Love what I can see of the jacket, but can I suggest having someone take the photo as the “Selfies” only give us a partial view of the jacket . I’m thinking about a 5 Star Poughkeepsie and I’d definitely like to see more of it …. Cheers

There’s no one around to take a good pic for me, but here’s the pokey laid out. The pocket snaps are off center and the pockets are almost on the side, the collar has a very small profile compared to the Dubow. But the wool knits are greatly superior to the acrylic ones on the Dub, I would strongly recommend the wool knits. These are the seal knits btw.

The offset snaps (copied from the original on hand) generated a stir on FB...

Yes I remember seeing that. I think I was one of, if not the first, to get the Poughkeepsie from FiveStar. It’s my understanding the issue has been corrected now.

I will say this though, the off center snaps make opening/closing the pockets a little awkward. You have to pull it hard and and at a bit of an angle I’ve noticed.

Agreed. One work around is to set the phone up against something and use the self timer function in order to get in front of it and at sufficient distance to obtain the whole jacket.

I don’t know why I didn’t think about that
Tomorrow when I get the chance I will post some better pictures of the Poughkeepsie

Beautiful, what's the lowdown on this one?

 

[Sideslip]

My wife and I went out last night, baby sitter for the kids, finally some time to spend together! So we went to …. watch No Time to Die and did not speak to each other for three hours . But we did have a nice quick dinner. Because it was Bond, I pulled out this 20+ year old black Yohji Yamamoto bought in an incredible sale in Tokyo in 2000 when I was visiting my parents. The leather is still butter soft although the lining is now suffering.

Looks like a jacket that Dr No would have worn in the James Bond, Dr. No film.
