Super swell.
Your Chaps jacket, very vintage as you may know, for whenever a Chaps or Polo logo has Ralph Lauren's name all in caps, it's from the very early years of the empire. Newer stuff has the Lauren name in lowercase letters. The shoe shot is great, as are the shoes themselves. (I have been after Mike to drop the from-the-crotch shoe shots, where the shoes look a mile away, and take something from the point of someone who might see you.) Good show all around.

Realized the other day I was in Bean from head to toe, except for the socks. Bean down jacket, Bean flannel shirt, Bean lined chinos, insulated three-eye Bean boots, Bean long johns. Darn Tough socks and a NY Jets cap were the only outliers, and the cap has a big stain on it. (Hoping it's mud.)

Coming back here almost brings me to tears thinking about when I first found this place. How much life has changed, but also stayed the same.

Great outfit, but how are the cords a revelation (Other than their gorgeous color)? If they are Brisbane Moss, the cords at OC and Andover are comparable, but OC charges more. Andover has the pleated on sale. I am still not a fan of the five belt loop look. It is comfortable, it holds my belt, and it shows more of my belt, but it just feels a little weird.

but how are the cords a revelation

It's the fit! After trying on many pairs of trousers and chinos from O'Connell's I didn't think I'd be able to find quality pants that were high rise with a straight leg that didn't look voluminous on me. When I went in store to J Press in the fall of 2021 I was kind of surprised to find a trimmer fit that looked good. I ended up getting a pair of medium gray flannel trousers and this year I got burgundy cords.

Looks like we have the same blue navy shetland sweater from O'Connell's...

What fabric did you choose for your Proper Cloth OCDB (I think there are 3 different kinds...the cheapest one, pima cotton and an expensive Thomas Mason fabric)? I need a replacement for a seven year old Ratio Clothing OCDB and am thinking of trying Proper Cloth.

All mine are the cheapest one. I also have one from Ratio (Pink University Stripe fabric). The PC ones feel heavier and slightly stiffer. I do like the unlined Ratio collars - no unlined option at PC. I have no experience with the two pricier fabrics. Mine have soften some but still are a hearty fabric. The only other OCBDs I have are some really old BB.
