Jacket Weather in Brooklyn

Winter has (finally!) come to New York, and this morning I brought my reproduction 1950s Brewers jacket out of the recesses of my closet.

I've written about this jacket before; it was sold by Ebbets Field Flannels in the 1990s. It's based on this jacket modeled by right-handed pitcher Virgil Jester, who played for Milwaukee in 1951 and part of 1952 before being called up to the Boston Braves.

Great to represent the Brews on the wild streets of Brooklyn.
