Jacket, to and from work, and often in the morning. And sometimes at night in the house. And occasionally in bed. ;)

Boots I wear every day. Then comes the jacket, when its cool. After that, the hat. Though I generally try not to wear the hat and jacket together.

The form does not allow me to post my response ("invalid"), but my response is Mk VII. Although I also wear a hat daily, it is not always my brown fedora (I like Akubra's Heritage Fawn more). But I always have my bag with me.

Jacket.

How about a couple of third-grade jokes?

'Take your hat and jacket off'

With 3.5 years of nearly daily wear, including 3 seasons of archaeological excavations in Israel, my Adventurebilt Crystal Skull is definitely in the category of "wear most often."

It's almost scary to read "3.5 years of nearly daily wear" in connection with a Crystal Skull hat! :o Meaning... has it really been that long?

Yeah, it is hard to believe it's already been that long! :shock: Yet a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, too. Or as Indy might say in this case, "It's the years and the mileage." :lol:

My hat goes on my noggin pretty much year 'round. In cooler weather it's joined by the jacket. Recently I've started carrying my bag to work on a daily basis as it's pretty useful for carrying stuff (Whoda thunk?) like my Ipod, Kindle, Excedrin, snacks, and NO! It's not my man purse!

My Aldens, then my mk vii bag. Now that it's getting cooler (somewhat, I'm in Texas ;) ) I'll be breaking out the jacket soon.

And I JUST (Riding the TRE back to my car as we speak) picked up my RotLA from Peter Brothers so I'll start wearing it frequently as well.

Weather permitting, I've always worn my jacket the most, and then my Alden boots, which are the next most practical item of gear. The whole ensemble is mainly reserved for photo ops and the odd convention. Still, they're the nicest (and most fashionable!) clothes I own. :D

I've never ever been able to vote for some reason.

Either way. My mrk VII receives the most use. It fits my ipad and moleskin notebook perfectly, along with various other things, wallet, pens, etc.

I guess I'm the odd duck, I picked the shirt! I try to wear the boots and the hat when I can, but I would have to say that the shirt gets some wear regularly more than the others...
