it is so funny how people can be so alike in some respects, i.e. cigars, and yet so different in others, i.e. tastes in clothing (jackets). I could never see myself in a leather bobmber jacket for some reason.

I couldn't ever see myself in any leather jacket living here. A sweater is about the most I wear during winter.

Larry, I agree with you 100% on that point! When I first started in construction in 1980 my Uncle told me to buy good boots and he recommended I try Red Wings. I went to the Red Wing store and saw the price was over $100 so I stayed with the $40 cheap boots I'd been wearing. I finally tried the Red Wings a few years later and found out what he was talking about. I never went back to the cheap stuff! Some things are just worth more!
Funny you mention the Red Wings, my father is the same way, its all he'll wear.

Well, we stopped by the Orvis store in Tyson's Corner and checked this out while trying to help the contractions along.

I guess I never really paid attention but the buttons don't go all the way up, this jacket is basically a three button leather sports coat, like a blazer or suit coat. I was so dissapointed!

Oh well, I guess I need to start looking for another coat.

So this is really a sports jacket and not an outer wear jacket? :scratchhe If that is the case then I kind see the price as more inline. Kind of like a sports jacket made by Joseph Abud or Armini then the price is inline. :thumbsup:
