After J.J.'s assasination attempt on my liver yesterday:

Old Pink Brooks OCBD. A tad worn.
Fruit of The Loom White T. Shirt. Pristine.
Bean Chinos: Flatfront, cuffed an agreeable trifle too short.
Brown Bass Boats: The salt stains are actually from snow not the sea. Snow stains much more than the sea does in my experience.
... I was sockless until I went out for the papers & now I've got some Dark Green Argyles on. By which I mean I put the socks on to go out in, not that I went out sockless and then put on the socks on my return home. I do hope that that's now clear...
Navy Peacoat & Shetland from when I went out both now discarded as is a Dark Grey Herringbone Ivy cap & lambswool scarf (Different sized Herringbones: Very small on the cap, medium on the scarf.)

The Church bells sounded more than usually reproachful to me this morning... I shall light a fire and sit by it reading Seek my Face. If I need to fart I will walk out into the garden like a gentleman...

Best -

Talented little fella our Ralphus. Great shot that.

Patrick,
There is much debate about the bow tie but in my opinion you silence it all.  You wear the bow as it should be worn, with solid, basic colors.  I only have a couple of bows but that's how I wear them.  Also that tweed suit is gorgeous.  Judging by the placement of the top buttonhole I would say it is from the late 1950s or early 60s.  Does it have a black or brown Brooks label?

Sunday afternoon, out to try winter tyres on the curvy hill roads:

Today, boring day at the office:
blue BB OC3BD, slim fit; snug old navy crew neck jumper (a bit torn); cord Levi's Sta-prest limited edition in tan (mid whale); burgundy socks with navy vertical stripes; burgundy bass weejuns pennies.
