@dinobarnesberlin thanks, man
(didn't know the expression "till the cows come home", that's really funny)
Its just an old school American expression;)

Hey, colonial type. It was first seen in print in 1610 in an English play and is presumed to have been in use for quite a while before that. Given that the pilgrims landed in 1620 I’m claiming it for the Brits [emoji1]

Rightly so
I just heard it around 1969 or so..didnt know its been around since 1610–but its one of those classic phrases.--it just fits:)

I'll raise you 1593
Cows are notoriously languid creatures and make their way home at their own unhurried pace. That's certainly the imagery behind 'till the cows come home' or 'until the cows come home', but the precise time and place of the coining of this colloquial phrase isn't known.
It is a long-standing expression and the earliest example if it in print comes from the late 16th century. John Eliot used it in Ortho-epia Gallica, 1593, which was a French teaching textbook in which he attempted to "teacheth to speake truely, speedily and volubly the French-tongue":
I am tied by the foote till the Cow come home.
It's worth mentioning that this and other early citations refer to one cow coming home, why the phrase later migrated into the plural isn't clear.
Until the cows come homeGroucho Marx was never one to pass up an opportunity for a play on words, like this dialogue of the 1933 film Duck Soup:
"I could dance with you till the cows come home. Better still, I'll dance with the cows and you come home."
(Obvs - stolen from the web…).

@Nkwkfld:
@IH-GARY great look, love the 33 with those copper snaps
@Nkwkfld have you tried your type 3 with a short t-shirt or a vest over a tucked-in shirt? Personally I like everything at the belt with these shorter jackets.
You’re onto something there. Thanks for the suggestion I’ll give it a go. I’m used to wearing longer jackets.
Useful comment for me too @Oroccoco
. Still need to figure out how to pair my type III s with shorter tops. Similarly to @Nkwkfld , I’m used to longer jackets after 50+ years of them. -
