The general assumption is that it was from the Andover Shop, as that was where Miles famously shopped when he was into ivy. Impossible to confirm I suspect.

I expect Frosty bumped into Miles frequently in the changing room.  Probably gave out a few tips on how to improve his technique.

There's a nice photograph of a young Miles, looking quite contented with life, in 'The Hip'.  I expect the sourness only set in after he'd made all that money.

Nor having (presumably) to mingle with 'rock stars': the fate of a certain number of jazz and blues players, no?

Just getting back to Miles' green shirt (which probably has a thread of its own dating back fifteen or so years for all I know) I don't think the colour should be dismissed lightly but simply reserved for a particular time of year (in England between, say, Easter and mid-August, give or take a week or two on either side).  The younger (or slender) man might wear it with great pleasure teamed simply with white Levis.  You ask TRS what he thinks.  Cola or snuff coloured desert boots perhaps.  Or the colour of loafers Yuca tends to favour.

This is a lesser seen shot from the Milestones sessions we found when doing the NatIL exhibition. Looks like it was shot in a bedroom

Agree, it's not as easy colour to carry off - had a few green oxfords but those pale ones don't work on me.

I think if this had been a colour image it would have been a great cover
