"Recipe for TNSIL with SA, Fall Look #1

Opt for more trim cut cords, perhaps even Brooks corduroy jeans. Combine with gingham check button-down, perhaps a solid knit tie, chocolate suede penny loafers, and a oh-so-soft natural shouldered tweed sports coat. An all cotton white t-shirt should lie underneath, to catch the heat, with oxford cloth boxers and a bit of Extract of Limes."

I wouldn't have called this gingham, but they call it a "country club gingham with overcheck"... Dunno, at least no sheep, I am not a fan of the fleece emblem on the breast with some of their sport shirts...it's not a horse, but...




....off topic, an English spread collar, thing, OK, but not very expensive, and also nice quality:

off topic, OK, a slimfit Sherman, but after the short sleeves discussion:

You can cover up the logo by wearing a sweater vest...




There is so many Gingham out there! Sometimes you can also find nice stuff at C&A in Germany, or TK Maxxx in the UK, or in any other high street retail store...

What are your faves?
