Shooey, that device would also be useful to allow iGents to ascertain the variations in different cloth merchants' birds-eye cloth.
Been out and about today. First hot day in 7 months (28) so l couldn't stand wearing a jacket (l was bad).
* Borrelli tan/white line pattered French Cuff shirt
* Vintage cuffs links
* tan Santoni FAM captoe balmoral shoos

Feeling real good today. When the sun shines in Australia, everyone is in party mood....always happens that way.
That is a very nice Dobsonian telescope, with a 30" mirror to boot! He must be one serious hobbyist.
I think the gentleman in the last picture may be wearing rubber soled shoes though..
White cotton team long-sleeve t
Diamond Gusset jeans
Joe Rocket Ballistic series jacket; red with black trim
old BMW system 2 helmet (grey with neon orange stripes)

Took the wife out on the old "flying brick" ('89 K100RS) for an autumn ride on a beautiful Canadian Thanksgiving day.

blue on white ground tattersal dress shirt
RTW charcoal herringbone tweed with brown/tan overchecks
navy tie with red, yellow, blue and grey diagonal stripes (unlike many of you I do not know the derivation of these combinations, so I cannot say if it is one of those regimental ties or not -- the stripes run down from right to left)
charcoal dress slacks; pleated and cuffed
black Alden plain toe bluchers
green wool cap
umbrella
Doing a friend a favour and meeting with his consulting group over lunch to answer questions about our operations
My navy cashmere suit with mixed pink/white chalk stripe, single breasted peak lapels with a dark pink or lilac butcher stripe shirt and a dark brown tie with red and pale blue dashes, black lace up oxfords with solid navy socks and a white silk pocket square with a blue geometric design...oh and my green frog cufflinks.
Today:
- light blue BB OCBD, because it was nearest
- mid-grey cashmere crew-neck, because I'm in the process of upgrading some of my rattier knitwear
- slouchy cotton twill odd jacket, ventless and undarted, used to be beige but now dyed navy with sand-coloured suede elbow patches and natural-coloured buttons and contrast stitching everywhere. My sad idea of fun.
- in the tradition of the purest guild of iGents, a pocket square - actually a Maitai tie which turned out a bit too long and wide for my taste. Pale green with a repeating pattern of little pussy-cats holding whips
- yesterday's H&M raw denim jeans
- Clarks sand suede desert boots to match my elbows
