Last year, some manufacturer (don't remember who) had a pair of white-on-white saddle shoes available (which, of course, I couldn't afford).<br /><br />White shoes can be quite the thing. Can they save the off-lime jacket? Hmm... you'll just have to show us.<br /><br />P.S.: My grandfather and his friends wore "ice cream" shoes and belts (i.e., shoes and belts in the color <i>bone</i>) with pastel-ish pants in the summer. We always made fun of that "old man" fashion, but now I'm looking forward to white bucks with seersucker--and it's all your fault! (Not that I mind, actually.)<br /><br />We'll see about the white belt.Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-44105820736122993202010-02-26T11:04:20.484-08:002010-02-26T11:04:20.484-08:00Those pants are amazing.

Can't wait to get them. <br /><br />Take care, <br />Dennis CahloMade To Measure, NYhttp://www.madetomeasureny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-72973299814681810142010-02-26T09:38:33.289-08:002010-02-26T09:38:33.289-08:00I have become a huge fan of your site and have beg...I have become a huge fan of your site and have begun thrifting here in Dallas, Texas. I have yet to have the success at the huge finds you have but I'm doing well. I decided to write to you this time because I found a pair of never worn wool trousers with a herring bone print that look EXACTLY like the ones you have pictured here. <br />Inverse pleats, sans belt loops. I live in mostly affluent part of Dallas near the Dallas Cowboy practice facility and lots of Cowboys live in the area. I live modestly however. I found the trousers at Goodwill. They had a "purple tag 50% off sale"...so the trousers cost a whopping $2.50. They fit almost perfectly in the waist but were too long. I'm paying my tailor $10 for the hem and cuff. I pick them up today.<br />I've purchased about 7 shirts and 3 pairs of trousers from this Goodwill totaling maybe $60. I found another resale in which I waited too long to decide on purchasing a Land's End plaid blazer. It was 6.99 and fit perfectly. Except the sleeves needed shortening. Who ever purchased it first never bothered to have it tailored. I was sick about it. But I'm encouraged I can still find good deals - somewhere. I love the site!Michaelhttp://www.sonicvibrations.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-41752565520293200142010-02-26T04:00:02.351-08:002010-02-26T04:00:02.351-08:00I like those pants.

Guys who wear them around their hips are the ones who end up looking like they have a diaper on.<br /><br />Just my two cents.Andrew M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06378562384816274316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-68279135035847597062010-02-26T00:53:39.946-08:002010-02-26T00:53:39.946-08:00Totally dig what you say, Guiseppe.
