Love this! Your jacket fits excellently Radz, as always. Do you buy custom, or are you just the 'right' shape to get the best from standard sizes?
The Burberry and Coach jackets I have are all standard size. I buy Aero jackets that are in my body measurement range either ordered or stock regardless of tag size. :)

Terry, you should post more often! You've got so many gems there I can't keep track and it's always amazing to see them. Anything new on the way, btw?

Fly front cotton jacket. I think it's East German Army.

Michael
It's definitely East German. I have one the officer's insulated winter version which has a removable 'fish-fur' collar. It's the warmest thing I've ever had on, but it's now too small on me. I picked it up for a song in a surplus store in the early 90s.

The cap is a vintage Pilgrim, one of many of Sear Roebuck store brands, that I think is probably from the 50s or 60s.

Thanks for the confirmation Dr D. It's a nice tight twill weave and not much heavier than a shirt. So I wanted to trial it today for some upcoming mushroom hunting in thorny woods. I figure the combination of the tight weave and the hidden buttons on the front closure and pockets might make it a good candidate. I think it will be after a half day of wear. I'll pair it with some Canadian made waxed cotton pants and I should be impervious.

I found this on eBay a couple weeks ago and amazingly I scooped it up for under $200! It is in beautiful shape and the goatskin is as soft and supple as any I've seen before. Hard to believe that this one dates back to the 1950s!

The forecast said it was going to be the last chilly day for awhile. So I thought I'd preview my fall suit before I took it to the dry cleaners and stored it away for the summer.

Turns out it's about the right amount of clothes, for the morning at least. I'm wishing I had put on the wool shirt while I'm out taking my photos here.

Have a good one,
Michael
