They haven’t said they were going to make any others I said if they did I’d collect my commission ata later date !
TBH.  I thought it was a fairly obvious material to produce the Mingus in , more in line with the golfing inspiration for the jacket than cord or tweed, be interesting to see if they do produce some more, in olive would look good I think, BTW looks better without the rear pocket,

The JS jackets look to be in good condition and hardly worn. Someone will get a bargain buying these. The quality of some Maarkt offerings seem suspect to me especially footwear (not that I would buy second hand shoes unless unworn).

Test

'JS 1955' sub brand now launched to cover workwear clothes. Not sure why the need for a separate 'sub brand' and a lot of the stuff appears to be a bit pricey for my tastes but then I can be a bit of a cheapskate.

I didn't pay much attention to the Batik shirts but I noticed today they were selling jewellery. When I was a young teenager I had a metal name bracelet and from time to time I've fancied getting a silver one. I usually get over that urge.

I visited JS with the idea of buying a linen suit. Needless to say they didn't have my size. I nearly walked out without buying anything (that would have been a first) but as I was leaving I was offered a pair of Astroflex  Driftflex for the knockdown price of £79. They fitted perfectly so I bought them. Bit of an iffy colour of grey/blue which I wouldn't have bought unseen but they looked good on. A summer shoe for a Mediterranean holiday.

I was prepared to pay full price for the suit but my timing was all wrong. I tried on a 42 navy jacket but it was just too big. I didn't intend to buy a navy linen suit but it looked good. I wasn't thinking about the ecru version, which I couldn't pull off, but the other colours were relatively conservative.
I got married in a linen suit and so have 'happy' memories wearing them.

I turned my nose up at the Vetra jackets (I don't need any more jackets) last time I was in the shop but with matching trousers the cord suit is something I suddenly need. Any idea on the details for the trousers Stax? I can't find them on the JS site

I struggle with the prominant vertical lines either side of the buttons on the jacket fronts. I know it's a style, but if anyone had put those up here ten years ago, there's no way it would of been accepted. But times and people change.

The vertical lines on the jacket and (IMO) unnecessary detail on the trousers would be deal breakers for me, and I agree AUS not so long ago we'd never even considered them on this ageing site, just a thought... it'd be nice if Vetra produced more Keydge type jackets... and trousers... I'd be in for them.... aaah

Whats in as far as corduroys pants for this fall and winter?
