^ They look, alike but are, Barker.

>Kingstonian: Actually the PoW pattern on those trousers is very muted, in a shade of brown/purple visible 'in flesh' only within 2 meters or so, and normally goes unnoticed in photos.
Btw, I think we've met kinda 5 years ago in London at the Shotgun do. Possible?

>Gibson Gardens: Spot on, 'L'Avventura' maybe?

When i saw that unlined cotton jacket years ago at a small shop, it reminded me of those italian/french 50s movies, in wich it was tipically matched by a white shirt and a dark tie..and shades.

Ancora complimenti per il tuo italiano, enjoy your holidays in Umbria, it's lovely in the early summer!

> Brownshoe: smart and clean look indeed.

>Moose: I dig thas madras coat

>1966: slack jackets like yours are all the rage this season in Italy, very 'Portofino style'. Cool!!

Ivy? maybe, that was the look i was trying to going for

OK, as a long time lurker, it's about time I introduced myself and thought this was as good as thread as any. From UK and ivy inspired rather than purist, hope to post often but doubt it. Must say this is the most entertaining forum on the net, glad to know you!
Anyway on topic
Red harrington
Short sleeve seersucker red white and blue buttondown over white T
Chinos
Red Socks
Tan suede laceup Boots

Welcome to the fray. I would love to see the S/S seersucker shirt. Sounds pretty interesting.

I would really like to find a few more Short sleeve shirts, seersucker or otherwise, that have more interesting stripes while still retaining subdued colors. I had always hated short sleeve BDs but have become a recent convert.
