It may be Christmas Day, but it falls on Friday this year which means another installment of #FridayFFS. I'm feeling the giving spirit, so you get a break from menswear (and photos of me). Instead I’m featuring my better half, Christine, and her camel Chesterfield topcoat—or as she calls it—her "Peter McCallister," a la 1990’s holiday classic, HOME ALONe. She loves to pretend she's running to the gate through a bustling O'Hare, with passports and boarding passes tucked inside a chest pocket. In the interest of full disclosure, the coat was a Christmas gift from me a few years ago. Christine looks really fantastic in this color, which I regrettably cannot say about myself (not that we’re anywhere near the same size). The coat goes with most everything in her wardrobe, and it can be dressed up or down. Most importantly, this coat is WARM, thanks to a touch of cashmere, and she is ALWAYS COLD—even in mild San Francisco. FIBER: 90% wool, 10% cashmere blend FABRIC: melton (I think), camel color FIT: knee length, slightly oversized to accommodate layering; “Keep the change, ya filthy animal!” FUNCTION: 3-button concealed front closure, single/center vent, fully lined, 2 hip pockets, 1 ticket pocket, 1 welt pocket at chest, 2 internal chest pockets FEEL: if the cashmere doesn’t make you feel like you’re flying first class to Paris while your kids are in coach, then the pick stitching on the notch lapels and pockets will. “More Champagne, please!” FROM: Ralph Lauren, made in China; purchased directly from the brand in December 2017 #FridayFFS #VNDERSTATED #Womenswear #RalphLauren #Polo #Outerwear #HomeAlone #PeterMcCallister https://www.instagram.com/p/CJOxsj4Bkav/?igshid=1odkalag1e50b
