In this post I talked about a Doyle Jacket.

I also-recently got an Armoury, City Hunter. While different it is still rather similar to the Doyle. Normally, I wouldn’t want to items so similar,however, i couldn’t decide whichI preferred.

The City Hunter is a lighter in weight, with a more open weave - so I expect it will wear much cooler in the summer. It’s a little more tailored. Flap instead of patch pockets, and strangely but weirdly cool - no notch or peak in the lapel. The color is a little darker as well.

I have two Navy Suits... now I have three Navy SC’s. I guess you can never have too many Navy jackets.

Ha, i’d been watching that for awhile. Thanks for removing the temptation I guess.

I have a very similar margiela belt, but it has an extra leather flap that extends over the front.

Diggin this Polo! It's rare, but I come across this era Polo at the thrifts every once in awhile. Usually a piece that could be in an RRL collection, but for some reason this era Polo is better construction than RRL. I got a couple of flannels that are amazing.

@malcb33 Yes! Ive been after exactly the same belt for a while, problem is I usually find them in too large a waist! Then I stumbled on this on ebay for $18, surprised Brooks Bros would do such a similar design.

Fixed the enormous photos sizes, sorry about that

@malcb33 Did a bit of digging. I had always thought the hidden closure belts were an original design by Margiela, would make sense given the asthetic created. However they are called Mechanics Belts, designed so there is no outward facing metal that could scratch or become caught in tools or objects being machined. Using that search you can find some cool versions online, though nothing as refined as what Margiela's done with the concept.

Yup, that’s what I understood as well. I remember many moons ago someone posted a link to some decent (and inexpensive) mechanic belts.

Not sure what size you are, but if you really keen I could be persuaded to move mine. I do like it, but don’t wear it much.
