The usual - Tee Shirt and slacks plus soft slippers and socks. Only change to Sketchers when I go outside to take Lily for a walk - it's in the mid70's here. We're still having 80 degree days here.

This morning my blue baggy trousers, with a turned up cuff, are topped off with a blue and white floral Hawaiian shirt, both of which my wife made for me. Colin Johnson made my blue and white correspondent shoes, my hat is a Biltmore and the two tone socks I buy from Rocket Originals.

I had a suit made in linen for an Aloha themed wedding. My tailor suggested that I had a linen/synthetic mix fabric. No, no, no, it must be linen.Love linen trousers. Have a nice lunch
How I wished that I had taken the tailor's advice. Thirty minutes wear and linen looks like you have slept in it. Shame really, it's a fabulous looking suit...............on the hanger.

That is the thing with linen but, I have a starch spray which I use when ironing linen and it works well. I use Dylon 2-in-1 starch spray

I wouldn't have thought twice about saddles as I wore them constantly in high school. Hasn't everyone heard of them?

Sitting here in the dark, I’m wearing my maroon shorts, a lighthouse tee and my tightly whiteys. No shoes or socks.

Yes, probably but perhaps best to check that your belly button hasn't slipped, I hate when that happens

Maybe something lost in translation. A saddle here would mean: (1) : a girthed usually padded and leather-covered seat for the rider of an animal (such as a horse) (2) : a : a part of a driving harness comparable to a saddle that is used to keep the breeching in place. b : a seat to be straddled by the rider of a vehicle (such as a bicycle).
Interesting that there are other meanings of the word though.

These are my saddle shoes. Usually I have my shoes made, but the cordwainer, had a cancelled order, in my size.
The second pair are called Gibsons, they were very popular in the early fifties.
The third and fifth pair are Oxfords and Spectators. The fourth pair I have never found a name for.

This is what inspired the fourth pair. 1920's film star Douglas Fairbanks Jnr. with Mary Pickford.
Look at his shoes.

Back in the fifties, this is what I wore. White Buck shoes. They were very popular with the guys. Notice the price.
