Blacked out and no bell bottoms today. 21 degrees Fahrenheit but the Troy blanket and black hide makes it easily manageable. Regius knows what he is doing.

Until I can secure my next truck I’m driving this. It’s an ‘09 w 30k on the OD. It’s not really me but it’s a V6 and it’s got a surprising amount of balls. Might see if I can swing by the Northwestern Campus, blare some yacht rock and see if I can’t woo a 23 year old coed into the front seat with promises of getting a great table at Olive Garden. LOL!!
I haven’t driven a car since 1994 and it’s down right terrifying.

Fire *** jacket!

Polo RL cafe racer. Took these for eBay listing but there's no doubt this is the best fitting CR I ever owned.

And great with that jumper!

They certainly didn't change appearance between 1953 and 1970. Own and enjoy my wife's brother's 1970 USN peacoat-he is deceased. However, don't find it warm enough if temps dip below high 30's F.

I have a light weight REI “puffer” that layers under my peacoat. I trend cold and it was good for the 05:30 15f dog walk.

There’s been too much talk lately of peacoats and it had me sorely missing my 10 button, which fit me to the nuts and was MINT. Today I decided to replace it. I went to the only place I thought I had a chance. Chicagoans will know this place. It’s called Lost Eras and it exists on the border of Chicago and Evanston in the notorious Rogers park neighborhood. I lived there for 5 years and that’s when I discovered this gem of a place. Anyway, walked out with a pristine 6 button, Kersey wool peacoat! Fits to the nuts as well. $49.99 it is missing one button but other than that you’d think it was never worn!

Every grown man should own a leather jacket. It’s a statement piece that elevates your style. Every time I wear it, I wear it with pride. What I do avoid wearing are engineer boots and stiff unwashed jeans with J-24. I find that suede boots work better in balancing out the outfit than shinny leather boots, especially engineer boots, which can be distracting to the eye.

I would get lost in there and love every minute of it.

Post WWII by the button config and that particular Naval Clothing depot tag. Maybe 50’s? Korean conflict time frame? Tan corduroy in the pockets.

This is just 1/2 of the basement! It’s a massive, scary and beautiful place. If you want something vintage, it’s there. Somewhere. It is an effort to get through it. I was there for an hour before I found this peacoat. It’s loosely organized but people who shop there move stuff around. I’ll be back over break to look at what I missed. It’s very fun.

Pea coat looks amazing and that vintage shop sounds great! I must say I love the bell bottoms as well, they fit you really good.
