received the indigo dupre jacket

surprisingly thicker and more heavy weight then i was expecting. for some reason i was expecting something more on the lines of apolis globals indigo blazer. this one in small actually fit me quite well in terms of length and shoulders. slightly long in sleeves but boxier then i like in the chest. will have to get it altered but pleasantly surprised by the deets and the weight. wish this was released in the fall to get more wear (although this winter doesnt seem to be ending anytime soon)

Wore mine for the first time yesterday, no opportunity for a photo yet, its quite dark and needs a lot of light for a photo to translate the weave and subtle colors. Wore it with a lavender dress shirt and some Ralph Lauren Rugby Tartans with greens, blues and lavenders. Wondered about staining on shirt, some touches on the collar edges only…however my hands, blue…had to wash up more than once from buttoning and unbuttoning throughout a day of meetings.

And yes its heavier than you might expect for unstructured, but is perfect for this miserable winter. Was on the east coast with it yesterday and it served as my outside coat as well perfectly, the best part is that you flip up the collar and button it all the way up and it looks super cool vs. some that look a little awkward that way. I prefer the heft of this to the Hamilton which is quite light and hard to get a consistent lapel fold.

Will post photos when i can manage

agreed ... i need to post up pics but just dropped it off to get the chest taken in. havent tried buttoning up all the way but sounds useful

These boots are in the bottom of my closet a lot. Super solid, but the break-in is so much work. Many people gave up on these due to the tightness of the vamp. Mine aren't in rotation enough.

yeah they are ridiculously tough. clearly well made but tough and hard as nails. now that ive rediscovered them, i will be wearing more often at least until it gets warm

I believe these are the Julian Aberdeen's (a name made relevant by the removable Kiltie beneath the laces). Personally, I would remove the Kiltie, but that's just me. Very nice boots.

Varicks I believe and damn that was a narrow boot. Thanks again to Robert for posting them though

I thought the Varick's were the brown ones on the right? The Aberdeen's are the brown ones next to them (with the Kiltie)?

I remember when Dastig offered all of these models on this thread a few years ago. I kick myself ********** for not buying myself multiple pairs of each. The Julian era was such a decent season for shoes & boots.

But you have a regular closet. RKD rents a 3/2 for his wardrobe. Boots were in the basement.
