What Would Steve Wear?

In my desparate desire to emulate Steve, I have attempted to dress as him for New Years Eve.

I went with yellow chinos (the colour of chamois leather - with a cracking 2 inch cuff and zero break in the leg - I had to have stern words to my tailor about the correct trouser length for casual wear), a white barrel-cuffed shirt and a blazer that is as close to the American Sack Cut that I can stomach. It is single breasted (I had the brass buttons replaced with Mother of Pearl - I figure that is the way Steve would roll) and has patch pockets for a casual look. Only the sleeves are lined, so the body of the coat has a wonderful drape and the lapel roll is very full.

If it were any other night than NYE I would have worn the American staple “Penny Loafers” on my hooves. However, given the number of pissed morons on the streets, I’m in cognac coloured riding boots in case I actually need to break someones leg.

If someone I know takes a photo of me (obviously the gen pop will be clicking away like crazy at this vision of sartorial splendour) I’ll post it later.

Have a great NYE all and thanks for the entertainment in 09
