Angie, thanks!

LP, thanks. Re lint magnet, now that you mention it, yes! I have noticed bits of lint on it. And my hair is mostly light (grey) and I have a white dog.

I'm going to have to think about this. Thank you for mentioning this.

I do like the double plaid a whole lot. It packs a ton of style vitality. Honestly, l wish I'd thought of it!

Rachy, you are welcome to copy my inadvertent fashion statement.

I'm glad you found both of these. The first one will be excellent for traipsing through the woods, and is both interesting and well made. The second is a great bit of fun --- and if you love the black watch you can keep your eyes open for a replacement that might tick all your boxes! I call items like these "placeholders," and sometimes they end up being beloved items.

Beth Ann, thanks. I like the idea of placeholder. Maybe I'll find an awesome Black Watch jacket some day, and in the meanwhile this casual jacket will do.
