My hat can hide how ridiculously long my hair is, but it can't hide how awful my gig line is here unfortunately

Beautiful Highwayman!
Is it a Premier? It looks like some kind of hybrid.
Congratulations, it looks fantastic on you!

I thought only us Navy guys used the term “gig line”! Glad to hear it again in “common” usage! :)
I had to look it up.

Gig line is a military term that refers to the alignment of the seam of the uniform shirt, belt buckle, and uniform trouser fly-seam. In order to be properly dressed, these three should align to form a straight line down the front of a person's body.

Today was a Pegasus Luftwaffe with added length to the sleeves. It's brown horsehide with a black topcoat. For roughly the last five years it's been my main winter coat. If I had a complaint, it'd be that the body is a little boxy for me. The chest fits well but the bottom, at times, feels a bit too loose (like I'm a bell clapper rattling around in it). Personally, I'd prefer more V shape to it. Since it has been my winter jacket, that's mitigated some by wearing layers and a scarf, though. Second complaint is the left side pull works its way out of the buckle. Only the left. It must be something to do with how I move, sit, etc.
