It's been coat weather here lately,

But it's slightly warmer and this one is slightly shorter, so I'm saying jacket.

Pile lined corduroy that at one point in time was a Kmart blue light special.

Full belt and I think something of a nod toward Norfolk styling.

Made in Japan. Remember when the cheap stuff was made in Japan? Probably too young.

All of those items are Old Town. I have quite a few items now: several complete suits, many individual jackets, waistcoats, hats, trousers, and ties. I have a couple of Fitzrovia jackets - it's a slimmer fit so I tend to go up a size for this one.Beautiful! Thanks! Is this an all Old Town outfit? It's really beautiful!

Don't be so sure about that, I have begun branching out in my jacket interests as well lately. Partly due to the ever changing kaleidoscope of wool jackets and outerwear posted by Michael A. I find myself looking at vintage Filson, Woolrich, and Pendleton woolens. Since I am now accustomed to leather jacket prices, they seem downright cheap by comparison!I've started getting some "practical" jackets of late. Vintage, less expensive jackets made from cloth of various sorts. Nothing that would really be of interest here, just things I can use more often then the heavier leather stuff which I can't wear all the time here.

Good Will is a good place - to give to and to find things. Whats nice about these "lesser" pieces is that when I'm over them, I will just donate them. We currently have regular pickups for the Vietnam Vets charity. I was a bit put off when I went to the local Good Will drop-off and saw workers picking through the stuff as it came in. That made me feel less positive about donating - but I'd wager it happens in most of these places. I look locally for "drives" every year as they seem to be a better funnel to people in need. I reckon that this hobby should be of benefit beyond me filling my closet.There is totally a place for the more practical jackets. Less pressure, more abundant, and in a way more exciting. I hate to mention Goodwill, but my girlfriend and I go there every few weeks. And I'm admiring the women's clothes, as they actually have some interesting and colorful designs from just about every era, with a lot of wools, etc. Tmi.
There's definitely place, the problem is that there's no time. :3There is totally a place for the more practical jackets.
