In a cooler climate I could learn to love that flight jacket. Although I am not sure I could ever bring myself to wear an ascot with it, That just seems a bit too costumey. The orange 'quarter zip' is also appealing.

The trousers are so bright, sunglasses are recommended, but the rest of the rig is rather pleasing to the eye.

The farthest tips of those lapels are actually touching -- or maybe even going past -- the seams at the sleeveheads! That is about the widest lapel width I have seen -- probably 5-plus inches?

It is a trout fishing jacket. You may keep any fish longer than your lapel is wide.

I completely agree. In fact, I want to try hookless fly fishing, the "take" being my favorite moment and test of skills.

Given that, I think he should have worn one of those amazing fishing vests with about 200 tiny pockets all over...

Belated confirmation that the young Ralph pictured is circa 1968-70. I'm not sure who produced the clothing he is wearing; perhaps it was by Roland Meledandri, who would die some years later at the untimely age of just 51. The age of Ralph in that photo is maybe 30-ish.
