I sell to loads of chaps your age macabee, and I have to say, for all they spend, they don't have a patch on you. Great stuff
Jesmond's back in town!
The jacket does not look like Keydge, the shirt does not look like Press. Did you check the labels DJFM?
The Keydge is an old stock Linen Ivy 3/2 cut job. I tried it on in JS before Paul did & ummmed & ahhhed over it. Paul got in there & bought it first. The shoulder hasn't quite 'settled' yet although it is completely unlined. Interestingly it is a longer body length than the current Keydge crop.
The BD is a J. Press flap pocket job - US made & pretty much brand new. Has manufacture now gone back to the US from Canada? Paul picked it up in NYC when I intro'd him to David Wilder. Still a very constructed collar coming from J. Press I see... Or maybe it was old stock pre-Canada....
I did get his strides wrong though - Deadstock Haggar from JS which he then had tailored.
How good it is to talk about clothes - Thank you for the chance.
Best -
'orrible day - not hot not cold just sweaty.
VTG Bean madras
M&S - cotton cashmere mix v neck - grey (great value at 20 odd quid)
Brown Brooks Hudson Cords - Tailored to within an inch of their life.
Jack Purcell - New Hi-tops.
I went with:
A White Hanes T.
Navy Cotton Keydge.
Levis.
Camp Mocs.
A strange out-of-focus smile completed the look.
Spotted one of those too Adam, and a lush green one, making my wallet itch for sure!!!
Loving that look, simple and effortless.
Today i'm wearing...
RL madras b/d
Shrink to fit 501 - so much bigger and higher than all my other denim!
Pink socks
Weaver moccasins in dark brown
Wax Albam mac and navy sweat for a little more insulation on the scoot, though it has warmed up a lot since this morning.

Ahoy there Richard B....They come up pretty big..weird sizing apparently - Made in Spain but just a "10" on mine..no mention of a bit of continental there?
Historically I've been a US 11/10.5 on Bass, Florsheim, Lormoc/Sebago so a UK10.5/10 and the Paraboot's seem on a par with a US 11 at least..
Got mine from JS but I've seen them in Fifth Avenue Shoes, just along Goodge St in Town so wonder if they have more info with theirs?
http://fifthavenueshoerepairs.com/
For those of you not familiar with this place they have a decent range of shoes as well as being a very decent repair outlet...
Their current Paraboot loafers are also cheaper than JS at the mo by a fair few notes...
I'd say they're quite a classy item Sir...I've not even been arsed to remove their little green label as yet either...
