Today....the colds back so a vintage 49’ Peacoat for me.
Be well. Bowen

Lookin' good Bowen.
IMHO, nothing is more universally flattering in appeal and function than a real Peacoat. I say that with a huge rack full of jackets/coats on hand and many more already sold. This jacket does what it was designed to do - keep you warm in bad/cold weather and it does it so simply and quietly (as opposed to my red and black packer coat for example:)). It's been around since the 1800's with not all that many changes and for good reason - it works! It's timeless.

There's a saying "simplicity is the essence of elegance" and I think it applies here.

I'll stop until my next Aero arrives (hopefully this week!)... Trying to convey just how smooth this batch of steer is. At first I wasn't too sure I liked it (especially after the hide on the 50's HB). Not used to smooth CXL steer. It's growing on me though and I love that I can get a hoody under it.

Wait, What? You have one more coming? I can barely keep up...

Don't worry about smoothness, in time grain will pop out.
I was disappointed by the CXL sleeves on my grizzly because they were super smooth compared to my CXL bootlegger.
After as few months of wear the grain is popping out like crazy and it is looking much better.

Ton I think you’re approaching the time when you’ll have to buy one kid’s jacket or women’s jacket along with your purchases so you are not kicked out :D

I mean, the little one will keep growing, you can live your addiction through her as she grows! Everything makes sense.

Day 21 of the LW bootcamp. Rained on, snowed on, just keeps getting better.

Ohhh boy is this nice. Like @ton312 said that grain. Youve got the LW tough as nails hide, and construction, but also get that kind of grain? Its not fair.

Well said and i agree completely.
I’ve wanted one for most of my life but couldn’t make myself wear a Navy coat having been indoctrinated to green.
Glad i finally got over that. Lol
