Hats and Leather Coats get a Rest

 

Bye Winter and no more leather coats and hats...
How much I love to wear this buttery soft Escada coat from the Outlet!
Also the wool flannel pants from Escada
Do you own a leather coat?
Husband Pieter loves my tweed newsboy cap!
That's why he captured me and in return I captured him in his tweed jacket with leather elbow patches.

Do you wear any hats or caps?

  1. You certainly do have a flair for style! You look great. :-)

    No, I don't own any leather coats or other clothing, nor do I wear hats or caps--any I've tried are quite unflattering on me. I WILL wear a sun hat in the summertime if I'm out for any length of time, I think it's a man's hat. (I must have a large head!)

    1. Dearest Kim,
      Thank you but you almost make me shiver for you, knowing that in your area it gets really cold! Nothing to protect your ears from the frost bites?
      Hugs,

  2. Hello Mariette, I have never owned a leather jacket--they seem too warm for pleasant weather, and not warm enough for really cold weather. Also, I do not know if I am the type to wear one.

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Well, if paired with a warm woolen sweater, they sure beat the cold! Not to be worn during pleasant weather, no need for.
      Hugs,

  3. You both look so snazzy, Mariette! I'm glad that spring is here, and I can put the coats and hats away.
    Blessings!

  4. A beautiful woman and a handsome model ;-)) I get sick of the smell of leather, (takes a breath, and my face swells, itchy pimples). We can't have anything where there is leather. I also have to leave the room if someone has leather clothing on. A leather sofa also causes symptoms. Awkward, but fortunately leather products have not shown much.

      Never heard of such a severe reaction to leather... You could not live in our home then as we have a leather sofa.
      Hugs,

  8. Dear Mariette - I agree with Pieter, you suit that tweed newsboy cap, and especially so worn at that jaunty angle.

      Thank you and yes, it gives a more 'boyish' flair.

  9. Staat je leuk die pet en jas. In de jaren zeventig heb ik zo'n pet zelf gemaakt. Ik droeg toen ook een korte suede jas van mijn moeder en een heren overhemd van mijn vader. Ik heb wel een leren jas gehad, maar nu niet meer. Fijn dat je de winterspullen al weer op kunt ruimen. Ik wacht er hier nog even mee.
    Fijne dag, lieve groet Willy

    1. Beste Willy,
      Dank je en het is ook een heel zacht leren jas, draagt heerlijk. Nooit het patroon gehad voor zo'n pet maar dat kan inderdaad best zelf gemaakt. Heb nog drie leren jassen, deze lange, een heel zachte en dunne korte en nog een dikkere, die tot de heup reikt. Daar kun je heel dikke truien onder dragen omdat de armsgaten heel ruim zijn.
      Ja, van daag wordt het 32°C dus echt geen winterspullen meer nodig!
      Liefs,
      Mariette

      Thank you so much and Pieter really LOVES tweed.
      Oh yes, today it is 32°C so no need any more for winter garb!
      Congratulations with your bi-centennial celebration of Greek Independence!

      Mariette

  12. Our winter is so mild Mariette there isn't much need for coats. I have one coat in my wardrobe which I only wore once last year! Although they do look very smart I probably wouldn't choose real leather for a coat anyway ✨

    1. Dearest Grace,
      Our latitude differs only 0.5° with Perth so our winters are rather mild too.
      We have our winter outfits mostly for the traveling period, which of course now is minimal since we no longer are international consultants.
      For rare cases when we have the very cold arctic wind blowing south from Canada, we too are prepared...
      Hugs,
      Mariette
