What have you always wanted, but yet to get?
Ive still yet to source a madras windbreaker like Oli sported the other week...when theyve been available in my size I never liked the style they were in...😣
What have you been after for ages but yet to get your hands on?

Either a navy London Fog wind cheater (Harrington but not a Harrington) or something along the lines of a navy La Paz Varsity / Derby of San Francisco jacket, never in my size, the other option would be a G4 Baracuta.
and of course, an original pair of Hutton Playboys in a size 8 - unworn.

A cream single breasted mac. I've just bought a beauty but the collar is too wide (very 70s). The makers said they may or may not be able to change it for me - I'm sending it back tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

(The collar has a button hole, otherwise they could just trim it without having to replace it.)

Re: What have you always wanted, but yet to get?
There's so much, I've pretty much given up keeping track. But there is something over at O'Connell's that caught my eye a while back, and that I really would not mind owning. Seems like it could be fairly versatile jacket, also rather masculine, and also getting away from the usual Barbour fare, e.g., Bedale, etc.

A true boom era, late-50s/early 60s J. Press hopsack 3/2 navy blazer. That's the grail for me. Or really any boom era Press sport coats. Pre-65 Press seems hard to come by these days.

I have to say, also, one of those green Baracutas I've seen around these parts lately.

Re: What have you always wanted, but yet to get?
Tony Curtis in Operation Petticoat (as Lieutenant Nick Holden) has a pair of custom made khaki uniform pants with great details -
no belt loops instead cinch side adjusters, high rise, on seam pockets, flat front and tapered .
It even mentions that all his clothes are tailored in the storyline ( he's an Admirals aide who is sent to work a submarine tour of duty).
Them are the strides I pine for.

Re: What have you always wanted, but yet to get?
This is on the list. Probably the navy. Anyone on here have this one?
