I hope this isn't too harsh, Brownshoe, but you appear to be wearing some sort of maternity garment.

Umbrella for me too - just back from shopping trip. "This is Our Music" playing on the stereo and a nice cup of coffee in hand.
Blue/white 'Breton' top - Gap
'47 501's (worn too short, of course!)
Heavy brown leather belt with brass buckle (supermarket buy, I think?)
Ultra cheap plain white canvas daps
Blue cotton socks - M&S
Vintage 'Natural' colour London Fog windcheater
Tan/cream paisley silk scarf
Hair in desperate need of cut - getting so long now it would horrify you!

Suit day, needed to be aired, very dark brown wool twill slim-fit, an eleven Euro find from a while back at TK Maxx. Not TNSIL, but a pretty good workhorse. Very dark brown belt w. brass buckle.
blue/white mattress-ticking stripe Lands' End BD, the Press knockoff with third collar button and flap pocket.
dark burgundy thin ribbed wool socks and rather rustical Johnston and Murphy brown split-toe lace-ups
Madras-type checked shirt (giraffe collar, 3bd, short sleeves with slits on hems and 2 buttons, sewn back pleat and two back darts. Material is a light weight cotton woven in kinda two-tone effect. Colors are green, purple, mustard, blue, bronze); white linen pegged trousers; dark brown socks; Alden cordovan tassel loafers, red#8; natural Baracuta G9 (luckily it's getting a bit chiller, at least in the morning..)

kick-ass madras
Lovly shirt that it is
cheers for putting the pic up
Thanks to you mates for apreciation!
Actually that's my favourite casual shirt.
Today effort is on dust and earth's tones, maybe due to this very hot and long summer that dried up a bit everything around:
beige unlined 3 buttons boxy sportscoat; a 'burnt Siena' vintage polo shirt (basicly a reddish brown color); dark green hanky with cashmere prints; light brown/tan vintage Levi's sta prest in whipcord; oxblood weejuns, a real work horse in this period.
Salve Daniele
Magari preferiresti il nostro tempo inglese, tempo in cui si potrebbe gia`oggi il 1 settembre vestirsi in un cappotto e le stivale a mezza gamba. Certamente mi manca l'Italia ma forse il caldo a volte ristretta la vera espressione delle possibilita`dello stile Ivy League? Nonostante questo credo che io scelgerei la vita italiana invece della versione anglo-sassone. Auguri a te. Ti prego di continuare a lasciare le tue foto qui per darci ancora un senso della tua eleganza tipicamente italiana.
