Daughters baptism today. Due to the Catholicism being on my wife's side of the family and us not being churchgoers, I figured the level of dress would be a bit higher for mass and was very disappointed last week when we had the presentation to find that anything goes, including Tracky dacks. I guess they are just happy if you turn up these days...... Could be that we are in a town of only 25,000 too. I felt very overdressed in flannels. Will likely wear a SC, OCBD, denim and chukkas to fit in.

I went to one last year. Yeah most people turned up in runners , T shirts and jeans. Father of the child had a heavily faded black suit on. I was over dressed even in khaki pants and navy blazer.

I really like this loden jacket from Aspesi.



Not seen: elbow patches.

I like the pockets - somehow they seem rather Tyrolean to me. The entire garment just looks really soft and comfy, while still retaining some style.

Works out to around A$500 shipped to Australia, from the Aspesi website.

Do Aspesi have any retailers in Australia? Romp, do you guys happen to ship this sort of stuff?

Man, I haven't been to church in years. A lot of blazers and tweed from memory. Demographic would be changing though.

^ Last time I went to mass it was under duress and it had some dip wit playing guitar in the feelgood manner of Hillsong. As a child I enjoyed the theatrics of the Latin mass, now with Romes iniquities constantly being aired i doubt I could honestly set foot in side a church.

I have a real m65 and it's really toasty. The lining on the sleeves catches on everything, though.

And yes, the button liner doesn't see any action at all haha.

where did you find yours? sydney or online?

I'm guessing it's what he was issued in the army.

Yeah me too - last I went for something it was all stripped back, protestant feeling, plus tres embarrassment, happy times Hillsong simplistic songs without melody, tune or meaning. And instead of Dominus Vobiscum and et *** spiritu tuo, its turning around and hugging and kissing strangers or something and telling them you, or jesus, love them. eeeow ugh.

Sadly the right wingers and nutters have snaffled the latin mass so now its a symbol of defiance and repression.

So even if you can find a sung latin mass its full of priestly peadophiles on parole or not yet caught, Hansonites, DLP voters, League of Rights members and Opus Dei acolytes. Its a sad old world isn't it.

PS - Owen and James is now the first stockist for 3Sixteen denim - should be the cheapest option for anyone locally wanting to but 3sixteen denim.

We started with the SL-100 and the CS-100 cuts (i.e. modern slim and a classic full leg based on a 1947 501)

Dang, wish I knew! I copped some APCs a few weeks back, in search of the 'slim, not skinny' look. Oh well...

Sounds like my kind of crowd

Tyrolean pockets...touch of the J Peterman there. Like it.

Fewer and fewer of these in particular as the years pass. Thankfully.

Ernesto, LoR , or CEC, or LaRouch dopes control a lot of rural councils and DLP has a fed senator in Ballarat, mainly due to preferences not votes

Order from MJ Bale arrived last week. Tobias Jacket and chino. **** me the chino's were skinny. Just thought I'd post in case someone else was thinking of getting a pair and didn't want to look like a 16 year old.

The tobias jacket was a lot more casual than expected as others have noted so it's all going back for a pair of the harley trousers which I tried on today (and an additional $200 for the jacket).

Yeah, fair point. The Larouchite scum seem to have filled the void left by any decrepitude in the LoR ranks.There's also a DLP d#ckhed in the Vic upper house.
