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.
@Bluegrass your faro coat looks great, i love the men of frontier items, specially the faro stuff. Much respect to your father and wear the watchcap with pride. Sorry to read about your loss. Take care.
Thx for your comment above -
Thanks David - appreciate the kind words. I'm really enjoying the sack coat, still figuring out the best way to wear it. I've found I don't like it over heavy IH shirts - much better with a lighter weight shirt or light sweater or long sleeve henley or T. It is such a cool jacket, perhaps a bit fashion-forward for me, but I don't feel out of sorts wearing it.
Now that I've got the bug, I have another jacket coming (chaparral blouse/brown), and some OG 107 chinos. Also coveting either the rider's dungarees or the lot 64 Okinawa issue jeans (can't decide). Measurements on both look like they'd work well for me. The 301 14oz denim sounds amazing.

@Bluegrass you cannot go wrong with the MF chinos. And obviously you need BOTH of those jeans, the only real decision is which one to get first.
Also, have you checked out the vaquero jeans? You might need those too. -
@Bluegrass nice a chaparral blouse pretty hard to find, cool piece
The riders dungarees are superspecial with the ankle pockets and also hard to find afaik. If you are after a classic 5 pocket jean i'd say go with the lot 64 oki. They are really beautiful with some nice details like 13 star topbutton and camopockets.

If I had to look for inspiration in MF, I know davito is the man!

Truth ^

Nice!

Yeees @Bluegrass show us the full jacket its a beauty, congrats
@Omega Man @summ3rhays @ben2t thx for your kind comments

@Friday thx bro these are the indigo métis pantalon ouvrier from les apaches theme. Sold out but think there are flying some around somewhere, ask the pancho guys maybe Mikko can help you out.
No i dont own any items from Viva la revolucion theme any more. Do you mean the americano trousers in corduroy? I could have a more detailed look at these next time for you. Indeed beautiful trousers in a classic 30's vibe
thanks david. Yes the americano corduroy trousers. I was thinking of wearing it during winter. But now the Jungle cloth pants is also available, I have yet to decide.
@Bluegrass congrats on the jackets you wear them well.

@Friday both complete different pants stylewise. The americano in a nice 30's Gentleman vibe, the n1z indigo in its Naval/Military theme inspired by us navy fabrics 20's-40's. Depending on your style you may go with the n-1z giving you a bit more"flexibility" but that depends on you. And yes the deckpants come in a comfortable fit. I have touched them and they are beautiful, rich of indigo and the pockets shape is great. You cant go wrong with either of them. If you going more "Dressing up" then look at the americano. Remember these are highwaisted pants as they used to be

Off to hit the theme parks @ Disney. Perfect mild day for the watchman & 64. -
Perfect!!!! @Anesthetist

Looks good Anesthetist. Consider applying some wax:

Ahh, so you have the famed waxed Watchman! I think I spent hours admiring that jacket while waiting for mine to arrive. If/when I get the balls to wax mine, I might just hit you up for some advice. It looks so damn good!
