Matt,

I take it the jacket is the J. Peterman's tweed. Love the lid!:eusa_clap What is it? Akubra, or something much finer?

Cheers!

Actually it's my trusty Brooks Brothers tweed

the hat is an old resistol with no band which i shaped a bit to take away that 70's look. I think I'll ad a wide ribbon in brown to give it that dustbowl look.

Over time, sir, I have concluded that a man's purpose is to provide for his family and to protect them. I'm pleased to note that you share at least one of those sentiments.

While on the lam, Deckard established a new identity as quiet, bespectacled Dick Matthews, a radio salesman, in a large city hundreds of miles away.
As Matthews, he became successful enough that his firm presented him with a new Grunow Teledial 12-tube console as his 1936 Christmas bonus.

Then, one day in June, 1937, his doorbell rang...

The story continues....

Yeah, nothing says "You AIN'T getting to any of mine!" like a lead love-letter from the ol' Chicago Typewriter.

"Armholes" Deckard always was an artist with a Thompson.

 

[Fletch]

BUT...could he beat the rap in the hat factory payroll heist of '32?
Or would "Armholes'" next fitting be for prison blues?

Tune in next week as we resume the story of..."Deckard's Desperados."

Mine is bigger than yours!!

Mine is bigger than yours!!
lol lol lol

Yeah, but can yours empty a 100-round drum magazine in eight seconds, taking out the target and a few of his closest buddies all at once, and still fit beneath a trenchcoat for while you're in polite or blue-uniformed company?lol

And the trousers are Brooks Brothers as well?
