Beautiful collection of colors, textures and patterns but an unbuttoned OCBD? Really?

Dark corners of paneled tap rooms are some of my favorite locations in all the world. Oddly, up here in the gloomy PNW the tap rooms seem mostly to be paneled in light wood. Oh well, so long as the beer engines are working I can tolerate a lack of brooding dark.:beer: At least now I can. A year and a half ago brooding gloom was what i sought out.

One can never have too much tweed. :biggrin:

Or too many shotguns.

 

[Oldsarge]

* shudder!*

 

[Oldsarge]

I see I have some catching up to do!

Wore a gunning jacket over tattersall, pheasant emblematic tie and green moleskins last night. Company is coming tonight, I think, so it will be time to break out the chunky shawl collar cardigan. Ah . . . autumn!

 

[Oldsarge]

Indeed, a lovely suit. It's cut a bit slim for my taste (and physique!) but the material and styling are most satisfactory.

Here's a reprint from Thursday. I could live in tweed if the weather were right.

 

[Oldsarge]

An extraordinary coat. I've seen that cloth before, at Mears I believe. So many tweeds, so much less money . . .

 

[Oldsarge]

Yeah, that ticket pocket thing reduces the charm of a lovely cut and cloth. But if it came up on sale I'd grit my teeth and wear it anyway.:biggrin:

 

[Oldsarge]

Quite.

 

[Oldsarge]

Be still, oh my heart!



I really like the socks/PS coordination. Witty, what?

 

[Oldsarge]

Coordinated gloves and buttons? My word!

It's an attempt to put a giggle into print.

 

[Oldsarge]

That they do!

 

[Oldsarge]

Much as I love the countryside look, that's a bit Over The Top for me. I love the coat and trousers and the neckerchief. The vest and shirt? Not so much.

 

[Oldsarge]

There are two in the greater Portland area. I'm feeling some pressure, here.

Ever been to Flagstaff in January?
