Yes it is heavy and I primarily wear it as outerwear. It's 20 oz. I edited my post.

It might be difficult to embrace for some as the styling seen so far is pretty experimental and intense. But each garment alone, nah.
And i'm also really into that batik print. But the ones who aren't really into that stuff shouldn't worry too much, there will be striped suits and hooded bal coats too ;)

Nice fit Gary. It's really nice to be able to stay stylish at that age & beyond.

I just got myself a pair of the PB Chambord, wonderful shoe. Loving it.

Thanks Dino! We sell the Chambord and it's also one of my favorites. Enjoy them, my first pair from 1985 might just outlive me....They are going strong.

Wow what did I miss?

Where you been man?

Big fan of the batik print used on the Andover here (full suit anyone? :p )

Love it, onto kopplist

I was complimenting you. Don't let age deter you from sarcasm.

Man, I wish like hell he'd make an EG version of Maine Guide Jacket he did for WWM. I love that coat, a sucker for the shawl collar.

Still looking for brown cord :foo:

That WWM Maine Guide is like one of the best jackets ever. I've got it in a beautiful herringbone wool but would trade mine in a heartbeat for the brown corduroy.

Bump. Is the Nyco Ripstop fabric water-resistant?


it is Nylon/Cotton for that reason. It's not water proof, but it will wick away moisture like rain/snow. If you've ever seen a 60/40 parka by say like, classic Sierra Designs - I think the NyCo parka is 60/40 material as well. You can't stand in a waterfall and not get wet, but it should be fine against anything else if you're not being drenched.

huh, I actually like the print on the second one better than the first. I probably wouldn't wear either myself, just not my style, but if I were it would be the second for sure.

Thanks. The NyCo Ripstop is 50/50, I suppose it's similar to the classic 60/40...

Yea, I would guess they'd be pretty much identical. 60/40 is more like 54/46 but for a marketing perspective they call it 60/40. :)
