    Summer style...how do you keep it when the heat kicks up?

    No worries, let's not let shorts come between us! And to try to salvage this thread and put it back on track, allow me to share my most obnoxious shorts-wearing episode that I did impose on everyone who say me on that day; from the ground up: boat shoes, patch madras shorts, Lacoste hunter...

    Summer style...how do you keep it when the heat kicks up?

    Bushman, If you read my posts you'll see that I stated that shorts have their place, pools, backyards, beach etc. To clarify, I am speaking of the people around here, and there are many, who only wear pants, even now, and it's ten degrees out! And the people I see in restaurants, nice public...

    Summer style...how do you keep it when the heat kicks up?

    Really??? Wow, you have a low threshold of abuse. I'll leave your comment up because I think it fairly well speaks for itself. From this point onward though, anymore self-indulgence will be moderated away. BTW, American soldiers wear paints.

    Summer style...how do you keep it when the heat kicks up?

    Actually, Buddy, you were the only one to heap abuse in this thread. Others, including me, were stating opinion, but you were the one to go ad hominem by calling people who do not wear shorts "fools." BTW, as I moderate, this forum the only comments I usually delete are those that attack people...

    Summer style...how do you keep it when the heat kicks up?

    Shorts at a resort, shorts at the pool, shorts on the tennis court, shorts at the beach, but around town and at my age, I don't think so. It's not a good look. No one wants to see these legs. There are plenty of wonderfully light cotton pants that are sophisticated and stylish. That extra bit...

    Juan Trippe would not be pleased.

    Summer style...how do you keep it when the heat kicks up?

    When in doubt, go prep. Nantucket Reds, light cotton shirt, and blue blazer is always stylish. Add Panama and you really make a statement. I think that it's undignified for a man of my age to wear shorts anywhere but at a barbecue or the beach. A pair of tailored chinos, white shirt...

    Bogartian is a good word. Brilliant neologism.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thank you, kindly. Thank you! Jessen did a nice job with it. It is a wonderful shop. I hope to see you over there one day.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Today I'm wearing a ski hat because I have almost 3 feet of snow to clear, but yesterday I wore my Salmagundi custom stingy that Jessen made for me and I belated picked up 4 months later. It's a very nice fur felt and stood up to the early part of the storm. I am not used to stingy brims, but I...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Broadchurch, Series 2. Wonderful how they manage to sustain the tension.

    Tell Me This Isn't Normal

    It's not right. Modern Stetsons are all over the place on quality and it's always on the finishing details. I went through a stack at Salmagundi in JP here in Boston over the weekend and saw all sorts of inconsistencies. As sad as the quality control issues are, I was still impressed with how...

    American Pickers/Mike Wolfe's Leather Jackets

    Everyone knows that it's not a real show though, right? The company, the situations, it was created for television. The jacket is probably one of the few real things on it.

    Thanks, Buddy! I'll raise a glass to you.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    A friend gave me a 750 ml bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label yesterday. The bottle is numbered. I cannot wait to dig in, but I am also a bit hesitant. It's in a custom case. I don't want to disturb it, but I will...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I mentioned hotel correspondence stationery. I was just at Frontenac and thought that they would have it, but no. I did find some on eBay.
