14" rise on those Sedgefields.

Can't say i've ever been a fan of the spectator, just a bit too 'look at me' for my tastes, but sure you can make them work.
Goes without saying a lovely shoe.

Maybe a shot of you wearing it will actually show it off better as currently not sure what I am looking at?
Is it a coat, a jacket or what - looks like it has patch pockets, what's the fabric, looks like cord maybe from the label shot - any chance of a selfie in it outside?
^ for dating it, I think that's the second design of the Kent label from 1968-1974.
The original design in 1966-68 didn't mention VAN Jacket Inc on the label, but had the motto " for the exclusive man " -
in a cursive scirpt/font at the bottom of the label.
^ Damn nice shoulders on that jacket, Oliver!
Yeah I like the birdseye pattern too. I've always wanted a jacket like that. If you come across a pair of mid century Majer Slacks, they're pretty a safe bet too. I bought a deadstock pair in a tropical wool blackwatch pattern from Zach a few years back, size 32 with a 13.5" rise, that got butchered by an old tailor. I've been searching for a replacement since. This seller is my favorite on eBay btw! I've scored more gems from him (all for under $20!) in the past year than anywhere else; 50's Saks whipcords, Stanley Blacker herringbones, etc. He's got thousands of listings and doesn't discern between the good or bad stuff, plus he accepts any offer you throw at him; even when his prices are already discounted at 30% off. I'm gonna experiment next time and see if I can get away with a $10 offer. One could potentially open the next Newton Street Vintage caliber shop (well, almost... not quite) just by purchasing all of his Ivy League stuff wholesale!

Nice Tom , i am off to Esty as a result.
Very fine import, T. Can't wait to see them in action.
Looks like you'd better clear your schedule, put on the kettle, and warm up the old steam iron.
