Not a bad start to my birthday. Bacon cheeseburger, and a trip to the Salvation Army where I was met with an unexpected surprise: $3 for (almost) everything sale. Everything I bought was $3 though, so that bag of goodies cost me $27.

The bag is even bigger and more stuffed than it looks in the picture since I stocked up on some seriously heavy F/W tweeds.

Not pictured here is a navy linen Brooks Brothers sport coat; a vintage HSM dark olive tweed herringbone jacket w/ hook vent; a nice navy plaid sport coat from Nordstrom; a coral red/pink Lands’ End blazer with patch flap pockets; and a crazy thick and heavy wool (feels like loden) jacket w/ hacking pockets and leather buttons, made in Hungary. I’ll probably throw some elbow patches on it for the upcoming winter. I’m sure you’ll see pictures of it once the weather gets colder here…

I’m definitely not mad about the Dormeuil sport coat. Lots of handwork, padstitched lapels, and other nice details.
