It’s the Lomond and I think the bottom button is fastened to show all three buttons on the website. What’s really odd is that this jacket fits perfectly!! ??? The sleeves are perfect (that never happens) and the area below the neck in the back looks like it was tailored (in Savile Row) just for me. also ??
Now maybe I was lucky, or I’m just the perfect body type for the typical British country estate squire. Any way I’ll now have to sell my small beach house (and small lot) and acquire a large country estate in England or Scotland just to properly wear this incredible jacket.
Also got the brown moleskin trousers to wear with it. Can’t wait for winter and those chilly 50 degree temps here in So. California, USA!!
No, no moleskin isn’t from a mole!!
Moleskin is an abrasion and tear resistant fabric made of tightly woven long-staple cotton. It was developed in the 14th century for hunting and fishing attire. Moleskin’s reputation for toughness was so good it found use as aprons to protect workers from splashes of molten metal in 16th Century English foundries.
And Bookster uses the finest quality moleskin available.
Thanks Bookster
