A few days late in getting these photographs posted here, but we are into the latter half of the semester/term here, so things have become fast and furious as students and faculty try to keep their heads above the rising waters. Classes end on December 08, but who's counting?
In any case, the weather was quite warm last Wednesday, so out came a cotton jacket and chinos that I keep on a hanger together because these two particular items work so well together. It's very easy to add almost any shirt-necktie-socks combination, slip into the loafers, and in minutes you're ready for whatever the day might throw at you.
Not visible is the brown braided leather belt that I always pair with these loafers. It's not an exact match, but in the same color range and close enough for my tastes.
The pocket square, one of two new ones, is an early birthday gift from my sister in Washington, D.C., who ordered and had them sent from the U.K. via DHL. From Rampley & Co., they are 100% silk, with a wonderfully full-bodied hand.
The second square features darker reds, oranges, and browns and is a reproduction of Britain's 28th Regiment of Foot in square formation, awaiting the onslaught of French cavalry, at the Battle of Quatre Bras on 16. June 1815. The original was painted by Lady Elizabeth Butler in 1875 by the way. Perfect for autumn in any case, so I'll wear this latter pocket square with whatever I throw together for tomorrow, Monday the 30th of October.
Where on earth did the last month go?
