Reading Tim's post, I can't help but get the image of Steve Martin in The Man With Two Brains. ''mmmmm......that breeze feels good!''

As children we used to sing: My one skin lies over my two skin...
My two skin lies over my three...

You can guess - or invent - the rest.

During the week: olive green O’Connell’s harrington type jacket, red old RL polo, wheat Levis 615 jeans, Asics trainers, red Ebbett’s Field ball cap, AO sunglasses.

Strolled around Pangbourne which used to be a bustling little town on the Thames, Now very affluent and boasts, a Coop, artisan butcher, an opticians, a healthfood shop, 2 charity shops (checked with a negative result), a Bentley/Lamborghini dealership, numerous estate agents and a Big Issue seller.

Took solace in a pint of Windsor and Eton Guardsman, sitting outside a pub on the river, was glad of the jacket.

This a.m. - a simple combination of a white Brooks shirt, pink cashmere v-neck and 501s with Nicholas Deakin boots.

'Hunt Club' long-sleeve Madras shirt
USA-made 501s
Yellow Argyle socks
Dexter b.r. loafers

I changed my mind at the last minute yesterday, exchanging the 'Hunt Club' Madras for a pale yellow Brooks button-down and the chunky cardigan for the Corbin Madras jacket I bought some months ago. 
Visited the Co-Op in Tuxford for rum, wine and chocolates as Sunday lunchtime gifts.
Nary an eyelid was batted.
Must be well acquainted with Richard and Bruce.

Cloudy but warm when the sun shines (not very often up here).  I dressed plain as a pikestaff.  USA-made Brooks blue OCBD, high rise, plain-front, cuffed L.L.Bean chinos (remind me a little of Sta-Prest though not as 'structured'), 'unremarkable socks' (charcoal, possibly Pantherella), Florsheim Imperial PTBS. 
Bought another biography of Charlie Parker and one on Leonard Bernstein and a Bud Powell CD before repairing to an eaterie for pastrami with Emmental, gherkin and mustard triple-decker sandwiches.

I'm in fishing mode these days. My cousin and his wife are in town from the West Coast. He asked if I wear anything that isn't khaki-colored. I said "Sometimes I get daring and mix in a little olive drab."

Nearly 100 degrees here.

Arrow Cum Laude Blue OCBD
Lands End Super T
White Levi 501's

It's a nice lightweight blend, doesn't add much weight and keeps the sun off.

McLochlan chunky, USA-made, cable-knit cardigan (football buttons)
L.L.Bean, USA-made flannel check shirt
USA-made 501s
Rust-coloured Falke socks
Astorflex desert boots

Trooping of the Colour on TV, then off to just North of Heathrow to watch the Jubilee flypast come over. Loafing in the garden this afternoon with Chet Baker.
Navy Lacoste polo, Madras pattern Brooks linen shorts, Royal blue Asics Gel Lytes, Ebbets Fiield ballcap with polar bear logo, Union Jack pin badge.

Typical of Derbyshire, June 4th could be October or February.  I'm wearing a Viyella shirt with too stiff a (modest spread) collar with my old navy Brooks cashmere v-neck. 
I had to put my beaten-up old Sebago jacket yesterday to walk in.  The wind was blowing hard.
I finally got a minute to myself in the afternoon and listened to 'Everybody Digs Bill Evans' followed by 'Monk's Music'.  Who's that shouting 'Col-trane...  Col-trane...?'  Would it have been Coleman Hawkins?
