Unless it is a first visit, one should always visit a tailor or shoemaker wearing a comission that they made recently. This is not only polite, it enables them to check the fit. In the photo, chocolate brown W. S. Foster slip-ons are paired with a navy blue suit with a faint light blue check and a pair of strikingly striped cotton socks from the ASW store.
Now whenever a man wears something so bold as the socks in the photo, the remainder of his dress should be fairly conservative and so above the waist were a Pacific blue candy striped shirt with a cutaway collar, silver and blue block stripe repp necktie (also from the store), white linen pocket square and an optimo panama hat.

Glad to see you pilfer from your own inventory. That's the main reason I'll never open a distillery.
Will, why do you think it is reasonable to tease the reader with details of Foster bespoke commissions without giving details of what was chosen or being tried on (if anything at all)? It's plain uncivilized! Apart from this laps ein decency, I should be interested to hear what you make of John, the new lastmaker. I understadn that Mr Moore is happy with him. J
