Glen plaid jacket, khaki button-collar shirt, blue jeans, brown leather belt, tan socks, blue and bone saddle oxfords with red rubber soles, one of my Broner Lite Felts, and a blue ascot which was a Yule time gift from my dear friend MarkL.

I suppose it's my self-imposed responsibility to applaud you on the blue ascot. It works well with the rest of the outfit. :eusa_clap

I really must say that these last few pages have been most impressive. I really am awed by how wonderful all of you look!!

I must say Slim Portly, I don't believe I have ever made comment on your outfits, but goodness you do dress well. (I really am interested in your homemade cuff links.)

And I too, would love to go to the exact spot in Paddy's pictures.

Very enjoyable everyone!

those trousers are really cool... are there any resources that would be recommended in finding a pair? i saw some other pictures of you with these (or ones like them)... do i see a button on the ankle, can it be tightened to hold onto the leg as well as worn loose?

i like your style!

I got mine on ebay, and they show up there fairly regularly.
They have buttons and straps to tighten the bottoms. Or you can wear them normal. They have very wide, straight legs.

Nice suit, Bugsy, it looks to fit you well. The trousers are great and is the material flecky?

I own a Kingsridge suit from the same era with that "custom fabric" tag. What material is your suit is made of? I'm assuming the "custom fabric" was just a sales ploy unless it was a special blend of some kind.

Thunder, indeed the "custom fabric" tag might well have been a ploy. I wouldn't even venture a guess. The tag on the other breast pocket says "imported fabric". Your guess is as good as mine. Thank you for the compliment.
