All this discussed in the CPO thread John - but I don't think anyone has presented 'evidence' to say it's period correct. I think the likelihood is that it is merely an interpretation.

Surprised at your measurements though - 19.5" puts it at about a size 15 (or smaller according to most retailers).

John, I just measured my size 16 FW CPO and the p2p measures 53 cm / 20.9 inches. Could yours have had a hot wash/soak?

Feels a bit dumb to keep posting Hoosier's pictures here, since most interested parties are probably already following them, but the Switchyard is one that I've been hoping to see them shoot

The Hippo Brown Switchyard aged nicely as well. I like how the collar curls a bit with wear too so they look smaller.

Hoosier's IG is worth following as well. Hoosier posts additional pics that are different from the blog.

Yeah I had the same thought on the collar.  In the above pic the jacket has kind of a ragged dandy look, which is really the only kind of dandy I can abide (for myself).

Switchyard temptation on the rise.

I still want that floral indigo scarf. If anyone spots it for sale, please let me know.
