I absolutely love this! It's my first vintage action back jacket! What do you guys think of the color combination....? :eusa_doh:

and if you think it's funny my dog runs into every shot, that's inbetween throwing the ball and playing with him, bulldogs are supposed to be lazy, this one is supercharged! haha

 

[ShooShooBaby]

you look great! what a find!

 

[PADDY]

Very fine.

I like it very much. Well done!!:eusa_clap

Gorgeous jacket - and I love the color combination.

Can't see nearly enough of the jacket. Take some pics outside. Natural lighting is so much better than indoors for revealing the details.

I don't think the combo with those trousers works very well.

huh! I got them along with the jacket. Regardless of if I continue to wear them together or not, I really like their cut and how they fit me. The jacket has brown buttons so it throws me for a loop as I'm color blind and brown and green has always been something I stay away from in the past. I wear black/gray/blue usually because those are safer for someone who can't see all gradations of the color wheel but I am interested in branching out.

I'm working on trying to get better pictures taken... I think what this calls for is a tripod and a trip to my back walkway...

I like the trousers. And i like the jacket. Just maybe don't co-ordinate too well.

Outdoor pics, man, that's the way to go for showing belt backs etc. How 'bout the pockets? Patch, pleated? "Normal"?

Hiya Mike, to my eye a brown cap would go great with the jacket's brown buttons, and then maybe the brown pants might work better.

Surely I agree with you! I've actually got a real nice brown tweed one on its way here now!

 

[Micawber]

Personally speaking I think a nice Fedora would go well with that jacket.

What would you fine folks think of the idea of me replacing the brown buttons with gray or black buttons? The light brown buttons give me troubles as a colorblind foo' but if I can keep it all in a gray/black corner of the closet I can wear the jacket on a more regular basis! Any opinions on where to find some quality looking buttons?
thanks for any of the help!
And Baron pardon the holdup in getting some outside photos, will certainly do as soon as possible!

Excellent find... your a lucky man.

better lighting..? I'm looking thin aren't I? hehe

 

[mike]

So I ask again, any opinions on me switching out the buttons for something gray or black? Anyone had any luck finding buttons that don't scream modern additions? thanks ahead of time!

Very nice! What size jacket do you wear?
As for button, I recommend scouring the thrift store when it comes to trim...it's just cheaper that way.

[resortes805]

40 regular, huh? Sleep with your eyes open my friend...sleep with your eyes open!

Yes, I might just join resortes in trying to sneak away from with that jacket. We could start a 40R mob.
Very nice, It looks good on you.
