Brothers in Falke! I wear no others!
Where do you buy your Falke socks?
Here in England, a shop called Brigdens', in Derby. It's one of those long-established menswear shops now enamoured of RL, Hilfiger and Gant, so I only buy their socks. They used to sell Pantherella but stopped, thank heaven. Falke are about £10 a pair there; others on here have spoken of them being available at TKMaxx - but not around here.
RL lt blue OCBD.

Khakis (Mabitex, shhhhhh).

An American-made Kelly Green polo shirt in very soft brushed cotton. Not a colour I would usually favour but it came from Dennis, so... Also the Bean jeans with the rip in the right knee my other half keeps promising to mend.

Hank, I'm glad you're seeing some wear out of that. At least it had a nice smell to it.
^ I disagree - he looks pretty spot on to me. Also Shooey, I suspect that the irony pixie has neglected to sprinkle his magic dust on you re. Luftvier's avatar. I may of course be wrong..........
Today, inspired by talk of Les Minets I'll be sporting

The rather fuddy-duddy looking chap in my bank likes all this kind of stuff. You just can't judge a book by its cover, can you?
The fact that you dress in such a way and like Thrash Metal scares me to the core.
I think a lot of very straight laced looking people are into very black metal. They also tend to be into automatic weapons and just snap one day, bursting into there place of work and spraying bullets everywhere. When questioned about it later they may or may not cite the terrible lighting in there office as the reason for the massacre.
"How ironic.." they would say "that he had little emblems on his tie depicting the scales of justice."
Like the OCBD Luftvier, looks like a nice weight to the cotton.
RPR, Six Days On The Road is a great track....
The sound track to a Scandinavian church burning. I will never forget my friend saying after his divorce, '' I really got into listening to Black Metal after she left, it was really cathartic.'' Scared me shitless, I've refused to move in with him when he offered the spare room for rent.
