The arrival of spring continues to gladden hearts hereabouts.

Geoffrey Beene olive minicheck SB 2B ventless three-piece suit
Charles Tyrwhitt pink-with-light-blue-windowpane spread collar French cuff shirt
Tommy Hilfiger navy/gold patterned tie
Navy polka-dotted silk pocket square, puff fold
Red mini-carnation, right lapel
Navy braces
Vintage glass cufflinks in black and white cloud pattern
Large silver pocket watch, left vest pocket, with silver chain clipped to vest, next to top button
Polished stainless steel link bracelet (left wrist)
Calvin Klein Truth cologne
Olive/maroon interwoven OTC socks
AE Pembroke tan split-toe tassel mocs
Vintage Dobbs grey tweed fedora with marching band, buckle
Vintage Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses

I was told I look like one of the Blues Brothers today. Yesterday, in the seersucker jacket, I was told I looked like a Southern plantation owner; earlier in the month, like an FBI agent. I ring different bells on different days.

Today, I'm wearing a charcoal grey double-breasted suit (I don't know the labels), a white button-down oxford, a pair of black Florsheim oxfords(highly polished), black belt, and a black and grey patterned tie. Watch is my Tissot. Wedding ring. Right now, I'm also wearing my black robe on top (jacket off), but that's an occupational hazard.

Today is my tribute to the businessmen of Dallas -- or at least the ones of the 1980s, when I often saw outfits of this kind. Probably Mark from Plano can tell me I'm living in the past, but I kind of know that. :)

Navy pinstripe SB 2B single-vent suit (two shades of stripe)
White-on-white spread collar French cuff shirt
Tommy Hilfiger maroon/light blue/gold patterned te with horizontal banding
Vintage roadrunner tie clip (wish I had a pic, he's adorable, and Western!)
Maroon silk pocket square, point up
Vintage large round gold "Salt Water Fly Rodders of America" cufflinks (another nod to the West)
Medium brown leather dress belt
Lorus watch with tan band (right wrist)
Polished stainless steel link bracelet (left wrist)
Armani Mania cologne
Navy ribbed OTC socks
Vintage cream garters (since these socks are getting a little slouchy)
Lucchese 3000 light brown dress cowboy boots
Tan straw cowboy hat with multi-colored band, feather (very nice hat, had it for years)

It's a pretty manly look, if I do say so myself.

Your Royal Highness - any good source for boaters? Mine was borrowed around ten years ago, and it's getting to the point where I don't feel like asking for it back...

Lucky Strike--

You might try hats-plus.com. I've got a couple of other sources, as well, but I'm afraid that all are on the U.S. side of the pond.

I should take this opportunity, too, (as I'm not a frequent poster) to give you major accolades for your posted pics. Your sense of style inspires without fail.

I was feeling very Vivienne Westwood today at work. I wore this with my Edwardian jacket, of course.

Hat -- vintage, antique co-op.
Top -- a gift, from a German lingerie shop.
Bustle -- Andrea Odicini, Buffalo Exchange (!!!).
Capris -- belonged to my mother.
Shoes -- Kung Fu shop. They now have holes worn over my big toes, but I refuse to buy another pair, since they're made in China. I think I need some TOMS.

I got some shoes identical to those (as far as I can tell from the picture) from Urban Outfitters a few years ago.

Lovely day here in Wisconsin, although for some reason the Middle American-ness of Middle America has got me down today. Of course that could partly be because I live in Appleton, Wisconsin, which is practically an epicenter of that Middle American quality. It's a nice, affordable city in the nice, affordable Northeast Wisconsin region, but there are times I feel out of whack with my surroundings -- single in the land of the coupled, childless in the land of the prolific (really, four kids around here is nothing), intellectual in the land of...well, the non-intellectual, gay in the land of the straight, summer-lover in the land of long winters, etc., etc. (Of course, I'm largely out of whack with my era, too, and I know that.)

All that said, I've lived all over America, and I don't know of a better place to live in America: the bigger cities have certainly priced themselves out of my market. I rather think my next move is going to take me away from the United States, permanently, to spend the second half of my life elsewhere. Puerto Vallarta, perhaps? (a city I just love). I turn 50 in August and I'm thinking about such things.

On to the outfit...

Aquascutum navy SB 2B double-vent blazer (recent Ebay purchase; lovely jacket)
Asher gray windowpane cuffed wool trousers (also a new acquisition, from the closing store The Haberdasher in Green Bay)
Polo white button-down, open neck, crisp white tee underneath
Vintage Japanese silk pocket square in white, blue, and gold, marked "1933," points up (very delicate piece)
Black genuine crocodile belt with gold buckle
Swiss Army watch with black band (right wrist)
Polished stainless steel link bracelet (left wrist)
Dark grey non-ribbed OTC socks
Black genuine crocodile tassel loafers
Vintage Churchill dark grey fedora with black band, "Churchill" pin
