Nice. What makes you think '70s on the jacket? I'd have plumped for a little earlier . . .

The girl I bought it from said her dad bought it new and wore it in college back in the 70s. The tags support her story. But its style is very vintage which is why I bought it.

Depends upon how you define vintage. When I say vintage, i mean middle 60s and earlier. Many people also say today: "1990s isn't vintage?". I feel that a cut-off point is necessary, and i put it in the middle-late 60s. This is arbitrary in a sense. But i feel that a lot of the fashion woes began in the late 60s - low rise, big armholes, yada yada. I regard the 70s fashion, therefore, as essentially identical to modern clothing, barring incidental and ephemeral style flourishes. I believe the same for almost every phenomenon that you can throw at me. Nothing has changed since the 1970s. We have been in essentially the same funky rut for 35 years. Fashion is merely a very visible part of the rut.

Note: i believe - unlike a number of vociferous FLoungers - that the 70s have stuff to offer. I just don't like to include them in the vintage category for the reason stated above.

An argument i won't again participate in.

Note: I also believe that the vintage industry has engineered the current trend for "Isn't 70s vintage?". They love it! All that 70s crud they've had in the warehouses that no-one wanted to buy? They've convinced the media - and the chumps who believe what they're told by the fashion media - to cut them some slack and get the sheep to buy it as "vintage". Vintage shops have become horrid places to visit.

A tad colder today; back to the topcoat.

...although, with the temperature at 28, I saw one young guy outside the mall in shorts, teeshirt, and flip-flops. Mind over matter -- create your own reality by what you wear! :)

Dinerman, I need to get myself a jacket like the one you are always wearing. I'm sure it would get alot of use from me.

Again, that's a splendid hat.
