On the first day of the week I like preparing by getting my alignment squared away which means day one equals a church day with the family. Grabbed an uber basic outfit: HSM navy blazer, red p square, CT tattersall oxford shirt, RL red rep tie (1982), charcoal pants, cashmere socks, Alden shell cordovan tassels (1982), Weneger field watch. Then quick nap and prepping for adventure Two The next fishing trip preparation involved a Barbour re-wax since there is potential rain in the Tennessee forecast. Started with a sponge wipe down before church and then left it out in the sun to dry and heat up. After church I boiled a pot of water to put the can of wax into and the brushing began. Lastly left it out in sun to stay heated followed by allowing it to rest in a warmer environment in doors overnight (it will ride in the back of the truck for the 14 hour drive sitting over my Orvis gear Bag to give it about 40 hours to cure). With a 5:15 AM departure I need to get some rest soon. Gear is ready. And so am I!!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FjJLs29wt7s&feature=youtu.be

So if you have been around in the RMRS community for an AUstralian Winter you know what I am about to break out and bring into Rotation. I love my Coats and Jackets, and as it cools down and heads into Winter I get excited to break them all out. SO I have done a quick series of photos this morning with 6 of my Coats. So lets see who likes which the best 😜

Hello Gentlemen, I have come across a duffel coat and would like to understand whether it fits. I did two tests for its fit. The first test, I wore it on its own over an OCBD shirt and it felt snug on me, like a great fit, but when I tried moving me arms, I felt a bit constricted, due to the heaviness of the wool in the coat. In the second test, I wore it over a suit jacket. When I stood still, I did not feel any problems. But once I started moving my arms, I felt constricted once again due to the heaviness of the coat. The coat fit overall is looser than a suit jacket (so it can be layered on top of a suit jacket), 1 inch wider at the shoulders, a couple inches wider at the chest, and the sleeve length covers the wrist and is above the pinch of the hand. Is this constriction of movement normal for this coat? Is it something that will loosen up with repeated wears? I found the coat in a thrift store so may have already been worn for a long time, so this may not be the case. Thank you for reading my message!
