^ Well nice.
I'm in jeans and cashmere again, crew on crew style. White Beefy T and heathered grey Uniqlo cashmere. Reversible tan/brown G9, 1947 501s, brown Sanders PB chukkas. Hangover by Stolichnaya. Outgrown 8/4/2 that's starting to curl.
^the last time i drank vodka it was 'russkij standart' and the hangover hellish. (clobber sounds great btw)
mine:
navy gingham bd
charcoal lambswool crewneck
beige chinos
charcoal socks
burgundy weejuns (the first time after winter!!)
raglan sleeved tweed overcoat (still too cold for harringtons or macs)
multi striped college-ish scarf
a fresh-ish college boy haircut
Ive gotten so used to the black silk knits that I might never go back. Practically everything I own co-ordinates with a black tie anyhow.
All of the vintage sacks from Brooks I own have that roll. As you say, its makes for such a better looking lapel. Shame they dont make them that way anymore. But truth be told the lapel roll is just one of many things wrong with Brooks offering these days.
A 'tipped' lapel was an old term for this. Not sure how common the term is/was. A very nice look anyway.
oxblood bass weejuns (sockless)
up-turned '67 Levi's
Ralph Lauren custom fit bd
yellow patterned tootal cravat
algi-coloured crew neck
Moose - I like the whale tie. As those across the pond might say "spout on"
Looking smart Mr Shoo, as does Tom Rath in the suit on the previous page.
Today:
Red,White and Green check DNA Groove button doen shirt,
Black belt,
NEW: Black taliored hipsters (with big belt loops and frog pockets)

Blackbasket weavers
I will try and post a pic later
