1 x Uniqlo wine check fleece shirt @$29,
1 x Heat Tech turtle neck undershirt @$19

1 x Military type Navy jacket Cotton washable - 4 flap pockets on front@ $59 or so
Ordered online - delivered - from Sydney in 2 days - free post over $50. I took a few things back to store for return and to get chinos hemmed for free. Its all good. Chinos are ok - got some coating on outside to keep out wind and a bit furry on inside, medium rise and look OK . Jacket is just what I want smart ish casual, washable, not too heavy for warmer weather, button down flap pockets for traveling. The collar folds down well to create lapels that come down to the third button down - and look much like an ordinary cotton sport coat - if an ordinary cotton sport coat had 4 flap button down pockets! Fits under my rain jacket/hoodie well as a layer.
I had to wipe a tear from my eye with the turtle neck - took me back to the Good Old Days of skivvys - so much so I've ordered another one.
