A reader question:
Hi Muffy,
May I ask the readers a question please.
As autumn approaches and the weather cools, what particular item of clothing are the readers looking forward to wearing again (a difficult job I know, to narrow it down).
Personally I'm looking forward to getting back into my tweed hacking jackets (in fact it was cool enough this morning to wear one).
Cubbing begins this weekend. Looking forward to putting on my tweed coat and brown boots.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
DeleteLike so many, I always look forward to the seasonal rite of passage when my summer things are stored away for another year - after having happily accompanied me through the often too hot weather – followed by the welcome appearance of my autumn clothing once again.
ReplyDeleteI find the tilting of our planet to be perfectly timed to balance the seasons. Not too long, not too short. Every year, I eventually grow tired of the warm weather, and long for the cooler shorter days, and then vice versa (there’s just so much winter duration I can endure.)
My favorite? Well, I really enjoy breaking out my wonderful tweed collection from Cordings – tweed hacking jackets, a tweed Field Coat, a Follifoot Bark Coat, a pair of tweed Plus Twos, tweed caps, and an exceptionally handsome three-piece tweed country suit.
Now please bring on the cold weather – I’m ready.
Barbour jackets, bean field coats, corduroy pants, french terry sweatshirts
ReplyDeleteCorduroy pants and OCBDs.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than that first time I put on my J Press Shaggy Dog sweater over my thickest oxford cloth shirt. Question for Anonymous at 3:50 PM - where do you find French terry sweatshirts? All I can find are fleece and I hate fleece. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI don’t understand why anyone would want to wear a sweatshirt during the day unless you’re in the gym?
DeleteReally? Have you ever met anyone in the trades?
DeleteI’ve worked with my hands my entire life. Hard physical, dirty work. Never wore a sweatshirt.
DeleteBean field coat. JDV
ReplyDeleteBlended alpaca and silk scarves.
ReplyDelete6:08 I encourage you to search LOOPWHEELER. I believe you (and other readers) will be pleasantly surprised.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy foot basset hunts in Far Hills after which the Forbes always host the nicest brunch, including Bloodies and Bull Shots! Every, these days, wears field pants and Patagonia vests, especially if one's PE firm's name is embroidered on the chest! Jolly good times!
ReplyDeleteEasy! Wool flannel, tweed, and corduroy in various combinations. Won't be long now.
ReplyDeleteKind Regards,
Heinz-Ulrich
My winter "uniform" - Cording's paddock jackets, tattersall shirts and Shetland jumpers with Tricker's country boots
ReplyDeleteHand me down from my father J Press tweed sport jackets bought on York Street in the ´80’s
ReplyDeleteAs a New Englander living in Austin, I look forward to being comfortable in what I am wearing now, shorts, a gingham button down with tails untucked and sleeves rolled, and Quoddy camp mocs. I cannot even imagine pulling on a Shetland crewneck. That would mean it was winter.
ReplyDeleteFall is rapidly aproaching Austin. Weather Underground says we'll hit 100 only 3 of the next 10 days!
DeleteTweed, Shaggy Dogs, and corduroy
ReplyDeleteLight crewneck sweaters & corduroys
ReplyDeleteTweed sport coats, Shetland sweaters, corduroys and gray flannels. It will likely be another month at least down here in Virginia.
ReplyDeleteCashmere sweaters
ReplyDeleteMr. Anonymous - Thank you very much for taking the time to post Loopwheeler. The track jacket was exactly what I wanted - I couldn't believe my eyes. Now the price I guess is the surprising part. The cardigan was very appealing too.
ReplyDeleteAs we near toward autumn, I always look forward to sweaters and sport coats, sturdy shoes, soups and scotch whiskey.
ReplyDeleteSweaters and corduroys. Some of my darker handbags.
ReplyDeleteCorduroy pants; shetland, bar stripe, fair isle, and heavy cable knit sweaters; tartan flannel shirts; quilted jackets and wool coats; suede and leather totes and handbags.
ReplyDeleteCorduroys and Barbour. Bring on the colder weather.
