Good pictures Tom, similar scene to you really as I cycle to work on the days when I'm just in the office and don't have to go and see anyone. A couple of years ago I managed to finagle an office for a colleague myself at a location about 4 miles from home which we refer to as The West London Satellite, thus removing us from the evil scrutiny of the real space cadets at the Death Star that is HQ. At this time of year I leave early and cycle to the satellite when it's still cool and I deploy Madras or Hawaiian short sleeves and popovers with Dickies shorts to ride in. I keep a pair of khakis and some mocs in my locker to change into on arrival and keep looking cool all day. Using the Dad's Style marker, we are 'street dads' on these days, I don't have children but that's irrelevant to this context.

On the regrettable days when we do have to go to the Death Star or deal with our customer base we are 'smart dads', immaculate in sober suits, pristine shirts, carefully chosen ties and footwear, outdressing everyone and maintaining the image of total professionalism.

BB - Love that jacket!

Woof - Always a class act my friend! The patch pockets are where it is at.

Tom - Digging #1 and #3.

/\  great sport coat Beebs, very close to a Brooks I got in May or June 1984 ... loved it, outgrew it, gave it away, excellent design and in my opinion also one of the best sport coats with jeans and it goes without saying charcoal tropical worsteds, just dark enough

excellent tropical day on the water, olive poplin walk shorts from a late great uberpreppy shop in Lauderdale, founded '63, went defunct circa 2015, light blue polo shirt with California collar, made in France, Scott Hawaii flips with brown nylon ribbon, Oakley shades from Italy, '60s racer style, great oblong semi-psychedelic shades, Oakley, who knew .... it's a brand that came up while I was still having old Ray-Bans endlessly repaired and brought back to life with new parts ...... glad they came to me though .....

Birdwells underneath it all but I didn't swim today, just stayed in the boat ... never get out of the boat
