Nothing fancy actually; Bertl Work Boots (made from 3-4mm thick leather, indestructible), some cheapo blue jeans, some cheapo brown belt, one thick woolen sweater, my 30+ years old Langlitz Cascade.

Assuming it's whats in our wardrobe now...As I'd want a compromise between riding gear and comfort for off the bike, my list would be as follows.

Boots: Sidi - "Canyon"
Jeans: Dainese - D1 Kevlar jeans
Belt: Langlitz
Shirt: 100% - Shibuya Long-sleeve Barstow t-shirt.
Jacket/Coat: Aero - 1930s HB

Does this mean that my hats must go, my trenchcoats, my socks, aloha shirts and all my accoutrements? Neck ties, bow ties, cravats, cufflinks, dress buttons, tie pins, the lot?
Then it would have to be a dress shirt, with a bit of elastic to keep the cuffs together, a black bow tie, an ivory tux matched to black, wide bottomed dress trousers and two tone, black and white patent leather shoes. No socks of course, better make sure that the pants hang a tad lower.
Minimalism doesn't have to compromise standards.

Fortunately for my bank account, I have almost zero interest in jeans, belts, footwear and shirts. The jacket I would choose is the hardest part.
