Light brown pebble grain Norwegian bluchers with double soles by Edward Green, about to take their fall constitutional this past weekend. I did wear these once or twice during the season that's ending, unlike the other, darker, Norwegians and the brogues and half boots that came out of storage recently. Away went the summer shoes, to re-appear next May.
Worn with taupe cotton socks with white hoop stripes and dark green cotton drill trousers. Above the waist, a tan silk shirt, gray flannel shirt jacket and a green felt fedora.

Love those socks. You've had several hoop-striped examples lately, which aren't too common these days — may I ask who your favorite sources are for such beauties?
They were scarce as hen's teeth for a while but now both Pantherella and Marcoliani have hoop stripes in cotton and in wool.
I would think a richly colored sock, maybe in a red, would set off the brown of the shoes better.. I'm curious.. why the grey?
why the grey? i totally agree.
Taupe is not gray in my view. It seems more like a tannish brown with a hint of gray. But I agree. I would wear either a sock that matches my trousers or something closer to the color of my shoe. I do like the shoes.
I hate flash photography. the socks have a green cast to them and work very well with the trousers and the gray overshirt I was wearing.
Some days your shoes should relate to your trousers, and this was one of those days.
