A rather rainy day here:
Blue Brooks OCBD, full cut.
Navy Cotton Cableknit Crew, Landsend.
Mid-Brown Herringbone 3/2 Tweed Sack, J. Press. But not the modern J. Press, the real J. Press...
'Heritage' flatfront Khakis from LL Bean. 1.5" Turn ups.
Grey/Grey/Grey Burlington Argyles.
Cordo coloured Rockport full-strap Pennies with Rubber soles.
Fawn London Fog Mac. Black Brolly from Smith's.
... Working towards one of those Brooksian haircuts from the old catalogues - You know those guys with their glasses perched on the end of their nose wearing cardigans & BDs with 'Odd Trousers'?
'Mawicke' captured them best. IMO.
It's almost the old Cavalry Officer's cut, but given a US twist. In the UK the hair would be flatter.
