?Smoking jacket? Oh hell no. I smoke buck ass naked! Gives a whole new sense of urgency to " @Chasing Embers " when accidents happen!!!!
Hahaha
. Not sure if you were using your quick witted humor or if I was just too unclear in my post. By “fit” I meant my style not my body. Lol!.gif)
I don’t have a smoking jacket yet but do plan to get one some time this year. Perhaps in a pattern that won’t show burns readily. Although maybe a smoking jacket should show some wear from smoking. Thoughts?
Speaking of The Fez...
Meet Nasser Abd El-Baset, one of the last traditional, hand-made (Tarboosh) Fez-Makers left in Cairo, in this amazing YouTube VIDEO
Nassar is from a multi-generational family of dedicated Fez-Makers - his son Muhammad (aka Young Nassar) - will be carrying on the family tradition of hand-crafting and shaping the finest fez in the middle east, AND, on 600 year-old brass molds and stove which which to work the felt in creating many different styles of the Fez - including the mold for the politically-charged specific Fez which was outlawed in the 1950s by the government.
This is THE REAL McCOY, hand-made, woven straw lined interior form, hand-sewn tassel, Turkish-Ottoman Fez and not some Halloween Adventure costume nonsense from China.
It looks like you can order from Nassar for $99 USD delivered on Etsy, under the store: CleopatraEgypt.

You are protecting a T shirt?
Did you not see the 2 included reference pictures from Dr No ?
Here is a 3rd picture, in case you missed the other two - Sherm "20-20" Natman
"Hello... Yes, America's Best Eyeglass and Lens?... Yes, I'd like to make an appointment with your Optometrist.... No, no, the appointment is not for me... I'm calling for a friend... Well, it seems he can't make-out the numbers on the phone dial, so I have to dial for him... Yes.... His name? .... Berg... J.P. Berg..."

The jacket does not protect. I provide it a raison d'etre.
I
would love one but I am too picky about hats and need to try on for fit. guess i need to book a trip to Cairo!
I'm going to get my grandpa's smoking jacket. Pretty excited to see it. He told me he switched to a pipe while in the marines because guys kept bumming cigarettes from him.
My wife bought me a smoking jacket that I enjoy wearing now and then, though usually my smoking time is short enough, I don't get dressed for the occasion. I'm too busy getting the pipe and tobacco picked, packed and lit. So usually it's more a buffalo plaid shirt or jacket. The smoking jacket has a sort of Japanese floral print on a dark blue background, nineteen-thirties suave. I tend to do a Cary Grant imitation while wearing it.
I often wear Dressing gowns while smoking indoors .mostly by mornings and late evenings.
Damn!
I like that idea.
A smoking jacket and an ascot for smoking my morning pipe on the deck of our camper.

Alfred: What is it, Sir?
Bruce: It seems that Codger of Crusty Comedy, @jpmcwjr , has struck once again... this time on the Pipes Magazine Forum... posting a ridiculous lampooning photo designed to confound and constipate his fashion arch-rival, Millionaire Socialite Bruce Wayne... BUT, what he doesn't know is that 'Batman' took a plaster impression from the bite-marks found on this damaged over-sized tobacco-colored Chess Pawn, which likely will match one of the files in the Bat-Computers vast storehouse of DNA & Dental Records... The poor Nicotine deluded creature, was likely desperate to feed his habit while competing in last week's Gotham City Charity Chess Championship - a NON-SMOKING EVENT!!! - giving us the proof we need to have him incarcerated, where he might receive the rehabilitation he desperately needs, with the hopes of becoming an active and up-standing member of society, once again.
Alfred: Oh my... And, what of his warped sense regarding proper men's attire, Sir?
Bruce: We can't look for miracles, Alfred... THAT would require the intervention of a higher-power, I''m afraid.
Alfred: ::: shakes head in dismay :::
