Cleverley Loafers & Seersucker-in-Plaid
Work hard play hard, and one begins to undergo the consequences. A bit of blood in the undercarriage, the result I suspect of drinking large amounts of champagne and whiskey, has forced me to slow down and spend some time chez maison. I have therefore taken the opportunity to inspect the inventory and see what I have in stock for summer wear. In this exclusive archival photo you can see quite clearly a pair of Cleverley loafers cradled in the adoring embrace of a J.Press sport coat. I think they make a splendid trio. The shoes are popularly known as 'butterfly loafers,' for some reason, I have learned, but I certainly do not look or feel like a butterfly when I wear them. The sport coat is a plaid seersucker number with enough spilt G&Ts in the fabric that one could probably fashion a decent cocktail if one wrung hard enough. Better spilt gin, I suppose, than spilt blood. Per aspera ad astra.
As long as you are the master and the drink remains the servant.

Do Cleverleys come in purple with sparkly rainbows?!
ReplyDeleteLook at the upside, with all the tonic you've had in the G&T's, you won't get malaria.
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes.
Admiral, a dashing ensemble. Another advantage of the G&T patina would surely be that the suit has a built in - and rather particulier - eau de cologne?
ReplyDeleteThe loafers are the bomb.
ReplyDeleteWhat delicious little vignette makes me want to drink sloe gin cocktails with the wearer.
