Sweet- used to have a very similar coat. Your auto collection?

damn AoT ... nice whips meng ... whats the collection?

hell yeah

Geez, AoT. Nice gear. It was a cold and gray week in Shakeytown. Camel cashmere.

The challenge was figuring out what coat to wear.


Vintage camel hair polo coat with all the bells and whistles, made for Rothman's New York
Brooks Brothers made in England fedora
Drake's scarf
Venanzi gloves

That's a beauty, Alan.

I'll recycle an older pic for OW, cuz I was too lazy to take a pick of todays coat.



And here's what I actually wore (DQ me if necessary, the gorilla Spoo wore is too over the top for me to compete with anyways)

Is that a GT350?

Not jeans, I think. (What's the definition?)

Swedes have a movement in furniture/fashion/style called "funkis" - that is evident in your dressing and living style...it is charming, folky and leans a tad toward awkward/unexpected. Jacket is Funkis.
I continue to enjoy your posting, BB

Cool in theory Mike, but too puffy...your frame is meant for tailored fits.

Really nice ensemble - great boots.

IST66: Dig the fit, wish I could see the overcoat deets better

Cheers to all for the props

The whips are a sickness... always coming and going - in today's background shots:
'65 Shelby GT350
'61 Bentley Continental drophead
'69 Mercedes 280SL
'56 Chevy 210

I am sorely disappointed in the absence of red covert coats from today's contest.

Yes. Not five-pockets, but "autumn heavy" cotton twill (jeans are cotton twill too, right?).

Thanks, AOT. And compliments for your relaxed and natural fits. (The one with the pipe some time ago was my favourite.)

I don't mind Sander's comments, btw. It was a bit short this time, though.

^^Alan C, that is great. But would gloves that matched shoes or hat pop a little more?

That jacket would look really great with a pair of jeans, too. Keep the idea in your pocket for the weekend.

That is usually what I wear it with.

It was all I had. No real need for coats down here.

Thought that was a GT350. My dad promised me one when I was 13. This was when the MT article came out comparing the soon to be released SVO, with the GT350. When I was finally 16, he didn't want to spring for the 10k a GT350 was going for back then...so I wound up with a '65 GTO. Hey, I wasn't complaining and I still don't.....although we both regret not getting the Shelby.

Funny, I have owned 3 SVO's since that summer of '83....but no Shelbys.
