Heading East

My gal and I are heading east to the Smoky Mountains for the next few days (snow in the forecast.)  Full report due upon our return. Hope you're enjoying Fall wherever you are. Have a great weekend.

Four For Fall

1940 corrected reprint of 1937 edition I picked up at the flea market

Folk Mid Brown Canvas Overcoat from Coggles

Hercules!

Local art.

This Is Fall: American Outerwear

Here are a few reasons why I look forward to the cooler weather around here. Made for fall in the USA.

Pointer Brand is a staple.

I love 60/40 parkas. This Woolrich is for morning chores/dog walking.

Another 60/40. L.L. Bean really ought to bring back this classic.

Union made. First belonged to my grandfather who was a welder/farmer/fisherman/blacksmith/fiddler.

Filson waxed upland jacket (game bag attached to back.)

This Is Fall: Walden Pond

An old friend (college roommate -- yes, that kind of old friend), who is now based mostly out of Boston/Brooklyn, was in Concord, MA the other day and, at my request, began sending me pictures of what he saw. Being a bit of an American literature freak I was most interested in Walden Pond but he also threw in his breakfast at South End Buttery and the Concord fire station. If this doesn't get you in full Fall mode then not much else will. Thanks RT!

Eye-Catcher: LL Bean Signature Boots FW2010

So far, these boots have been the only offering from the forthcoming LL Bean Signature collection that I have looked twice at.  Now, if only they were being made stateside.  (But then they'd be more than $149.)

Field Notes for Fall

Here at the GSC Field Notes® notebooks are some of our favorite things.  We don't go anywhere without at least one tucked into a pocket.  Last week, we were quick enough to get an order in for the latest limited edition color set known as "Mackinaw Autumn." According to an email update sent from the Field Notes® HQ, this latest in their series of limited seasonal colors sold out in 22 hours.  Do yourself a favor:  ditch your Moleskine® and get some Field Notes®.
