“It’s early April weather today!” the news said excitedly, but it has nothing to do with the temperature outside when I’m heading out to work in the early morning.
I walk through the still and quiet air, blocking the wind with the big collars of my jacket.
If it’s cold, I can cover my head completely with the hood behind the collar.
The jacket was apparently designed based on the Royal Smock, but the fabric is GORE-TEX and it has a water-blocking fastener, so it is more “outdoorsy” than military.
I’m not a military fanatic or soldier, so this “very slightly, kind of military” touch is probably just about right.
I stuff my keys, smartphones, the book I’m reading, and everything in my jacket pocket, buy a coffee at the station, and head to work.

Wide Chino Pants
$280.00(+tax) SUCF913_
Standard shirt with a relaxed silhouette.
The fabric uses T/C broadcloth composed of cotton yarn wrapped around a polyester center, so it has the feel of natural fibers and the strength of polyester.
It features motifs of vintage shirts from the 50s to 70s like round sleeves, 5 buttons and a pen holder, but uses easy to open dot buttons.
