Andover 'Blazer Grey' Shetland - I think that's what they used to call this shade. It's Oxford Grey pretty much.
'Marsh Brown' Cord Chinos from Bean.
Sebago Caymans in Cordo coloured cow skin. Similar belt in Steerhide.
Dark Green Argyles, Burlington.

... And today's shirt comes from J. Press with a button-down collar and chest pocket flap. It is made out of Blue Oxford cloth. No T. today.

Best -

Thanks for the compliments, guys. What would it take for you to post your pictures, Jim? I'm dying to see how your outfits are actually put together.

Not quite.

What brand are those loafers?

^ A very nice Autumnal rig, Mike.

I'm more or less wearing yesterday's clothes today. Is that allowed?

I was in the shower at 5 this morning. I tell ya I work like a dog.

Don't think I'll risk this shirt for 3 days in a row though... There are limits to my slobdom.

I like that quote by Cheever's daughter about how his shoes might be down at heel or his sweaters out at the elbow and that was fine because he believed that men didn't bother about such things, but he wouldn't go a day without shaving because that would just be sloppy.

Words to that effect anyway.

Getting quite sunny here now.

I shall go and chop wood. Pork Pie is at Art Club after school today so I can do what I want after that. Mrs Street is off shopping and if I wasn't blaring out music in here then the house would be deliciously quiet with only the ticking of the mantle clock to break the calm of the afternoon. I hope Mrs Street remembers my Lamb chops for tonight. She never will make a proper list. Chops and mash with a few peas - A meal I've loved since I could first chew...

End of blog entry.
