@Brooks—The jeans are Rugby.

Are the trousers Levi’s? Great fit.

FE you’re the man…. for patches, always choose plaid (:

Thank you very much for the great advice.

@Mike—While this is certainly a personal choice, I tuck my polos in with a slimmer fitting trouser.  If I’m wearing a roomier chino/short I’ll sloppily tuck it in at the front and let the day determine the rest.  I do always prefer to show some belt though.

Should a polo shirt always be tucked into ones trousers.

Great look.  I need some inspiration for my white pants.

@Katherine & Timmy—The occasional hole in one’s garments—especially at the knees and elbows—is not all that uncommon and very preppy.  I just need to find a suitable patch now…

Gosh, I didn’t even notice the rip in the jeans until now. Not really my thing to be completely honest. I would rather stay inside than wear ripped jeans anywhere. But sans rip they are superb.

Was the title of this post just some sort of pun, or are you actually stepping down from this blog?

AEV left a comment on 8/15/2011 at 8:12 AM:

I don’t mind this….though I prefer classic polo style shirts w/o pockets and with banded sleeves. I, like @Timmy, am curious what the rip in the pants is all about. Pant painting calamity? Pocket knife mishap? A slot for a frontal knee hankerchief? Oh, I joke…..

Timmy left a comment on 8/15/2011 at 12:59 AM:

why are the pants ripped?

Love the white jeans! And the rest too, but especially the jeans.

I was on the fence about that exact polo, but the fit seems on point.  Thanks for the post.

Great shot! I love the shoes and the white pants.

Nicely done, nicely done.

Is there any rule about when to tuck a polo or not ?
It seems quite old-man’ish but FEC looks great here

I could never pull off the white jeans look without making me look like I escaped the worst part of the early 90s fashion disaster. FEC always manages it so well.

@Thomas—Ralph Lauren, made in Maine.

Nice shoes. Are those C&J?

Looking good ol’ chum.

Very skinny belt is a nice touch.
