My Husband the Dandy

It't not easy being married to a man who is always dressed to the nines, following fashion trends and rocking' the style charts.  This is Bill on a typical Saturday - velvet jacket, pocket square….
He was reluctant to join me in Fortnum and Mason at first - then he discovered the fifth floor  - gentleman's accessories.  This hat is now part of his collection.
I really wanted him to get a silk scarf.  Doesn't this MAKE the look?  Oh, and a walking stick or umbrella - not the compact kind that we carry but a real statement of an umbrella.  But he just went with the hat.  (Denise, do you recognize the studded belt from our trip to Camden Market?)
Once he conquered the fifth floor he was ready to go out for a cigar while I gazed at and fondled every thing for sale on floors 4 through G.  More on that in another post.  While he was outside, a couple from California asked if he would pose for a picture!!!  East Coast and West Coast dandies unite!!

(PS that seems to be a hair clip on the brim of West Coast's cap…not sure what's going on there…)
