A trip to John's with my Brother today amongst other things:

Olive Poplin Sack 3/2 (Top of a suit) with those Charcoal year-round wool flat-fronts again. They just spring back after each wear!
Candy stripe Blue/White OCBD. Brooks.
Fairmount Cordo Pennys & Charcoal sox.
J. Press woven Cordo coloured belt.

Trying to stalk Richmond Hill & Chris_H we went to John's, Kranz & up to Sicilain Avenue in search of the secret Shetland store (now closed). Never the kind to feel disappointed for long we headed for The Ivy House and quickly learned how iced Vodka was man's best fiend...

All was well in John's & Kranz & The Ivy House. Then we went to the Inns of Court to look for Playboys (the shoes), but just met a mate of my Bro's & got a cab back to the Criterion for lunch.

I mention all of this only to make it clear that my name is Russell Street: IPimp and Ivy fan.

Roll on London!

Jim.

Hi everybody,
for me today it's short sleeves mid-80s Ben Sherman (lilac-yellow-lime-green checks, quite small 3 button down collar); pale grey parallel slacks in woolen fresco (medium-high waist, vertical pockets, same style as early Levi's sta-prest); brown leather belt, burgundy socks, oxblood weejuns.
Baracuta G-9 in natural, traditional fit; Rayban "Caravan" shades.
A French beret in the pocket, just in case it rains...
Longer than usual haircut, kinda "Smoothie" thing..
Nice day to ya all.
