Murder mystery dinner, aka a reason to wear my indigo vest & mulholland jacket.

I just acquired a Faro Sack Coat, navy corduroy… hard to take pics.
This is my dad's "real" U.S. Navy watch cap from his service in the early 1950s. RIP Dad, 1933-2014.
Good fit on you Bluegrass, and it's good you have something you can use everyday that reminds you of your father. I'm sorry for your loss.

@summ3rhays did you size the vest the same as the jacket?
-
@Bluegrass The vest is a 42 L and the jacket is a 44 XXL. Most of my MF and IH shirts are XL.

The Okinawa CPO was good, but is getting great. After a good wash, it fits better than ever and is finally getting somewhat soft. Also, you can't see it here, but some light blue flecks are popping up around the elbow combs and pits. One of my favorite shirts this year. -
Christophe strikes again and the in laws actually got me something I like! Feeling lucky today.
This is one of the nuttiest pieces in my collection, but it's really a cool jacket. I am surprised at how thin the material is, it's almost a shirt weight twill. I'm sure it will be great in spring and cooler summer days. The contrast between the pockets and body is a neat feature, especially with the pocket placement. I made some leather toggles for the bottom cinch so they stay tight without a knot. I can't wait to wear it to Florida next week.

I don't think the in laws like you very much

Rofl, no love for banana camo eh? That's cool, it is definitely an interesting look. If I can pull it off half as well as Davito, I'll be thrilled.
-
I just can't see it working with any of your gear. In fact I can't see it working with anyone's. Unless they on a raft or something.
-
I like it. Rain gear is meant to be loud and proud.
-
I like it too and the new flight jackets, one of which is in safety yellow too, but that was still pretty funny from @spitfiredealer
-
@Anesthetist great update on your CPO mine got better after a wash too and the 50/50 denim has lot of potential
Heeeei welcome to the yellow club
rock it, make it dirty, get some funny comments, i love it. MF will always split minds and this is great. If i receive comments about my "raincoat" i always laugh friendly with a big smile.fabric is a deadstock canvas so the watchman is not waterproof and its not a raincoat, some wax it with otterwax @sabergirl @summ3rhays its reminiscent of vintage fishing jackets
Lots of info about inspiration of every item on CL's blog
Btw @Anesthetist congrats on the two shades version
-
@Anesthetist that is indeed a nutty jacket but it looks pretty cool on you. It will certainly look even better with some aging.
I just got a pair of the Californian lot 44 jeans. They are drying now after a hot wash. Curious to see how much they will shrink. Pre soak they looked kinda crazy, like I could maybe wear them to a rave…
-
@Jeef nice lot44 is a classic. True straight fit 50s style, post some pics if you can
@Anesthetist some pics of my watchman about six months ago when i got it
-
@davito you wear that jacket well. Perfect with jeans and sneakers. I'll get some pics of the 44s in the next few days.
I checked out the indigo metisse twill shirt at self edge today and it's really nice. They only had a small and an extra large though. I want to order it online but a little unsure of the size. i wear a medium in iron heart, I have the mf appaloosa shirt in a large. Thinking I would need medium in the metisse twill shirt… Anybody have this? How much did it shrink?
