Now you've got impetus to get your tax return done.

No, no earthy colours, blacks, blues, some red and white striped shirts. Though maybe I should go earthy. I look good in brown (or so a girl told me many years ago) but I always equated it with winter and sort of like Ireland peat mossy stout drinking book reading pipe smoking, tweed jacket wearing sort of activities. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

As long as you're getting women's boots, you should get them in pink!

OK OK, you might be a moderator but I'm banning you for six months for that...

Anyway, I've moved past the lady's cowboy boots and now I'm in to the men's earthy Irish stout drinking, Whitman reading pipe smoking, tweed jacket wearing boots...

Chunky cords, oh chunky cords possibly my favourite cool climate trouser, its too darn hot here for them. Moleskin trousers would also go with this look and they are comfy too. I also find that earthy colours fade well whereas black ends up a patchy grey. avoid leather elbow patches on tweed jackets, just my opinion.

I used to like brown cords, until my brother said no. I'm unsure why I did everything he told me to do, but that's the way it goes...
Yes, leather elbow patches are base.

Perhaps you should just go round entirely in beige, no-one could take exception to that as it would look so non-descript you would not be noticed, or just work out what you like and tell everyone else to flip off.

You're babbling like a little girl again. In the interests of efficiency, could we establish a look that you want to go for, and then work from there?

Here's one:

Or this one:

How about this?
