You can see that Bernie is wearing checked button up under it.
Don looks very GQ in the pea coat and scarf. Glenn looks very 70's hot and a little bad... Randy looks cute, but like his mom told him to make sure he buttoned all of his buttons up and wrap up his "muffler"..."you'll catch your death of a cold"!
I really like this photo. I like the early publicity shots that looked more natural and not so styled. When I looked back at the photos from concert advertisements from the concerts I attended, I could really see the change. The ad for the 1975 concert that was supposed to take place in April had the guys just standing together. Glenn is smiling, with his arms crossed. Glenn and Don are wearing plaid shirts, Randy and Don F are wearing jackets over shirts and Bernie is wearing a tee. By the time the concert was rescheduled for August, the photo accompanying the ad was the very stylized one with Glenn's long beautiful hair. The one that everyone around here says looks like a shampoo ad. And while I think the guys all look great in it, it's way too "glamour shots" for me.
