^^ the second. But tell me one item of his clothing which is not wholly SF approved In fact I give him bonus points for the sunglasses and the watch (stowa?)Originally Posted by aj_del
Not a single item is wholly SF approved, and even then you're still forgetting that there are some opinions here which matter more than others, and some which don't (and shouldn't) matter at all. The watch isn't a Stowa.
Man are you being sarcastic, or are you really still that clueless after more than a year here?Originally Posted by apropos
The shoes, the vest, the shirt, the coat, the belt, jeans are all sf approved. Watch still looks like a stowa to me though you and gdl disagree. I am on a phone so will rebut later

Well, I assumed cotton. But more specifically the type of weave. Sorry, I should have been more specific.Originally Posted by kungapa
It is treated cotton to make it waterproof. Most (good) trench coats are this material including the original trench coat invented by Thomas Burberry.
The original material was patented as gabardine in 1888 using wool, but most trench coats today are cotton.
