I like what you are doing.<br /><br />That aside, I saw some pictures on The Sartorialist's blog recently where people would wear their vests over their jacket. Is that for a more fashionable look? jacket has a fit too tight to wear the vest underneath? What are your thoughts?<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Albert Akashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222871098272011798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-82544412043199620922008-12-15T11:49:00.000-08:002008-12-15T11:49:00.000-08:00I've the exact same LLB vest in identical color.

Barbour jackets are very useful garments, perfect for layering. <BR/><BR/>I miss the cold weather, though I understand that mid-30s isn't very cold. I can recall seeing, when I was a boy in our Darien (CT) and New Canaan (CT) houses, turtles swimming under the ice in our local ponds during the winter! <BR/><BR/>In the 1970s and '80s, down vests and patch madras trousers were all the rage at Darien Sport Shop and Bob's in New Canaan.Laguna Beach Fogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027025872132699493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-54033199435713911042008-12-10T14:41:00.000-08:002008-12-10T14:41:00.000-08:00Those pictures are making me homesick for Mass.Those pictures are making me homesick for Mass.Jean Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729909498648719841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-58803502012718053272008-12-10T14:08:00.000-08:002008-12-10T14:08:00.000-08:00I have the Lands End vest, and it indeed is nice (...I have the Lands End vest, and it indeed is nice (and a good value).<BR/><BR/>FYI, the old style snap-in Barbour liners still are available from Fishing The Cape (fishingthecape.com).
