Today I am wearing:

Herring Kendal mid-brown, pebble grain brogues (made by Loake)
English-made navy blue moleskin trousers which my dear Mother re-hemmed for me
Good old English-made HJ Hall dark brown softop socks
White with black and blue Tattersall check M & S shirt
Mid-grey knitted cotton sleeveless jumper (hand me down from Faither - too big for him!)
Olney 'Big Bond oversized, peaked flat cap in their 5017 sage green check pure new wool pattern

Cannot recommend the Olney cap highly enough. I've got a big old bonce and their 7 5/8" or 62cm size is absolute perfection whilst the cap has a good, heavyweight feel to it. Might not sound nice to some folks but it has now taken on the same scent as my Grandad's old Trilbys which I always used to try on as boy. Very reminiscent of the old gent and oft makes me think of him fondly. Gave me some great advice about life which I chose to ignore but now realise he was right and that it was borne of hard fought experience.

Need to get me some country or more informal style waistcoats - the one above is a real cracker!



And when going outside to walk the four legged beastie, I put my English-made but pretty cheap off ebay, brown wax gilet on.

I bought a camel colored hat with the intention of wearing it with my camel hair coat but I then balked at the matchy-matchiness of the look. But now seeing your effort has me reconsidering my reluctance.:)

Thank you for the nice compliments gents :eek:

countryclubjoe: The suit is a 1970s Adolfo suit. It has a four button vest and two patch pockets. The pants are cut pretty full with a slight flare at the bottom.

Oh yes, on my brothers graduation day. It was rather more pleasant strawboater weather. I had to make due with a derby. We just got another foot of snow...no summer suits for a while.
