Conor, I have a hard time imagining that your tie will thank you in the morning for being thus pricked.

Probably not. I purposely chose a tie I don't wear often (or at all to my knowledge).

Mmm, sensible. Jacket looks nice, though.
I don't recall seeing the truck before, Patrick. It lends a nice touch of Yankee authenticity.
Three on the tree. 1983 F100. Straight six 302. Just got it back from the garage, so it's happy. Needs a new windshield though, and it's living at the newspaper parking lot until I get it re-registered.
I think "Three On the Tree and Twin Vents" could be an Ivy slogan.
Not a van, a but pick-up truck it. Gotta say driving one makes one feel - er - very manly. A mate of mine used to own a 1982 Chevy Blazer and driving it was a kick-ass experience, compared to the smallish european cars i normally used to drive. I was a Fiat Uno owner back then lol

I enjoy hopping out of that bomb in full regalia. Surface rust is a great complementary color.
brown shit kicker boots
cotton socks
wool socks
thermal underwear
heavy, baggy jeans
long sleeve white t-shirt
white ocbd
thick, grey wool fisherman's sweater
black watch scarf
brown knit, brimmed knit cap
duffle coat
I'm still cold
..................it is all of 16 degrees fahrenheit here, topping out at roughly 30 this afternoon.......WAY TOO COLD
I hate this weather, after growing up in alabama I have never gotten acclimated to these winters.
This is me wanting to move to California

Ah, but Patrick is a Vermonter, Kingstonian. Things are different there. Even if they weren't, Patrick is not the usual tailor's dummy who parades himself on the fora. He's a genuine personality. I find the truck wonderfully consistent with the Patrick Methods. I very much doubt any other forumite could, if you will forgive the expression, rock that truck.
No, Kelp. We're firmly in the 21st century, post-squishy-sensitive era. Catch up, Old Top.

Next time Patrick wears a suit with his pickup, i'd love it if he would wear a trucker cap, not just a usual baseball cap, but a big high fronted redneck truckers cap.
l also love the American word "pickup", that's such a cool word for a truck. . We call `em `oversized utes' over here.
Blokes in soots drivin' yoots......l wanna be that guy one day.

Put me down as a fan of Blokedom too. To be a bloke is my version of being a mensch.
Here's to proper blokes in proper shoos.

^ Look at the style of the building. This snap is from 1914. The building itself is 1904... So these shoes were never handsewn in little half-timbered thatched cotteges after all? Blimey!
lt's been a beautiful day and everyone is in great spirits in the lead-up to summer holidays.
