    Looking For Wide Leg Jeans

    It's funny how the higher-waist, 1930's or '40's styles affect you. Ever since I got my Three Pines jeans from Tweedydon, which I wear daily around the house and still haven't washed, my other jeans (mostly Gustins standard fit) seem somewhat restrictive and low at the waist. I especially love...

    Nice from the back, but there's something Fritz Langian about those pockets.

    My guilty secret...

    Friday night at 3:30am I was standing in front of the living room mirror wearing my LHB, my new gray flannels, a Fair Isle vest, my new Loake Bedales, and an Akubra FedIV when my son and his girlfriend crashed through the front door. "Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right,...."

    My Blue Heaven

    I think the hat being sported by Wilde in the two portraits, and the one being worn by Ezra Pound, is as close as you'll get.

    My Blue Heaven

    Great catch! This is an incredibly important painting in a number of ways, but most importantly it shows the "naturalness" of the subject: the sombrero-type hat (to ward off the intense rays of the Italian sun), the homespun cloth of the robe, the flat heels of the shoes, etc. Such an outfit...

    My Blue Heaven

    I don't think it was a case of one vs. the other. Whitman was extremely popular with the Symbolistes and the Avant-garde (see R.L.Stevenson's essay on him for an idea of the nature and extent of that popularity). Wilde went out of his way during his first American speaking tour to visit Whitman...

    My Blue Heaven

    I mentioned some pages earlier that Joyce, in Ulysses, has his character Stephen thinking about how he had simply had to have a "Left Bank hat" when he was a student in Paris (I think it's in the Proteus chapter). This would have been around 1900.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Sorry, but I meant to ask you how you weathered the storm. Most people have no idea how horrible these things can be. I hope you and yours came out okay.

    I got a pair of these recently, and they've quickly become my no-socks, go-to shoes. Great slipons. Good luck with the sale.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Same here, but we're all watching that monster called "Irma" that looks to be barreling right down at us. Trouble never ends.

    Got blocked by Simmons Bilt Instagram because my comment

    I was going to mention that I'm heading up to the Jersey shore tomorrow, but, um, I think I'll just let well enough alone. BTW, I just finished a fantastic book, written in 1918 or so, that was more or less based on Capri. It's called "Southwind", by Norman Douglas. Now I'm dying to go there.

    Great people as well. I was there with my wife a few years back and we were both impressed with the intelligence and basic decency of the folks we met. Nothing wrong with the Netherlands, either.
