Here's DF Jr. on location for "Gunga Din" (1939) in the Sierra Nevada, wearing the Coop tweed in what looks like a DB odd jacket with the collar up. The red bandanna worn ascot-style under a crewneck sweater is a nice touch:

Here's one of his colleagues on that production in an interesting brown check raglan-sleeved coat putting the under-lapel button to good use--a useful detail for country odd jackets as well:

Astonishingly good looking picture of DF2, and what a nice DB coat. The scale makes all the difference.

You have seen the tweed on the other gent before, haven’t you? Influence of David was pervasive.

^ You're right, of course. I thought it looked familiar.
