Made me laugh—Hugh Look found this fabulous jacket on eBay. Perfect for the digital black-and-white photographer who has everything.

(P.S. Hugh says the jacket really is as pictured, it's not a spoof; he didn't Photoshop the picture.)

A tad conservative next to some of the outfits I've seen in San Francisco...

So where's the TOP version for us TOPies?
Maybe prints aren't all you can sell here.

Can't help but ask if this is a Quiksilver ski/boarding jacket? :)

Amanda,
Very good! Yes, I'm told it's a "Quiksilver Mathieu Crepel Snowboard Jacket."

I have the nerve to wear it. But, where are the pockets for lenses, filters, lens caps and the like?

Looks like you're running a little M.

Well it may not be quite as noticeable as the jacket,...... But I have the hat!

Douglas,
Hugh sent me this one:

Apparently it's discontinued now. (I actually went to the Quiksilver site and checked...see what I do for my readers? [g])
