I could very easily see one of your Varenne jackets in my future!

And that one is now gone too...
Moving right along here. Giving a big shout out to Bankshot for this Premier Fit "Size 46" in Cordovan FQHH. This is a very nicely appointed jacket with the folowing features:
Cordovan FQHH - heavy but not over the top
Alpaca Wool lining in Black
Button cuffs...
Finally, after about 10 days, we are above 0F (-18C) and looks like we might stay in the 5-20F range for the next few days. Only 2-3" of snow last evening. Most important - the SUN is back out!!
Big shout out to Bankshot for this one - details will go into the Highwayman thread.
