Cheers bb, the second pic is just a piss take really! Although I'd do the jacket jeans and mocs probably with darker plaid shirt...and a jeep cherokee

The Great Digestion continues... I'm still visiting my family in the Frozen North... The last couple days have seen some OCBDs and sport coats but today I'm wearing:

Ragg wool socks
Sorel slippers
LL Bean red union suit
Kellsport made in USA heavyweight sweatpants
Old LL Bean chamois shirt with healthy spattering of paint
LL Bean chamois robe
Reversible bobble hat from Cusco, Peru with alpacas on it

Local night out with Mrs Woof:

Hardy & Johnson grey herringbone sack jacket, Harvard Coop uni stripe maroon and white, Good wear T under, Edwin jeans, Church's cordo PTBs. On top for the walk home- M65 combat jacket, Stetson tweed newsboy cap, Tootal scarf.

I've been gifted a load of old vintage american clip ons, and I'm trying to decide which to wear to the the Christmas works party....I think although I like the above look, the blackwatch with the midnight blue needle cord sports jacket is going to be the one I go for.... 👍

^Amen to that. Seriously though, top notch stuff from you today, Berk. Wigwams are a nice touch to give the rig a collegiate look. Is that croc strap on your wrist too?

most of today:

mint vtg. '60s Mavest half-lined 3/2 patch-pocket hopsack navy blazer, union-made in USA, two on the sleeve center hook vent, excellent green foulard lining with burgundy and gold medallion print

to paraphrase our old pals the Doors and Jim M., "the Mavest is the best, the Mavest is the best, get here and we'll do the rest"

the rest:

Brooks Brother Makers white ocbd, USA;
O'Connell's medium-gray tropical worsted trousers, flat-front, 1.6" cuffs, USA;
Leather Man of Essex navy cotton webbing/ribbon/leather C-buckle belt, Maine, USA;
gray Brooks Brothers merino wool socks, England; 
dark navy square-end 2¼" knit tie with thin, widely spaced kelly-green stripes, 70% wool, 15% mohair, 15% alpaca, England, '80s, from legendary local hardcore Ivy/preppy/trad shop, now defunct
medium-brown Alden leisure handsewn penny loafers, Massachusetts, USA, early '00s.

now:

nice Alpinestars graphic t-shirt, either last year or early this year, white with purple/gold/yellow, washed and softened to perfection   

thick navy cotton Incontinence pants basketball shorts with zip pockets

hard to find a nice all-cotton Incontinence pants anything these days, besides an ever-shrinking number of t-shirts .... 

started gardening barefoot and stopped myself, now trying to decide whether to put on old destroyed Chucks or to destroy a pair of Red Wings, or to just relax and leave it alone and

I'm going with chilling out and having a cup of tea
