Thrifted J. Crew chinos, certainly from before they became trendy. The rise is a rather un-modern 13", but they're comfortable as hell. The leg has been tapered, but I want to take in the thighs a bit more. I don't know what the colour is, but it seems close to the "dill" offering here: http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/MensBrowse/Men_Shop_By_Category/pants/chino/PRDOVR~21606/21606.jsp

You are too kind. I still feel insignificant next to the masters.

Shirt is a Land's End (I believe) pinpoint BD. Cardigan is in a cotton sweatshirt fabric by Banana Republic. Pennies are pre-1985 Florsheim. The belt was a Liz Claiborne impulse buy from TJ Maxx.

CMDC -- Very well done indeed. I usually prefer darker jeans, but this totally works, and it's yet another illustration of how a well chosen necktie can effectively "tie" everything together. Jacket fit and overall length is perfect.

Thx. Pants are the standard BB Made in Canada gabs, tapered to an 8" cuff. Brooks dress pants seem like great value.

When I first read this, I thought you meant that the pants were tapered with an eight inch cuff, not tapered to eight inches with a cuff. That was quite a mental image.

Thank you. It is an old Robert Talbot made for a men's shop. It is from the thrift exchange a while back, but I cannot recall who, WNH maybe.

AP -- Those BB gabs DO appear to be a great value; they're now 2 for $199 online.

Great look, CMDC! How's the fit on the loafers? I've been thinking about picking up a pair.

^They may run a tad small. I bought them in my normal size and while they aren't short enough to return, they are a bit small lengthwise. Overall I like them but yesterday was the first time I wore them. I think the leather is a bit nicer than the Bass Warrren, which I also have and is pretty much identical in terms of design.

Just missed seeing Prince Charle's motorcade roll by on the QEW. I heard the OPP motorcycles rumbling along but didn't think to look up until too late.
