No way a skinny son like you wears a 46.

I wear a 40.
My Beaufort I have now is a 38, but the arms are too short which is a pain.

Trading it for the Border this weekend hopefully.

I guess this as good a time as any to ask, I wear a 44 in Barbour. Do they typically run a size big? (I like jackets in this style to be fitted).

They do indeed run big, to fit the liners and jumpers underneath.

Try a 42 or even a 40 if you want a more fitted look.

Many thanks, old sport. May your cup runneth over with Purple and Barbour.

Fun fact: I was honored to play a trumpet duet with Maynard Ferguson on stage back in 1988. He was ******* plastered. It was awesome.

So I've spent more in thrifts in five days than I think I have in five weeks, but it's been worth it. There are MANY mega-grails, but this is my champion.

I managed to hold it with the intention of flipping for two days before my resolve failed.

NA as ****; pry it from my cold dead hands.

P.S. got to formally meet @the2ndhandman last Wednesday—properly cool dude! (And yes, 2nd, that was there on Saturday. (VERY glad I was one of the first people through the door!)
