    Shocking Panache pics

    We went to a Winter solstice party last night and were met at the door with the request to please remove our shoes. Understand that this was in the Santa Cruz mountains, and it was raining. So, not a very unusual or excessive request.

    Also understand that my dear husband rarely will remove his shoes in public (interpretation: he would wear shoes to bed if I did not draw the line!).

    Here's proof that he does follow the tenet, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

    First, from the waist up, gryphonaire and Panache:



    Here's the shocker:



    But I still love him, despite this raccoon that has come between us:





    Be well,

    I was expecting something out of my past, but he still has the class to match even his pocket hankie.

    I would have thought a pale blue pocket hankie to match the fuzzy slippers would have finished off the outfit!

    I believe there are photos of Jamie in pants somewhere on this forum, but I won't dredge them up!

    I agree, something needed to be added to match the slippers.

    Be well,

    Regarding handkerchiefs and pocket squares, I have had trouble finding a source for reasonably priced ones. A local party supply store sells a number of bandannas with various patterns and solid colors. With careful folding they seem to work well as a substitute. They have the added advantage of being more useful than a pocket square or handkerchief (one never knows when a rousing game of "Blind Man's Bluff" may be called for)

    Ron,

    It is a gray tweed jacket with a greenish cast to it. It works very well with the Isle of Skye tartan

    I think I look rather smart in a nice pair of trousers

    But they do not include the heads of the goat and the horse from which they come!

    Ooou! Purple pocket square with gray-green tweed: nice.

    I've been slowly trying to learn to make pocket squares from silk and other fabrics by handsewing the rolled edges, but that gives me a new idea. I guess careful folding could even hide a regular hemmed edge.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    I'm sorry Star - but that raccoon is a pandoras box of comedy gold. Consider my self imposed silence on the matter to be your early Christmas present.

    Cheers!

    I love the photos, however I'm shocked that his slippers do not match
