bjarvisToday, I went clothes shopping, aided by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cuyahogarvr. The mission was simple: I wanted a light sports coat I could wear if I needed to get a little dressy for my business trip to Bangalore next week. It would also be very nice for the occasional square dance special event if I'm going to be on stage either in an emceeing or calling capacity.
Shopping for a jacket was initially trickier than I had thought. I typically wear a 42R jacket size but I was astounded by the variations in sizing between clothing manufacturers. For some brands, I had to look to a 44L; the coats I bought are actually marked as 40S.
I was happy to find Kohl's had a sale: one coat at the regular price, the second half off. I was happier yet to find two coats of the style & color I wanted and, despite the size labels, would fit me comfortably.
For your consideration, I submit two photos (and I apologize in advance for the poor focus):

Cheers!
