Blue blazer, seersucker; loafers. Ancient barber and corner table. Vegetal fights off the curry.

Always melancholic putting madras away at summer’s end; will you keep wearing the bleeding material anyway after Labor Day? This red jacket survived rush in the 60s!

Time to leave for the office.

Jack Victor 2 button pinstripe suit; single vent, sack; customised linings on request. With Alan Payne loafers, Gitman shirt. JMM glasses, TLC.

This particular pattern, from Brooks Brothers, was once ubiquitous downtown; the current term for it would be “basic AF” I suppose. With blue pinstripe and gold watch, the tie signalled respectability/probity.

Avoiding the “mixing metal” conundrum?

My father wore this jacket in 1962 rushing Delt. Has held up well and he is still around too!

Floral textured print Lilly GTH pants from turn of the century Worth Ave for drinks on terrace. In honor of Official Preppy Handbook persona no. 5.

Seersucker stays stylish.

Green windowpane wool/silk/linen sport coat; 3 roll 2, single vent, undarted. Ferragamo butterflies, green Santos.

Inherited tie from a well-dressed uncle who was an actual rocket scientist.

Too much going on with stripes, gingham and glen plaid? Yes.

Have asked you; now we are begging.

Checking in with Honore de at Victoria and Albert; and My Fair flat at Covent Garden (One Fine Stay). Rainless hot London; not what I expected!

3 roll 2 worsted wool khaki suit; pink button down. Alden loafers.

So it’s nap time. 8 a.m.

Always nice to wander in England till you find tea.
