No, I got back all the ones I sent, but I didn't send all of them at once so that I'd have stuff to wear in the interim.

That's not an FU jacket.

This is an FU jacket:

I like the black buttonholes, however.

Horse blanketish? I don't know - I feel like the green and my hardy thornproof I've got a few bold one's already.

I tell you what though - the current range of house fabrics at Huntsman are off the chain.

I only have three DBs from Rubinacci but they all have the same inner button placement.

I have to agree with ed about the FU-ness of your jackets. Even if the patterns are somewhat bold or large, they're still traditional and the color ways suggest man walking the grounds with his Purdey more than used car salesman or old 70's couch. Looking like one of the latter, as Lapo accomplishes with aplomb, would win you serious FU points.

Old 70's couch is where is at, at least for one sportcoat, minus the plastic covering.

Plastic lining would be epic.
