what style of cuff is this?
also it looks quite loose... is that an issue?
It’s the heavyweight workshop cuff. I ordered it from J Crew and it was offered as “one size” but I think it’s a large. Looseness not an issue but I’d probably get a medium if I get another. It digs in quite a bit taking it off/on though.

Just got these three shirts in. The green checked flannel is the softest flannel I got from RRL, it wears very nice.

I also bought the black quilted overshirt as to wear as a coat for the spring, but for some reason the material bends strangely and creates some sort of beer belly on my back, lol. So that one is going back I'm afraid.

Just picked up these stunning buckle-back corduroy trousers secondhand. Does anyone know anything about them? Did some googling but nothing's come up. My guess is they're fairly old. The construction is really something else.

Sadly they're huge on me (both waist and thigh), so they need to be extensively tailored... I hope it's doable.

Nice, I have the same but in XL. Its def. a size too big for you but you may be able to close the cuff a bit to help. maybe a hammer would do it. If you google, how to put on a cuff, there's a technique to sliding it on that makes it easy.

I also have a rotary cuff, in polished copper, which is really nice and a regular workshop cuff in copper which is meh.

I think the standard size cuffs are alittle too thin for my wrists and looks a bit dainty. The Bessemer cuff is calling me though.

I think this is sick. Your thoughts?

What I'm liking: the fact that the colors are muted and dark, not "generic" crayon box greens a la ...

A little military-esque today: RRL cardigan and cargos, Belstaff biker/engineers.

I get the idea, but I feel like it's almost "too" aggressive. I think it's the boots (or maybe just not tucking in the pants), and of course, the all black. Maybe a less aggressive chukka/boot, contrasting belt and, I don't know, the cardigan NOT being black would tone it down.
