I own two Overcoats in Charcoal and and a gray herringbone, but have been considering and wanting a camel. Then this morning glances through FB Marketplace this Prisma Italian Coat pops up in my size for 20.00!! I figured it was a sign and price seemed to good. Best part is it was practically delivered and saved me about 40-50 miles round trip driving. But I'm not 100% sure on material? It does have the Prisma label seen inside, and the Italian made on the collar and fully lined which is an indicator of quality. But is missing the launders and material tag which is frustrating. I believe these were made in the 90s. I was initially looking for camel, but through some online searches all I can find is 95% wool 5% cashmere anyone have insight on these coats?

Had such a great night out for a few hours. Seems like Momma and I get precious few minutes just between us with 5 busy littles at home. We still had to take the youngest, but that was alright. The food was fantastic, and we a tried a cantarita, a cocktail of tequila and grapefruit soda with slices of real fruit. It was so good.

Since I turned 29 a week or two ago, my wife has seen fit that I should take us on a date. With my new Hickey Freeman blue blazer just back from the tailor this week, I built a "night out" outfit around it for its maiden voyage. We plan to go to the new Puerto Vallarta for Mexican cuisine, so I chose a shirt that expresses a southwestern motif, and paired it with the bolo tie that I actually made myself. The pocket square is a lighter blue that picks up the faint blue in the shirt, and adds its own accents in tones of gold, green, and pink. Medium tan jeans and Justin python boots make up the base of the outfit; and the top and outer layer are finished off with a 100X pure beaver felt vintage Resistol hat, and a 100% wool double-breasted overcoat. (Overcoat is maybe just a tad formal for this occasion, but the temps are still frigid. The tail of my blazer sticks out underneath my peacoat, and with my camel colored single breasted coat, there's just too many different browns and tans at work.) I also want to add how happy I am with the new blazer and its fit. Because @Brian McGuire taught us about the proper length of jackets and button placement, I recognized this blazer as one that would fit properly. Notice how the length is sufficient to cover the entire crotch and buttocks, and the top button hits at the navel, or true waist. The sleeves could probably be a quarter of an inch shorter, but they still get a passing grade as they do not extend past my wrist bone. When worn with French cuffs or a dress shirt of fitted length, more shirt cuff would be visible, unlike a casual shirt of this variety.
