We got kinky there alright me and the missus but I don't think we're ready for the suffocation part yet, sir.
That was last week, now back in the drizzly Netherlands wearing the slack jacket pictured (bought in Nice) with a blue Brooks oxford, jeans and sand Clarks.

1966 - J.Keydge! Everything is pretty damn near perfect about those jackets except their choice of buttons and their button spacing (much too close together for Ivy). Otherwise they're marvellous. J.Simons has racks of them. Buy them now before they close down. 020 7379 7353.

I've got two, the dark green cord and the tan cotton/linen; both from J.Simons. I'd love to match the cord jacket with cords of precisely the same colour. Oh, I know an actual suit would be better, but it's just a thought.
This one's 100% hemp, in a greenish beige. The price tag said 295 euro, so I asked if it was going on sale. They gave me 20% off.
GG's right about the buttons though, they're OK but I might replace them as the middle one's hanging by one thread already. Wonderful jackets though. I have a navy linen one as well.

Ponyboy. I have a beautiful cord suit but I always feel a bit odd about wearing it, just a bit too much I think. I feel like I should presenting a Open University physics programme.
I think the cotton and linen Keydges in Simons are round about the £125 mark.

^ Do not look like any Prince of Wales I have seen - but full marks for getting a pair of trousers the right width to show the shoes in all their glory.
Trahseez are difficult and you have tracked down/commissioned a good pair.
Daniele - deve essere una posa da 'L'avventura' oppure 'Il Deserto Rosso' di Antonioni. Vabbe`....stupenda veramente. Complimenti. Vado all'Umbria la settimana prossima - non vedo l'ora!
