Today I'm sporting a gray herringbone tweed, patch pocketed, #1 sack suit from the halcyon days of Brooks Brothers. These suits went unmolested by the vagaries of fashion for decades, so I have no idea when it was made, other than that it is pre 1980s.
Hmm....Have you tried Mexican Huarache sandals? I wear those with linen trousers with side tabs, or with linen trousers with a matching slim line leather belt, or rope/canvas with leather front belt and a teal or salmon colored linen T shirt on particularly hot days when I have to be at my in-laws' house (they are not big believers in AC.....UGH). Topped with a panama hat. Are the sandals vintage inspired, or just regular ones?Usually not worn outside. But when, together with my usual black lightweight-hikingboots or my less-used beige summer-sandals.
Nice hat!.

Hmm. Haven't heard of those before. Right, right. Just call me Torquemada; the Grand Inquisitor (of Clothing)! Have a great one Sir!Regular beige velours-leather ones, from 2006. A brand named "Montrex".
I CANNOT Love This enough! Awesome clothes Sir! Have you considered cream twill slacks with that? Awesome!View attachment 76355
Linen gingham check coat, blue linen trews, poplin cotton button tab collar, silk 5 fold tie, silk hand rolled pocket square, Panama top
A mirror shot, I take it? I love the lapels on that suit Sir! Can't make out the tie, so I can't honestly comment. You need a pocket kerchief or scarf. I'd love to be able to see the cuff-links though! Dang. Hat? Did you keep stays in the collar?Sorry for the bad quality...
Grey pinstripe peak lapel-single breasted suit in summery wool, white poplin shirt with double cuffs, blue/black/silver tie from 60s and sterling cufflinks.
Thank you mate. Yes indeed but lack the twill slacks and have flannel ones which are usually just too hot to wear with linen caots. I am gettign a linen pair due soon so will no doubt rock these in the futureI CANNOT Love This enough! Awesome clothes Sir! Have you considered cream twill slacks with that? Awesome!
Today; ivory twill Vintage RL high rise wide legged trousers with cuffs, double inverted pleats, and side tabs, pale blue spear-point collar shirt D&G in poplin, bone white chunky Summer socks, russet and ivory spectator wing-tips with blucher lacing, silver jewelry usual; and sapphire and white gold pinkie ring, ivory and cadet blue and almond-brown and dark cream plaid tweedy sport-coat but super soft, with a rusty-wine over-window-pane (Vintage RL), and wine colored silk pocket scarf with a puff and single point, no tie, usual Dobbs Jet 707. Unfortunately I realized about half-way to work, that I'd lost so much weight since I bought the shirt last Summer that it doesn't fit as well as it used to......Drat and a Total Drag. Meh. We might get out of the office early today!
Yes, the picture was taken with the laptop's webcam, which has a very low resolution. Plus, office lights are making that worse.A mirror shot, I take it? I love the lapels on that suit Sir!

I've been meaning for a long time to get myself a pair of Mexican-made huarache shoes. Closed front, possibly laced, and car tire soles.Hmm....Have you tried Mexican Huarache sandals?

Ah thanks! Heh. They are some of my Favorite Trousers, along with this other pair that I have in creamy bone linen with 1/25" cuffs, double pleats, and a Super fresh feel (but I need to add a stiffener to the inside of the cuffs, as they flap around a bit despite the relative high weight (but low density) of the trousers.....LOVE white and cream pants! The second pair are particularly interesting as they have a 3.5" broad belt loop at the back. I guess I never have to worry about my belt riding up my back over my trousers in the heat.....I still need to find my perfect braided bone belt with proper russet leather and brass fixtures for the fastening. It's amazing how hard it is to find such a previously common thing.....Love the sound of those trousers - why do you not add pictures to your descriptions, would make it so much more fun!
Keep them comming on the less!
