Hmph I found the loden coat thread very interesting, though most of them seemed more dressy than rugged. Beautiful coats though. It seems the style I want is fairly common overseas:

LOL yup sorry I missed the sale price. They don't have it in my size though. Chasseur I really like that German coat, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
That Orvis coat is perfect but waay out of my price range. My hope was that someone knew of a "dark horse" deal of some kind. I don't own any current Woolrich coats, which was why I wanted to get someone's feedback on it.
...3/4 or hip length, a "car coat" so to speak. It MUST be a dark green. I'm looking at the Filson double mackinaw, though $335 is spendy for me, and also this one:

The first thing that springs to mind is a costume party. Every year on New Years Eve some friends of mine have a "Dress to the Nines" party, and non-contemporary clothing is encouraged. I just wear my best suit with the trimmings (cufflinks, etc.), but man I would like to be able to show up in...
Akubra Fedora in Burnt Oak
Not sure if anyone has posted this color before, as close as I could come:

And on my pointy head.

The hat is very very soft, not a very high brim, a bit too much taper IMO but I really love the color, very much a "burnt" dark brown.
Exactly! It's funny how you can experience a perceptual shift. I put on a baseball cap and I feel like a kid again, and not in a good way.
Well done on converting your friend!

Clooney's movie is set in 1926 and the fashions are fantastic, though the movie ain't so much. Anyone else see it? Sorry if someone mentioned this film once before.
Hmm Thunder I just bought this one on Ebay:

but I must say I like yours much better. What size is it?
Just a follow-up: how did I do?
Sorry if I am being an attention-seeker here, but many of you kind folks responded to my plea for advice and this is just a follow-up to what I finally wound up purchasing...
Boy is this ever true, which is a real shame because kids run rampant all over their parents. Several times I have stepped in to verbally defend a parent who swatted her rambunctious child in front of a pooh-poohing, politically correct bystander.
In eighth grade my teacher made a dozen males...
I am posting this thread because I had trouble finding any info on this hat and didn't know what to expect when I bought it. A couple other FL members had mentioned this hat, part of Akubra's Lifestyle line of packable hat with the new pliofelt, but the images had been erased or I felt that...
Well regarding the ruling style has nothing to do with it, nor does protection from the elements. Don't get me wrong, MN is a place of extreme weather, but at least when I was in high school we had indoor gym and not recess.
MN still is one of the highest ranked states in terms of the...
