Don't forget the safari hat! I don't understand how someone can wear 19 oz. tweeds in the modern world. Offices are generally heated to the point that wearing a 19 oz. jacket would cause a quick death.

You'll make them up, wontcha, Chris? NO WAY!!

I suggest a three-sided zip-out front, but leave it to you whether the flap should be attached at the top or the bottom.

19 ounce.....go with a thong. Order from Steed. Maybe a hacking thong. Very Brrrrritish.

Remind me, Chris...which side of the thong goes in front? The flossing side?

Actually, Ed would know the answer...Ed?

British hunting dogs DON'T wear jackets. This is a conceit limited to the upper east side or christmas shops.
