You look fantastic. As a devoted Anglophile, one of the things I enamor most about the English is there affinity for and their talent for gardening. That is a beautiful garden in the background and you complement it very well.

Crazydaisy didn't get her name by chance nor does she go about her vintage willy nilly! :D

Hey Gene, I hear you about those jacket withdrawal symptoms! Could you tell me what that style of jacket you wear is called? That kind of civilian ike. I've seen it called a ricky jacket, but i've also seen light windbreaker type jackets with slash pockets called that.

I've always just heard "Ricky" jacket, but I always thought that meant the type with the flap pockets...I guess you could call the slash pockets Rickys too.

It is a very American term. I've seen it applied to both equally. Fwiw, all reversible "Ricky" jackets I've ever seen have slash pockets on one side and mid chest patch pockets on the other. No doubt for obvious practical reasons.

Thanks for the clarification Edward. That's quite a neat design feature.

@Dinerman, I remember that jacket and can hardly recognize it! Did you restore the leather? It kind of looks like a B2 now. Nice jacket/newsboy combo.

The wing collar is very Edwardian (if memory serves, Lloyd George, being then an older man, still sported one with a four in hand at the time of the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations), while the odd jacket and trews is a very thirties touch. And the mix definitely works!
