Nice. Reckon you can pull it off! Their Duffels are interesting but seem like one of those brands that are neither here nor there these days despite the excellent heritage.

Brookscloth blue graph check. My first Brookscloth, though coincidentally I was reading an old HTJ post about them just today. I also recently picked up a nice dark green raincoat, most likely 1960s-vintage, made by London Fog for Littler's in Seattle, with a 100% alpaca lining. A lot of single-breasted raincoats you find on Ebay have those bigger, sharper '70s collars, but this one has a nice small collar.

I've been stocking up on summer stuff lately, much as I empty my wallet on tweeds in September, far too early to wear any of them. Apart from the two Corbin madras jackets I've mentioned elsewhere (one in a darker tartan plaid, one in a very light plaid in pinks and olives), I bought a bit of a grail item for me, a 3/2 sack green blazer, in hopsack, also from Corbin. Not a dark green, but not a kelly green either - somewhere in between, and very nice. Also grabbed some old Jos. A. Bank madras trousers, which brings my total number of madras trousers to two pairs - two pairs too many, if you ask my girlfriend.

Looking forward to wearing all these stuff very soon. Temps still in the 40s and 50s here for the most part - a long way from seersucker and madras weather, Memorial Day notwithstanding. But soon it'll be madras, seersucker, poplin, Nantucket reds, white tennis hats, penny loafers with no socks, short-sleeved OCBDs, GTH trousers, MIUSA Lacoste polos, and all the good stuff...

If there is a moral to this post, it is: look for Corbin. It's not as sought after as the big trad/Ivy names like Southwick, Press, Brooks, etc., so good stuff can be had for very fair prices, and they made summer clothing that wears like iron in my experience.

I had a Corbin tweed jacket. It was the best slouchy jacket I've ever owned. Any slouchier and it would have been a Pendleton Topster. Alas, I got bigger and it didn't. So it got purged.
