Wowzer.

Alan, I would have sent a reply earlier, but I drooled on my keyboard and had to dry it off.:eusa_doh: Nice find. Now let's see what special outfit you're going to put it with.

Inspired by the Summer issue of Classic Style, I went out and picked me up a pair of Allen Edmonds. This is the Ramsey.

The self argyle/diamond pattern seems vintage-y to me.


Dooney & Bourke braces from thrift:

Alan C, you can't go wrong with Alden. IMO the finest of American cobblers. AE cannot hold a candle to Alden. There is no comparison. I've never had a pair of American shoes that were better wearing, more comfortable or well made than my Aldens.

It's unfortunate that their selection in NYC is so much more limited, otherwise I would've gone with them instead of AE last month.

New hats!!

These two hats were lucky finds from the infamous Cheap Jack's in NYC...for actually relatively cheap, too. $35 and $65 respectively.

Here's a Dobbs Twenty that I picked up on eBay a few weeks ago- the brim is a little wide for my face, but I'm sure there's a suit with really wide shoulders that I can wear it with.

I picked up this sweater at the Polo RL store inside of Bergdorf Goodman, one of the best men's stores in Manhattan. They were having a summer clearance sale, and lo and behold, they had a linen/silk/cotton fairisle sweater that fit me suprisingly well, with higher armholes than most of the other Polo sweaters I've tried on.

I picked up the polka dotted blue tie, something I've wanted since I've seen it paired with everything in Apparel Arts. The striped tie on the right was a vintage store in Manhattan that I picked up with Sen. Jack, Feraud, and MrBern after lunch last week.

I picked this great wool shirt jacket up yesterday fro $1.50 at a local thrift shop:

It's from a local high end men's shop and made by 'Nigel's Soft', which I've never heard of.
 
At the local charity shop on Walthamstow High Street the other day i found 5 30s ties shown here. there was also a 50s tie that i didn't photograph, but i did pick it up. These ones are all wool except for the blue woven silk one at the extreme right of this photo. I really like the grey check w/ blue overcheck on the left . . .
