That is certainly one fine suit he has on there. Early '30s skinny cut I take it.
I really need one like this with the double bellows breast pockets.
Gary again,

Have a good Monday,
Michael
Thank you, sir. That is currently my favorite suit. And it is likely to remain so until the temperatures start rising again. It's a heavy piece of wool.
Michael
The stitching looks like it was meant to evoke the straps on a Norfolk jacket. Those had something of a comeback in the late '60s to early '70s I believe. Looks like nice leather in it. The cabretta is very supple and comfortable to wear.
I would say the black one of mine has the most hours...
Thanks Steur. I think it would have been good to about 20 F if there wasn't much wind. I'm all in on woolens from about Nov to April. It's a rare day that I wear anything else.
Michael
I think cabretta is from an animal called a hair sheep. They look rather more like a goat than a sheep. It's supposed to be a tough leather and I think it used to be the high end choice for glove making.

I took a few photos of a couple of Grais Angel Skin Cabretta coats today,
