Here is my green jacket. Up close. Medium distance and from a far. Unfortunately I dropped my PS in the woods...
Paired with cords, cordovan and a green grenadine tie.
Shot on a Canon 5DII with the Zeiss Otus 55/1.4. That lens is pure sex.
Cool outfit. Damn I'd rob that lens from you... Just like I'd take the lens from Jin from B&Tailor. When I met him in HK, he had a Leica M9 on which he mounted a 50mm 0.95, that's the leviathan camera...

Well. I'm partial to Zeiss. But I would not mind having a nice Leica too. If you get the chance to try the Otus 55 or the new 85 don't. It will haunt you in your dreams.

This would be my entry but it is a couple of months old.*

I can imagine "but I, being poor, have only my dreams"
I'm stuck for now with a 50mm 1.4 Canon and I'm only starting to guess that I'll order a full frame camera with a 35mm 1.4 Sigma so we're already a world apart.

Great stuff, Anden and Seamaster.
This thread is really making me regret not picking up green SCs I loved at NMWA in both fall and spring.

@SeamasterLux is now in the lead for me. I actually prefer @EFV 's look overall, but I think that SL has gone for a rather more difficult jacket to work with, one that is really green as opposed to olive / green-brown (which pretty much work in the same contexts as brown works), and really pulled it off.
I'm sorry, @DonCologne but I think you've got way too much going on there! Just IMHO of course.
And finally, welcome back, @Anden . Good to see your standards haven't dropped since you've been away. I'm not sure about the combination of the Black Watch and brown trousers, but that may well be my problem rather than yours!
