Is that the Kansan in dark brown suede? If so, that was the piece that I was most taken by...

Yes it is! I could have gone for the brown horse clubman too but not available in my size. No regrets with this choice. JG suede is so nice.

And Greg has promised a JG preorder where I can get my brown horse in a padded Ricarde. At least he has in the life of my mind. And I’m happy there.

Dang Frank. That is a great look.

I always thought the Grose jackets weren't something I could pull off. But that jacket in particular is awesome. All I'd change is to wear a New York Mets hat.:hide:

The brown turtle neck really kicks that outfit up a notch. Green shirt peeking out is great too. Well done.

Well, the caps your choice. I’m really only wearing this one because it has a bird on it.

I’ve decided that, the part of the internal conversation in which you say that you can’t pull off that leather jacket is well rejoined by another part that shrugs and says, “I’ll drive that tanker.”

What's the difference between the $895 versions of the bumfreezer and the $765 ones? Is there a different thickness in the fabric?

Correct. Different fabrics. The more expensive fabrics are more textured in their weave (whether hopsack or herringbone) and are just more expensive to procure.
Does the Valstar Valstarino Bomber Jacket fit true to size?
It fits rather slim and on the smaller side. I take my Eidos suit size (54) but that's quite slim. Don't hesitate to size up one.

Ah ok. So it's no warmer than the hopsack or herringbone fabrics? Was thinking to get one in the non-olive/green colors for the colder months in NYC.
