Fitting into the family

Somewhere, there is a photo of Dad and I in our matching red and black plaid wool jackets at Christmas. They look like this but red:

Although last year, Dad did not wear his wool pants as much, we usually look like twins when we head off into the woods. It’s our hunting uniform.
