Looks effortless too Moose. Never an easy thing when dressing smarter these days.
Welcome, Riley Dee!
I'm beginning to lust after a pair of saddle bucks myself...
And that's the way to wear them too!
Welcome from me also, RD.

Welcome Riley Dee.
Is it Ivy?
Some might frown at your pant length and say most definitely not. They'd have a point. Then again, would Banana Republic, Ralphy, Gap and J Crew have been possible without Ivy?
Khakis, button downs, "smart casual" - it's all part of The Continuum.

Nobody likes those shoes, do they?
Out on the town for meeting today.
Espresso Lambskin padded Baracuta G9 9 - first outing for that
Church's Ryder crepe sole desert boots in darkest green made for japan
Lee Japan vintage chambray workshirt
Fruit of Loom heavy white T
Cottonwood Dockers K-1 (not the 40s model but the recent US only ones that I picked up online via a US friend and one of the step mums carried home in luggage at xmas. Incidentally first ever Dockers for me and the 'on seam' pockets proper seams and hook an eye closing is great, the material heavy duty 3 ply- only thing is I bought ivy length short and they were dead straight leg so stuck out like one of the guys from Dumb and Dumber so tapered the legs from 18.5 to 17 making all the difference - worth checking them out if they have any left)
Nice to be out and about instead working at home, too.
^The new Dockers, are a vast improvement than the old shite. You do, as Weejun has, have to make a few adjustments, one of them is do get rid of the Dockers labels, but they are okay. Never could get hold of the non-crease ones outside of the US.
Nice one Weejun, I will have a digsy in the Hague Dockers shop towards the weekend. The K-1's must be the pants Dockers were boasting about on their website back in '98 when they said they were going to reintroduce an original, authentic 1940's khaki.
Its a shame you can't get the non-crease ones outside the US, that for me is critical factor when it comes to wearing chino type khakis to work.
