today, quite cold (strange as normally mid july to eatrly august is the hottest here)
merino
a white / pale yellow / sand bd shirt (barbour), choc brown v neck (zara), sand or rather light beige slim-cut sta-prest-esque strides (very cheap off a local high street retailer, surprisingly good though!), black belt, black / gray argyle socks, black plain heavy-ish soled lace-ups (barkers), dark red baracuta

would have done better with brown / burgundy shoes + socks with shades of brown + yellow perhaps but i bloody wanted to wear these black heavy barkers! (would have done better w/ - say - burgundy weejuns or my chestnut brown thin-soled italian lace-ups but i really wanted to wear heavy-soled shoes as there still is a bit of tension about town after the local footy teams clashed last monday and heavy shoes might come in handy should any trouble occur - only joking lol)

Casual day today.  Reds and a white OCBD.  Ribbon belt and penny loafers sans socks.  Navy DB blazer with brass buttons ostentatiously left open.

Prince Albert is fine! And don't forget to shave the balls... chicks don't dig the hairy teabag thing! And if the missus doesn't like you spending time with/ in gym, get another one! she must be a fake platinum blonde, big airbags and a tramp stamp...

BTW, Prince Albert, we use the same expression in Germany... I always wondered where that comes from... Any ideas?

Slouchy:

Pink Brooks OCBD.
Grey Russell Athletic (no logo) Sweat. (Jesmond reminded me about these yesterday)
Bills M2s.
Grey Burlington Argyles.
Wine Weejuns.

Navy G9 for outside.

Black Tassel Weejuns.
Red Burligtons.
LL Bean Vintage wash jeans, half inch turn ups.
Plain black belt.
Blue Flap-pocket OCBD. Press.
Hanes White T.
Natural G4.

Autumnal again so yesterday's clobber with a fresh shirt & socks!

Blue Press Flap-pocket OCBD. Pre-Canada.
Plain charcoal socks. M&S!

I think the Press sack is 1990, but may be 1989 stock. Too lazy to check the old catalogues looking for clues. Then again back then you could get the same stuff year after year much more than you can now, not that the new more seasonal collections aren't a welcome change...  Ramble...

not very ivy today..

a white cut-away collar shirt w/ burgundy/pink/pale grey/grey/cobalt/navy/lilac/dark navy stripes (paul smith), grey o neck merino top (no name off a high street retailer), black belt, dark denim jeans w/ 3/4" turn-ups, gray/black/burgundy argyle socks, black doc marten shoes (rainy as f--k in the morning), beige short mac (loro piana), a black umbrella.

Jason> would never have guessed they were PS, not really my thing but never mind about that because *you* will look great in them, esp when wearing that outfit you describe.....do like the colour still.....best,
