Yet another day off work. Oh, what to do with all this free time...?
Another barbecue tonite

Dunlop Green Flash (actually white leather, and the 'flash' is more burgundy, but they have the right look about them I think)
Black/dark red/off white argyles (Burlington, since Uncle Russ is always going on about these)
Shit-brown cord jeans
Grey sweatshirt with writing on it over grey marl T-shirt
Natural-coloured Harrington

Chocolate brown leather coat, camel hair lining, from Sulka
Blue checked shirt, Riva cloth, from Mimmo Siviglia
Beige quarter-zip cashmere sweater from Davide Cenci
Carhartt 1889 blue jeans
Chocolate brown Weston Demi-chasse shoes

A rare suit day for me today: Brooks Makers Olive Poplin Sack. Probably the suit I've worn more than any other in my long and wonderful life (I always shift into Tweeds & Cords the first chance I get when the weather gets grim).

Perfect Brooks mid-1980's natural shoudlers. 3/2 roll. Swelled edge to the (then correct) 3.5" lapels. Patch & flap with upper welt. Flat fronts with the old Brooks high rise. 1.5" Cuffs.
It's a suit which no longer exists & due to its age it has a wonderful peachy 'nap' to the cotton on the elbows & seat.

Worn with an old USA through-&-through Brooks Blue/White Candy Stripe OCBD.
Canterbury Cordo coloured Steerhide, Brass buckle belt.
Navy Royce cotton socks.
Cordovan Fairmount Penny Loafers.

No tie. But one in my pocket if I change my mind (A perfect Burgundy J. Press Silk Knit).

Lunch out with a client.

The suit looks like this but in Olive:

Dark brown penny loafers, no socks, tobacco poplin suit trousers, black polo shirt.
G9 on top for the walk to work.

For various reasons, I had to look suitably subdued at work today. Still trying to keep it cool and summery in the 75° that passes for a heatwave round here.

Dunlop Green Flash (white leather with burgundy trim) - fast becoming a summer staple. Like on the Jack Purcell, the "smile" on the toe appeals to me.

No socks.

Faded C&A khakis, stained from gardening...

Old cracked brown belt with brass buckle, pinched from Dad 25 years ago.

Blue and pink gingham BD (all this talk of gingham recently!)

G9 on top (for better or for worse, I now find myself reaching for the Harrington wherever I would have otherwise worn a blazer or sports jacket). I must keep my eyes open for a couple more of these in other colours.
