Stuff I still occasionally keep a look-out for:

Dunlop Green Flash in white/navy
Slim-cut heavier weight khakis on the cheap, also the same cut in grey flannel
madras s/s shirt in small...
beige bucket hat

Right now, as summer's a-comin' in: 3btn, narrow-lapelled, tan-colored, 100% linen sportcoat.  5/16" lapped seams and hook vent, too, while we're dreaming.

Got my bucket hat sorted.
Sometimes, dear readers, life gives you a detour. Just when you think you got lost, you're there.

When I bought my Shaggy Dog late last year I thought 'what the heck' and had them throw in a reversible bucket hat. Beige twill/brown herringbone. Expensive mistake. It turned out to be too dressy, too big and it made me look like Inspector Gadget.  It must be somewhere in that pile now, the pile that says "Ebay Powerseller Status here I come".

So I woke up one Saturday with the ideal bucket in my head and the luminous plan to go and try fishing gear shops. Forgot all about it, and went doing the regular rounds instead. Charity shops. Went through the racks of the first one, no luck, and I was just about to leave when something made me stay and go through the accessory bins. And there it was. 3 euros. Beige cotton, crumply, size 58, narrow brims, pockets with metal zips on the sides exactly like the one I had in mind, the one I had as a kid.
