It's 430am, and I'm sitting on my porch drinking an ice cold beer[emoji4][emoji111] Its a bit windy, so I'm sportin' a warm button shirt, along with a Lost Worlds hh leather vest (nothing fancy).
Today: black with faint shadow stripes suit (a semi-MTM made for me in early 2000s, trousers still fit!), white poplin shirt with double cuffs, pale red with dark geometric design tie by RL. Silvertone metal cufflinks, silver tie bar.
The pictures were taken half a hour ago, just back home from work; that explains the messy loook of the handkerchief in the pocket.
Pendleton woolovercoat(thrifted last month, the thing is just shy of being bullet proof - it is heavy with a tight weave and a wonderful old-school feel as in, "we make warmth the old-fashioned way...with thick wool")
Ryder & Aimes wool scarf (cool UK company - lots of options - nice heavy feel to it)
O'Connell's Shetland (worth every penny - and it took me a long time to finally pull the trigger, but now I have two - they are that good)
Brooks BrothersOCBD (the new one - overall good, but only worth it on a sub $100 sale, which is how I got mine right after it came out)
Old Navy off-white 5-pocket Jeans (look white in the pics, but they really are off white / winter white - bit of a West Coast Ivy vibe)
Sperry for J.Crew Boot (has become my winter go-to boot when the weather doesn't call for the LL Bean classics to come out)
Mirror - 1928 Van Wart & Wein (the building architects) which is the first two pictures are "foggy -" it's the only full length mirror in the apartment
Yesterday. Steel-blue suit (very very very cheap), white shirt with double cuffs, goldtone cufflinks and tie bar, old tie from the 80s. The first picture is not very good quality; sorry but they were taken indoors, with artificial lights at evening and with a mobile phone camera!
Yesterday's effort: Defore, tie and scarf are vintage.
Not one that wears dark shirts and tie (last time was maybe 20 yrs ago - I still have the picture to crunge at) but thought I'd give the brown shades of the shirt and the POW check jacket with the mustard tie combo a try.
Thanks - I am very very far from NErja which is on the bottom part of Spain, whilst I am in Catalunya, way up high towards France. Cold and miserable here
