No, no.  It's pretty mild up here.  Trip to Aldi (forgot the gnocchi), then to our favourite chippie, then onto a plant nursery to buy winter bedding plants.  Back home now in threadbare Bean cardigan, USA-made Baggie denim shirt, beater black Wranglers, German socks.

Not sockless today.  Royal blue John Smedley.

Never bothered with 'Peaky Blinders' but the Stetson cap JS fitted me for at Russell Street (his own fair hands) is the only hat I now own, having experimented without success. 
A trip out means experiencing at close quarters the visual illiteracy of the English male (in Ripley, so Woof won't be surprised): shorts, three-quarter length trousers (sometimes GI Joe fashion), hooded sweat-tops clinging to massive beer bellies, even flip-flops.  Appalling but, in a way, nothing new.

Walkover made in USA red sole chukka boots (TKMaxx) Sand
5 pocket dark green Lee cords
Ralph OCBD in pistachio? green made in Canada circa 1993 (after AFS posting reminded me)
Burgundy Anderson belt
Uniqlo boxers
Uniqlo light down jacket in olive (non Ivy maybe but it's cold out there)
Gordon dress tartan made in Scotland scarf
grey herringbone flat cap
And I still ended up looking like an East end barrow boy!
( I started with the footwear because for me that is the most important part of an Ivy wardrobe)

Kind of blue.

Navy Pendleton cardigan bought around 2007/8 - holding up well.
Navy USA-made Ralph Lauren polo (having the booster this afternoon, so the short sleeves will help)
USA-import 501s
Mostly charcoal but with a hint of rust and cream Falke socks
Will probably offset the blue with some grubby olive
Shoes? Maybe the dark khaki Astorflex

I'll be in Guildford on Saturday, and I'll probably lose count of badly the dressed and men in shorts/cargo's.

Also on "getting jabbed" duties so Goodwear tee, dark olive cords and a down jacket bought in the M&S sale maybe three years ago (worn for just the 2nd time) but seeing down jackets mentioned on here thought why not... Pantherella socks, whisky Astorflex and Laurence Odie watch cap. Toasty.

Dark brown cord RL blazer (with about 200 inside pockets for some reason)
Grey wool roll neck
Lee 101z
Grey wool socks
Brown leather Clarks db’s

Chocolate brown Clarks DBs
Dark Olive US style khakis Dockers K-1- original sizing not altered
White T shirt
Dark green long sleeved polo- Uniqlo
Olive light down jacket
Definitely too much green going on. I looked ex- military as I strolled along towards the ex army base Shoeburyness

HaHa. I know. I even did a double take when I looked in the mirror. I forgot to mention the green tartan check scarf. I've been going through a blue and burgundy period and I fancied a change. I went a bit overboard when I found all the green stuff sitting in the wardrobe. I'll try to do better today.

Grassroots footy duty today so a bit of a mishmash...
Brown speckled Laurence Odie watch cap
