Looks great, BB! Especially the last one. Congrats on the jacket!

the next couple or so nights are supposed to be in the low 40s, which is cold for these parts, so I'll keep you posted of any cool-weather Ivy I get to pull out ....

... it's not going to really truly get into wool weather though, even though I'd like to break out a Shetland sweater ....

last night I got to wear an own-vintage '70s Hang Ten blue-striped cotton sweater over a long-sleeve t-shirt from Paragon circa 1996 over a Hanes Beefy t-shirt with a Caribbean motif, and a nice pair of slightly baggy soft dark gray five-pocket cotton cords made in Italy, bought in California, and a knit wool bobcap made in Scotland from the late great Upland Trading Company of NYC ....

sitting on the dock of the bay for hours, it was pretty much Late '70s California and surf prep, in relaxed cotton

/\  I picked up an NOS '80s Woolrich 60/40 unlined parka in tan with navy interior from O'Connell's, several years ago, they're long gone now, but I've always been pleased with that purchase, the tan is possibly the most classic color for this kind of daytime coat ......

I also have a Baxter State Parks from Bean, virtually identical garment but it's navy blue, in 100% nylon .....

they're both good to have, in the abstract, but I never get a chance to wear them, one of these days I need to go someplace chilly in the fall specifically to get some wear out of that Woolrich ....

I wasn't crazy about the 60/40 parka when I was in college, it seemed a little too innocuously high-school, but I do like them now, too bad I rarely have a good opportunity to wear them

/\  good job LeeLo, I'm enjoying the cold snap too and praying that the near-freeze causes the invasive pythons in the Everglades to shuffle off to the great snakepit in the sky ....

meanwhile yesterday I wandered the town in my old 501s, an old Screen Stars t-shirt, pair of Incontinence pants sneakers, a knit wool ski cap, and a zip-front wool ski sweater from Scotland
