I love the single review.

Are there matching trousers?

"This is the perfect jacket for the man whose husband has a homemade skirt for every occasion!"

Lynn, I spotted that jacket too. Can you believe it?! I wonder if such things are really worn in some parts of the country.

And do you believe the prices in that catalog? I told DH that now that I've quit working (he retired several years ago)he can't read that catalog anymore. He spotted the $2,500 lambskin jacket.

Hmm, my DH has a tartan panel jacket very similar (the two years ago model) and he LOVES it! Orvis is his favorite store and he was thrilled when one opened about 45 minutes away from us. He bought our dogs the matching tartan collars for Christmas. That said, he wears it with blue jeans instead of the matching pants for casual events, which gives it a much *hipper* vibe.

Now watch... Lightning is going to strike me dead! LOL!

Hahahahaha! Clown coat alert!

Actually, I'm envisioning a couple of very flambuoyant souls I know of who would be quite comfortable wearing that out on the town or to a party. They would light up the room, that's for sure.
;-)

Depending on the cut, do they have it in a 46L (maybe 48L??)
That's my suitcoat size...;-)

Makes my eyes ache!

I live an area where over the top preppy is the norm. Unfortuantely, I wouldn't even bat an eye if I saw that thing.

I live on the Third Coast and preppy is a way of life for many on Chicago's North Shore.

Ha, I'm in love with plaid lately but that's just not doing it for me. :)

Definitely for the Preppy that has everything. Perfect to wear with his Snowman or Christmas Tree printed corduroy pants at the country club Holiday party. Just add a festive red bow-tie!

My first thought was "he's gay, and he's a fabulous dresser" because it takes a confidant man to pull that off. Lol then I read goldies post....ok so he's just a fabulous dresser. I can see that dressed up with black suit pants and a bow tie and fab diamond studs...or casual with jeans and loafers.

I'm obviously hanging around with too many well dressed gay men lol. I have a couple of friends I could instantly see that on heh heh.

I can't get past the blue plaid.. the others at least are similar colors; but the blue screams yuck.

You wear it with your embroidered FU pants or Nantucket reds. Also an embroidered belt, needlepointed slippers (no socks, natch) and an air of preppy geniality. Extra points if you're named Wentworth Campbell Saltonstoll III, but everyone knows you as Trip.

It's not worse than a bolo tie with a turquoise Kokopelli.

If any of you have hockey fans in your family, then you must know the legendary Don Cherry, commentator & star of Coach's Corner on Hockey Night in Canada.

I live near a college town (actually I work there!), and yes, there are so over the top preppy dressers. I can see a few nice looking young men pulling this off, and I like Goldy's hubby's idea of pairing with jeans. I can see this being worn to a Christmas party. LOL

I must confess. DH wouldn't be caught DEAD in that jacket. LOL! He is a former hippie, not a preppie. I just couldn't resist.

What's wrong with a bolo tie with a turquoise Kokopelli? You obviously don't live in the southwest! LOL!

There is a guy in DH's office who would totally wear this. At every annual holiday party (a very formal event where most men wear dark suits and the women wear cocktail dresses) he wears a totally wild jacket and/or crazy pants like the martini ones above (his have little Christmas trees). He is straight. I love seeing what he wears every year. The best I can do with my DH is perhaps get him to wear a bright tie!

Auntjen--thus the joke. No, I don't live in the SW, nor does the OP live in Darien, Mt. Deseret, Jupiter Island, or summer on the Vineyard.
