    Nice selection. The pop-up flea looks very interesting and I look forward to reading all about it.
    Have a good trip old boy.

    Hmm. Like it - would LUV it if you swapped the khakis for dark jeans and the shirts for something italian.

    Oh so suitable (!) and overflowing with real style. I hope you had a fantastic worn and loved hard-cased leather suitcase to carry it all in.

    Nice stuff but I think that I'll be stocking up on your opposite number's silk scarves at $335 a pop for Christmas gifts.

    Like that blue repp stripe with the herringbone tweed- very sharp and a color combo I hadn't thought of- now I ned to appropriate it for myself...

    Just curious, what sort of reading material do you prefer when traveling?

    Andrew,

    For this trip it was "Mont Saint Michel & Chartres", by Henry Adams. Nothing like a 100 year old tome on the intricacies of Gothic cathedral architecture to pass the time.

    Anon,

    It's an oldie...Hardwick Clothes for Ben's of Amesbury , Massachusetts. I love those old store brand labels.
