Cuff-links are nice, though a slight faff. I own a pair worn by my grandfather. I don't remember my grandfathers ever being seen tieless. My favourite, Billy, was a barber. He wore elastic-sided suede boots like Frank Marker. Also those metal things to hold up his shirt sleeves. He was dapper.
Brooks do a damn fine point collar shirt with double cuffs if you need the 'USA-made' thing. The old fop in me loves cufflinks.
It was far too warm today for T-shirt, shirt and jacket but I always wear a jacket to work, not for the style, but for my keys, my mobile, for my fags (that is ciggies for you... I do not carry miniature benders in my pockets...) and all my favourite things
Russell Street is said to be a miniature bender.
Boring, Orvis tattersall sport shirt, LE chinos, LE desert boots, Leatherman cotton belt (blue/khaki stripe). Enjoying another unseasonably warm day and planning to play hooky and go fishing in a bit. Like I'm getting anything done anyway.
Autumn is here.

^ Good name, welcome.
My APCs had been on hold for the last couple of years but I recently rediscovered them. "New Standard". They're alright aren't they.

They're the best in my opinion... my 5th pair.
Albam ones come a close second.
Whereas I prefer the fit of Albams on me.
So today, wearing Albam Japanese slim fit with 1' turnup
Snuff Sanders playboys
Purple L&S roll neck
Vintage Hardy Amies Hepworths worstead 3 button jacket
Nice work Repp! Did you get the undarted version from the same tailors?
How do you like the one button, Repp? I have this strange desire to own a one-button undarted sport coat. Ivy details, the same cut as that Eliot Richardson picture I posted earlier, probably some type of winter fabric.
