Light tan safari jacket,unbelted with sleeves rolled half ways up…a little cool at night even in the tropics.

One of the benefits of Thailand life. Much tasty difficult to prepare food served very inexpensively.

Earlier today a light olive linen jacket,perfect for the tropics.

A vintage late 1940’s early 1950’s panama made in Cuenca Ecuador.

i purchased a used nice iron wok at a Saturday market earlier this year for 50 Baht or about $USD 1.60. I learned later that the Thai script on it’s outer rim had an owners name and date 2441. 2441BE is 1898MCE. Shouldn’t have surprised me since iron is exceptionally long lasting and 119 years...

You really know you’re getting old when when you’re surprised to see someone from your generation in the crowd.

And many now are four generations removed.

Looks very inviting. I bet it will be difficult to find a seat.

Sapphire London dry & tonic with a twist of lime. Perfect in the tropics.

I and most agree W&G was top of the line. I still have a beltless 100% cotton safari jacket circa 1980 . Lucky that it could be let out 1 1/2” to fit. A little worn. What isn’t after 35+ years of service ! You’re right. W&G made labeled clothes for Orvis and a host of others. All top quality...

Borsalino cuenco fino pelles panama,perfect in the tropics.

Your words perfectly fit what I was just thinking.

I remember the 1970’s inflationary times finally subsiding by the mid to late 1980’s. Unfortunately the $USD was decimated by then. No more new $2700 Ford Mavericks on the dealers lot or 25 cent Buds on tap at the local watering holes.
