Yes, you are right. It's been a year and a half since I'm on a diet. I'm followed by a nutritionist so I don't do anything stupid and it works, I nearly lost 15kg. My health is better than ever!

Also the jacket pattern highlight the weight lost, too.

Of course, I greatly appreciate when someone notice because it is hard work, so thank you Butte!
Congratulations Speed. I've been doing a diet thing for about 2.5 years myself. It can be tough at times. But I feel much better for it. Keep it up.

Keep it up @SpeedRcrX - looking great.
I'm happy for you. And it's amazing how much better the jackets look, right? I noticed you sold some off so I tried 2+2. For once I got the right answer ;)

Yes the way the jackets look on me now... there is no comparison...

I'm originally from Minnesota, so when I see something with a Minnesota connection I tend to get it. Yesterday I ran across this Minnesota Woolen jacket.

I don't remember ever hearing of the company, but I looked it up and it was a manufacturer in Duluth that started in 1916 and went out of business in 1977. I suspect this dates to the late 60s at the earliest.

They sold there clothes through door to door salesman all across the country. At one point in time they accounted for over 10% of the business at the Duluth Post Office.

Two way brass Talon zipper might make this a good bicycling companion for the next couple of months.

The heat returns here tomorrow. Oh well.

I love this @Michael A, I bought a Schott last spring that's similar but about 1/2 as cool.
