moose, thanks! they look nice, with a price like that i might consider, with my ever-shitty finances and whatnot..

when buying shoes with u.s. sizing i've used the following rule: buy one or one and a half number up, when lace-ups, when loafers, buy your size or half number up ( i like my loafers a bit tight as they  always 'bend' a bit when in use). say, my uk size is 9, when i've bought some vintage us wingtips off tha 'bay for instance, i've gone for 10 or 10.5, if brogues are slightly too big (but not too much) i don't mind.

hope this messed up 'instruction' helps.

Great pics Heikki, your dog is ace!

Boss!

Gorgeous vintage tweed suit, Patrick.  What is the make?

Robert Hall made good suits in the 50s and 60s.  I have always wanted a tweed suit but I worry that as soon as I walk indoors the tweed pants will be way too hot. And scratchy.  Hot and scratchy.

Me, I'm looking like Adlai Stevenson today.
Blue Uni Stripe point collar shirt, pinned collar.
2 inch Navy and Red Repp, no label.
Custom Tailored Andover Shop grey sack suit, dated 28 May 1968, with awesome shoulders and lapels.
Beat up brown Dexter brogues.

Great pics and cool outfits in these last pages!
Please to "meet" you Heikki!:-)

Mine today is a pink bb 3bd, a vintage chocolate brown shetland sweater, short, halfway between a standard crewneck and a mock turtleneck (the neck actually rises a bit, like in those casual minets pictured in 'French Cut' essay). Tan Levi's cord staprest (a bit re-tailored), dark brown socks, cordovan loafers.
A boxy overcoat (navy blue, above the knee lenght), scarf, green nappa leather gloves with buckles, Persol 649 shades a-la..ok,you know who..;-)

patrick, you look great! the suit looks great on you. also, your 'don't mess with me' expression is ace.

i'll put some pics of mine's today later on, should i not fall asleep on me mac. (not the rain one but the laptop)

OK Paddy, where's the link to your scribblings? Can't search the cyberfori far and wide 'cause you're being coy, yet again, can we?

One hopes the lizardvolk in NW Conn appreciate your sartorial whimsy.

Ya need to whitewash the clapboards.

Ain't it about time for you to realize that lifelong ambition and go to a lot of expense and inconvenience to go Patagonian walkabout and throw some salmon back into the waters, sporting gent that you're. You might enjoy it more than a red Miata.

Ah, Robby Hall, I fastly outgrew those Sunday suits as a wee young'un. Would like to know if that jacket exhibits any hand stitches in the lining shoulder and arm seams? Also, is the collar felt attached to the body by what appear to be hand stitches? Even mid range suits used to have a smattering of hand sewing. Thank you in advance for your considerate response. I remain your humble servant, Haard.

Bit more hair and you'd have that young Mailer thing goin' for ya.
