A swell bunch of Internet Tough Guys you are...
C'mon, duke it out like those Goliaths at Style Forum.

There's a thin line between off the shoe and the half-mast Fun Boy Three look. It must be done just right.
Gieves & Hawkes use to be able to succeed in doing this successfully in the UK. There's a men's store here in Holland called Oger, they always go slightly too high off the shoe and if there's any kind of shrinkage when you wash the chinos you're in trouble. And that's their signature look.

Re: Highwaters
Possibly not in the 1960s. But we were told full-fat milk was good for us once upon a time, remember? As others have commented, age might come into it. And height? If I were twenty one and around six feet, I might consider it. At fifty one and of (very) average height, I think perhaps not. Besides, a glimpse of 80/20 or bare ankle is not the same as displaying around six or eight inches of creamy, hairy flesh.

Re: Highwaters
The water analogies are interesting. I hate 'the puddle'. Worse still, though, is the way hems are allowed to drag on the ground, becoming wet, soiled and ragged in the process. Entire nations, I'm sure, can be judged on the way their people present themselves. The English... No wonder we're on our collective knees.

Re: Highwaters
The passing of time has mellowed the poster, allowed him to examine Mr. G in the flesh and changed his mind about a good many things. I had bought an ancient sharkskin suit - a highly unwise investment as it turned out - and had become instantly horrified at the appearance of it. The break was highly unacceptable. I ended up binning the trews and flogging the jacket to someone on Ebay. Well, there we are. The error of my ways.

The devil, as someone once said, is in the detail. The double line of stitching. The locker loop. Just about three quarters of an inch of interesting sock. The London Modernist circa 1960, melting into the background at Ronnie Scotts. Fruit Of The Loom boxer shorts. You have to flip your tackle out of the side. A pinch of nutmeg in spaghetti sauce.
