Dressing for rain again, this time with the NW Hats outback conversion of an old, dusty, tired Stratton western. Hat band is made from buffalo hide.

Thanks Steve, I have a couple older off the rack jackets from Alexandre of London. pre-2000 (They say "Made in England") They also used to have shops on several of the military bases that I was stationed at in Germany. Their off the rack stuff was really nice up until around 2000 because they were made in London but later started importing the work from egypt and other countries to save money. The newer stuff says "Made in Egypt" or some other country and isn't quite as nice as the older suits done by actual Alexandre of London tailors. However, their bespoke suits are still impressive as they have a whole catalog of fabrics and designs and they are done by London tailors and they personally monogram them for you. Funny fact: I learned this because one of the original tailors runs the Alexandre tailors shop at Fort Hood Army Base in San Antonio, he was the same one who made some of my earlier suits back in 1984 when I was stationed at Hahn AB in Germany. He's been in the States all these years now and still has his great English accent. ;)
Great history of Alexandre of London, Ken. Thanks for sharing. Luckily, mine is a made in England one, too [emoji4]. And on a side note, you can't beat a Brit accent [emoji6]

That Stratton certainly doesn't look tired anymore, Doug. I don't know how it looked before, but it certainly looks great now.
