What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

This is a great look! Becoming more and more your signature style.
Cool piece!
Intel, please: where did you pick that up? I don’t see the Thunderbolt in the current line up at LL, yet it looks brandnew. What wizardry is this?

Joe McCoys 'Nelson' with IH ultra heavy flannel shirt - feels like I'm ready for autumn.

I got it with a price tag still attached on a marketplace site here in Norway. The price tag was something equivalent to 350 euros and I got it significabtly cheaper than that. I don't know when the Thunderbolt was last in the LL lineup.
What a great find! Spectacular price too!
I was always maintaining that LL made the “perfect” Cross-Zip (tongue in cheek, of course). My new-ish Schott 613SH gave me cause to reconsider, but this one sure is up there as contender…

Fun story as I stumbled over one in a Norwegian crimeshow from 1981. Seems to have the sidestraps from a Lightning and some custom studwork.

So the ”Thunderbolt” would be a Scandinavian special, right ?!
There are similarities to the “Memphis” which seems to be the only jacket in LLs current lineup with epaulettes. Obviously this has a proper belt, not just the loops of your jacket.
Antiquarian interests aside, it IS a great jacket!

I might put on the belt one of these days. Meanwhile it's a lot softer and a lot more comfortable to wear.

... but you have a nice jacket!
I bought a Golden Bear that looks similar, but has 1990s Jerry Seinfeld balloon, pleated, sleeves. I cannot wear it with those sleeves and will have them taken in. The problem is that armholes on mine are humongous. Major surgery, I hope it can be done, because the jacket is great otherwise.

How about kick a** and chew bubble gum, and you're all out of bubble gum?

I started my day off with the green Johnson woolen mills cruiser walking the dog this morning.
But it started warming up where it'll get into the low 70's today, so off came the wool and I'm down to just the Golden Bear vest while I'm doing some more work on my Halloween decorations before we get a little rain this afternoon.
Ps don't mind the elvis hip thing I've got going on, the photo friendly-ish spot in my backyard is on a bit of an incline.
