The time-honored USN Pea Coat in rich, heavy Horsehide with heavyweight Pure Nylon Satin Lining for durability with silken feel. Rugged and refined. Cotton flannel lined pockets, beautiful tortoise shell buttons. Virtually indestructible yet with the inimitable beauty of famous LOST WORLDS Horsehide grain (which can be glimpsed above before the jacket's even worn and broken-in). Consider the amazingly elaborate rear collar stitch work, for example. It's craft taken to a different level, a level where clothing -- extraordinarily difficult clothing to make, in fact -- approaches art in its attention to detail, effect and execution. Not for the many, alas, for the few. Not for blog queens, for men.

Well-cut for casual and business uses. Durable past a lifetime. Trim cut for American men, not dropped, raglan shoulder, Eurotrash clothing, for lounging on the Via Pretensa or shopping at the "upscale" mall. Coffee, not cappuccino. Chocolate chip cookies, not biscotti.

This isn't, though, to cast mud on other cultures or mores (the way they en masse do to ours), merely to assert that we have our own heritage and style, which articulate, color and identify us, and one should look homeward first, to discover the gems in our own backyard  -- especially now, beset as we are by utter savages and the Quisling nations of the West which abet them, purchasing fake security with the blood of Americans and our (few) allies.  Everything one does or doesn't do is a statement. Think before you wear? Ciao.
