Gloverall back on, together with Ralph Lauren Black Watch (lovely and thick; maybe better than L.L.Bean), the Russell Athletic sweat/popover, a recently acquired pair of USA-made 501s (with what TRS might describe as a 'rockabilly' cuff), newly wiped-off Converse.  Geriatric college student vibe. 
Very misty in the valley.

Nice to see you posting, Kennedy.

Oops it’s all gone quiet on here.

Navy blue Aquascutum single breast fly front raincoat.
Grey tweed Hardy & Johnson jacket over dark blue twill Kamakura button down.
Harry Stedman guards stripe surcingle belt
Hertling stone colour cords with cuffs
Dark brown suede Paraboot split toes

The rain it raineth.  No walk today.

Listening to 'Blue Train'.

Black Bean cardigan with many holes in it, Black Watch Ralph Lauren shirt, black Wranglers.

Woofboxer is kind to credit it me with this look, but I stole it from (most likely) Anthony Perkins.  Not directly but by filtering.  Happens all the time. 
Last time I was in Windsor - circa 1968 - my father photographed Yehudi Menuhin stepping out of his car by the castle.

Seen (yesterday) morning: two people in nightwear, including one in flip-flops (a woman, walking her dog along the A6, a very busy road).  I was wrapped up and still feeling the cold.

USA-made Red River denim button-down
Navy Braemar golf sweater
No-name chinos

Dowdy off-duty golfer look, ideal for reading S.J.Perelman's Letters.  Singapore, he said, was one of the two places in the world where Americans were popular - the second being America.

Tan Gloverall
St.Edmund's College scarf
Brooks Makers - red and green check ('Christmassy' my wife said.  Hmmm).
Russell Athletic
Dark USA-made 501s
Hiking socks
Jack Purcell (insufficient bounce for pounding the streets).

AFS-What you were wearing yesterday was almost identical to something I would have worn in winter 72/73.
The Gloverall would have been green, the scarf, Leeds University, so green,white and maroon, the shirt one of my mates cast offs, not Brooks but US made,faded Lee or Levi maybe bootleg, thick wool socks, Jack Purcell look alikes or sand desert boots or ,god forbid, blue Swedish clogs.

I always liked the colour combination of the Leeds scarf. I once had a stripped shirt in the same colours, which was a favourite of mine.

Just come in from my morning walk.  Seen: chap about the size of a small elephant, waddling and wheezing along, wearing a Lambretta Northern Soul hoodie.  Poor Northern Soul, suffering indignity upon indignity since the days of Nosmo King and Wigan's Chosen Few. 
I put on the Bronte waxed jacket, with all that padding.  Makes it warm as a duffle coat.  Are they 'Ivy League'?  Barbour seem to be appreciated by some of our American friends but, as with the classic trench-coat, Burberrys' or otherwise, Ivy heads are divided.  Neither find much favour with our Gibson.  Anyway, I teamed it with a thick Woolrich shirt and a Russell Athletic quarter-zip and my favourite faded-down 501s.  All USA-made (at least on the face of it).  And Converse.

Exercising my bus pass, dropping off a couple of items for alteration by my Latvian sewing lady. JS khaki moleskin trousers, Lands End chambray BD, Lord Jeff navy blue crew neck shetland, Pataboots, Aquascutum navy blue raincoat, Blue and white Tootal. Wishing to remain low key on one of the more challenging neighbourhoods in our area in case the locals think I’m from the Social.
