From their final tour.

I think someone said in here to either keep it clean or wear it into the ground; frankly it’s easier to do the latter for me. Sadly, only about 40 wear days in three years, and zero washes as you may have guessed. It’s a little too heavy for summer and a little too light for winter, but great in the shoulder seasons. I still wear it to work on the weekends when the brass isn’t around, actually like wearing it for trail work and that certainly helps dirty it up!

Pimped with turquoise snaps. And now with a ring around the collar!

I’d have thought the darker parts of the combs would be the high points of the fabric as elsewhere, but it looks like the opposite.

Some nice roping. A healthy mix of dirt, indigo bleed, and wax from waxed canvas pants.

Despite this all, I don’t really think it smells. I am definitely a super sweater (will get dried salt on my face and clothing during from her exercise), but I don’t seem to have bad bo. Or maybe I just can’t smell myself!

Funny I just got mine out to take some photos today. Yours looks a little better. Or worse.
