is a corncob and that just doesn't seem right.
You have another great hat and sweater pairing today.

An old Wembley sees the sunshine today.

Thanks Stefan. My three piece suit and overcoat collection haven't been getting their usual workout this winter. It's been so cold I've been stuck in work wear/hunting/ex-military stuff to stay warm. Hopefully they will get a month or so of wear now.
Another great 'burg. It does look grey...
A quick survey of the yard this morning to see if I want to venture out today. Vintage Kangol newsboy

I was out long enough to decide that if I do get off the place it is ushanka and Moncler weather.

As I mentioned this morning, a fedora, even a long haired one, wasn't going to cut it long term today. Too cold and windy. Fortunately I have this new to me pre felt fur hat to wear for some time in the yard.

Thanks Doctor D. I'm guessing it was certainly somebodies "best".
Thanks D. I'm a great fan of really long coats. Great movement in them. I had passed over this one without seeing it all winter at my favorite vintage store. And then on my second go through of the racks yesterday I saw it...
Probably posted this one before

The beauty of those pants, in the eye of this beholder, is that they are 28 oz wool. Very warm. And that has been a high priority here this winter.
Lovely hat. Great binding color.
Brutally cold again this morning. Charles Knox long hair is warm, but not up to the job in the long term...
Fine sunny morning for a Mallory. The Dallas

I should have said $10 MSRP. I think I spent about 10 times that. I think this might actually be the one hat I spent the most on. I was going to go laid back on the clothes front today, but then I needed some pants I could blouse into my new old 9" boots. Ha ha. I got a couple of...
Took the new boots out for their first spin around town today. I think they will work out.

Hope you have good luck with your bay boots. I've sworn off the bay, so I'm always happy when I run across a pair locally.
Thanks Dale. Your new Pecos look good. I have a pair of those, but unfortunately they are little too tight on my feet.
Thanks all,
Michael
