That, sir, is a nice outfit. What a great jacket though I don't know whether I would be brave enough to wear a pair of dungarees away from my backyard. What, if I may ask, is with the cuff detail? Looks interesting.

Taking advantage of the sunshine and 50 degree temps to break out my Willis & Geiger A-1.
The boots are custom White’s.

Thanks. It took me awhile to figure out the dungarees thing, as that has always meant denim workwear pants to me. But I see it means bibs in GB. Not sure why would wouldn't wear them as they have a history in work wear that stretches back 100 years or more.

This is a double mackinaw coat, so the construction of the sleeves is double layer, that is one nested in the other. The inner one has a button at the cuff so it can be tightened up against the wind somewhat. The double construction is also carried through in the cape part of the jacket.

I got out on my bicycle for the first time in a couple of months this afternoon and the outfit served me perfectly with the addition of some gloves. And I changed my hat to this old Swedish made fur cap

Hi folks!
Been lurking for a solid year or more, and would like to thank everyone for the amount of knowledge and wisdom that is shared on this forum!
Been wearing my swedish 70s goatskin jacket indoors (still in the midst of winter here in the north of Sweden..) has some neat looking grain and loads of character. Bought it at a splendid vintage leather shop in Stockholm over a year ago. The fit is alright, it was very difficult finding a jacket of that era that fit my 6´7", so we added length to the sleeves using some goatskin of a similar age.

I am also in the process of ordering my first Aero jacket (hence the indoors leather jacket wearing..) will be a modified Dustbowl in Russet Vicenza..other details are as of yet unspecified.

I'm sure I will be spending a entirely reasonable amount of time on this forum.
