^^ Great look, Michael!
Thanks Harv. I guess I'll put up today's clothes too.^^ Great look, Michael!
Since we don't have a "Show Us Your Clothes" thread, I guess I'll post these finds here: The other day I found four 1960s sport coats made by Gentree and Enson. I also found a late 60s or 70s ascot. You see me wearing the ascot with a 1970s Woolrich jacket that I got last January. I also got a pre-1915 Brooks Brothers morning coat a few months ago but I never took a picture of it until today.
1960s Gentree brown sport coat. I found a matchbook in its pocket, and a business card in another one. The matchbook is probably 70s and the business card is probably anywhere from the 60s to the 80s.
1960s Gentree dark gray? sport coat.
1960s Gentree olive/gray sport coat. "Folkweave" by H. Freeman & Son.
1960s Enson blue and green gray plaid sport coat. It seems to be a Summer weight jacket. I'm guessing it's probably linen or linen and Dacron.
Pre 1915 Brooks Brothers morning coat.
1970s Woolrich jacket and late 60s-70s ascot.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Why would the images be photoshopped?There is one question, I mean I am curious are these images photoshoped, cigarette and the hand postion, smile all same in every image.

The jacket is rather like the lightweight cousin of the Filson Double Mac I just acquired with the cape shoulders.

Thanks again Harv. I think these last two days have been have worked pretty well, both in the form and the function categories. I am so happy to be able to put on something besides shorts and an island shirt for a change. I imagine in a couple of months I'll be crying for summer, but this is my favorite time of year for clothes.Love this look!

That's okay! I never feel offended. Any possible misunderstandings are forgiven.Your pictures and dressing is always great, I just got curious for nothing, hope it has not given any bad feeling.
My old, worn Johnny Cash T-shirt withy old and worn Land's End flannel, with a pair of light blue jeans.
Thanks, yeah it's definitely an old favorite. Sorry about the lack of pics, I'm no good at taking pictures of cloths, and I was on the train when I wrote that. Here's a pic I took just took:While a picture would help, I can see the comfort of all that in my mind. All clothes worth anything can be described as "old and worn."
I love it! Not quite cold enough for that yet here though.Cold and windy day.

I think it dates to the late 60s or early 70s. I believe the Sears boots are older than that, but have not been able to date.
