A lovely old place I'm getting to know increasingly well!   Good call.

The cool of the marble counter is very soothing...

Have you tried the food out back?

Levi would love you & OTP. GG too.

The Last Of The Unknown Local Playboys:

black Weejuns
black/deep red/off white Burlington argyles
H&M raw denim 'Original' jeans, kids size with 3/4" turnup
old black belt with brass buckle
old white Van Heusen OCBD
Brooks navy sack blazer
'Gilligan's Island' style yachting cap (OK, that bit's a fib)

chunky brown storm-welted J&M split-toes, grass-green Falke sox
standby H&M 'Sliq' jeans, blue Brooks slim-fit OCBD
navy Smedley crew-neck, black Bush mac

Fresh crew cut

The 'Peters'
The Hartford
The Paul Stuart cashmere v-neck in maroon
The chocolate brown Bill's wide wale
Caramel coloured chukkas

This is a look that really doesn't work.  Haircut and basic shopping only.

Like Jim, this morning some Art Blakey has eased me into the day - the raucous "Free for All" in an attempt to clear my hung over state and block out my guilt for getting home at 8am after a night out. Anyway...
A suitably casual mode today:
old b/w stripe M&S t shirt
black merino V neck
501's
brown leather belt with brass buckle
Tretorn white canvas daps
Vintage Campus windcheater - black cotton

And slightly off the subject. Liked the look of these tab collar shirts today. No idea or where they're made or what they're like in the flesh:

I got a fresh new Ivy League college boy haircut as well... Tuesday afternoon... really crisp and clean...

   I used to have a more even crop (a la Steve McQueen in Bullitt or like Eric Clapton Yardbirds era) before and an even longer "French crop" earlier this year, kind of an all over crop, only slightly graded, with a Boston back, squared off straight at the nape, and rounded out.

   Now, it's more like a JFK or a Georgie Fame, not as short as a crew cut, but it's really short back an sides, with a Princeton back, faded, tapered into nothing . It's not as long on top as the typical Kennedy style, but it's longer than a standard military crew cut and more rounded, more civilian.

It's very smart and neat... conservative, but not square. I like it! I had a similar haircut last year, but it wasn't cut as good as this time...


Clothes, today very "Trad":

Brooksease blazer, white OCBD, red and navy regimental repp, Chino, black socks, black Florsheim Beefrolls... tie is loosened now, jacket is on the hanger!

yesterday night, binge drinking, a more "Mod"outfit:

blue with a small white stripe OCBD, stone Sta Press (the 90s straight cut denim version), brown leather belt, sand Desert Boots, and a brown Levi's corduroy jacket...
