@Michael A

I like that hat!

Thanks. It's a US National Parks ranger's uniform hat and band. Made by Stetson in the 50s.

That's the ticket and the price is right, at the moment at least. But I take a 42 or 40.

Thanks,
Michael

Without the beard.....i'm seeing a bit of Humphrey Bogart..............This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Hey Michael, you look like a spy from one of them old cold war movies. Very cool in an ever so slightly sinister sort of way!

Thanks Trenchy.

Thanks. The beard is non-negotiable though, I detest shaving.

Thanks, I was going for disreputable, but sinister will do nicely in a pinch.

J-21 with a vintage pair of Swiss army pants and a vintage Stetson. All mixed up very randomly to a strange outcome.

Custom made steerhide biker jacket, that removable mouton collar and woolen lining make it wearable even in light cold like today.

@rnx
That's a really smart one!

Super, are you wearing the Forb often? It still look near new.

Super, are you wearing the Forb often? It still look near new.

Given the number of jackets I have, my attempt to keep most of them in rotation, and my generally warm local climate, I do not wear any of my jackets "often." Moreover, the Brown Frobisher is the newest addition to the stable (I purchased the black Frobisher first).

Grais "Angel Skin" Cabretta today.

And like A-1, some vintage military pants. US Army pre-Korean war. I'm considering some of those Swiss ones though, as my local surplus store has a few in stock.

Hope the weekend is progressing as per plan.

Has something given you a fright? Everything about you looks tense in this picture, instead of your usual debonair relaxed air.

He's basking in the coolness of that hat/mouton combo.

Hi Michael,
Those Swiss ones are nice. I've dyed them to the dark blue tone. And they were just 10€. As I've found my old suspenders, I'll wear them more I think.

Thanks for the info A-1. The wool on the Swiss ones I saw was very nice high quality stuff. Did they shrink when you dyed them? What dye did you use? I have some wool pants I wouldn't mind dyeing, but they are fairly tight in the waist already and I've been thinking they might not fit when I'm done with them.

They haven't shrunk, but they're made of cotton, not wool.
So I don't know about that.
I have dyed a lot of stuff recently but it was only cotton. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
