YES. Just all around yes. Would drive across the bay to Tampa for this. Hell, I'd call out sick. Mike, it's a great reason to take the family to Disney World/Busch Gardens/Universal (but really just Harry Potter).

I'm in Atlanta, but would arrange a trip down to see my daughters in the TB area, for this and Cigar City.

Hey @Epaulet ,

Just thought I'd tell you that that new forum we talked about is juuuust about ready. I'm trying to figure out a way to give you a preview before we go live.

Cheers,

Fok.

@TactileOne well, we don't have any trunk shows planned for Florida, but we've got one confirmed for Los Angeles on 4/9 and a tentative one for Atlanta in May.

EFF Shirt and Unfinished Horsehide GAT'S. Apologies for not taking the iron to the shirt before putting it on. It was in my luggage!

Mike -
I am in the market for a good "workhorse" casual navy blazer. I've had my eye on the LBM Vittorio Navy Loro Piana ($895) for awhile.... and now I see there is another LBM Vittorio Navy Loro Piana Navy Pique ($995) available. It sounds like this new one is a "Bright Navy" color?!?

Anyhow, just trying to understand the differences between them and any recommendations on which might be a better choice for airline travel, business casual etc.

Thx!

Grey moleskin field jacket, how's the weight it? Been thinking about picking that up.

@L.I.T. it's a great weight for night in LA or cooler days. I'd find it hot to wear on a sunny afternoon. It's about the same weight as a denim jacket, but moleskin is brushed and tends to be more insulating and wind-resistant. I know that @SteveH35 wears his jacket quite a bit.

I think that you could rock it hard. Fringe benefit is that it ages in a very cool way when you wear the hell out of it.

Yeah its between that and the french blue doyle since it's already warming up in LA.


Have the French blue Doyle and wear it often in LA when visiting the folks. Basically perfect weight for cool nights there. No experience with the field jacket but it looks more substantial to me.
