Head to Toe: Batten Down the Hatches.













































































On the subject of the Deck Jacket, a cold and blustery day calls for battening down the hatches. Hold fast. Spring off the starboard bow.

    When/for how much did you get that Mr. Freedom deck jacket? Can I have it?

    I happen to have one of those belts. I got it in a box of Army Reserve stuff from my uncle - so I assume it is US Army issue circa 1970s. This one is a Army/Navy surplus store find, I'll bet.

    Jeans are old Ralph Lauren. And belt is an army/navy find. Found a small cache of them at a surplus store in Nashville. The buckle is what stood out to me too. Hadn't seen it before.

    The Mister Freedom jacket is pretty killer... did you pay around full price? Worth the investment you think? Been having trouble pulling the trigger on a winter coat for a while, this might be my favorite I've seen.

    zack, it is for sure an investment but one well worth it.
    Certainly something you'll have for many years to come. It's a great weight for layering in winter and wearing unlayered in Fall.
    I know how it can be to hesitate on something like this, but I've been super stoked on it and imagine that to be the case for some time to come.
    thanks for stopping by Secret Forts and hope that helps in your decision.
