[Gerry Nelson]

Alright, I'll give this a shot:

A closer look at the top block:

@Riva you should supply details (makers and fabrics). I can’t tell if your entries are suede/nubuck or cotton.
I know you like to lean towards flamboyant threads which probably doesn’t resonate too much with viewers in cold wet and grey climates but I would wear the **** out of that turquoise one here in Florida if I could get over my fear of some schmuck spilling red wine on it.

I remember going back home to northern England for Christmas in the early nineties and my mate was sporting a dark scarlet red suede Levi trucker jacket bought with his Christmas money or maybe as we were fresh out of college then he was making decent dough for the first time in his life. Anyway it was a sweet looking jacket but I’ve never seen the likes of it recently.

(Anyone looking in I have a small-fitting Medium Levi trucker in tan suede with the leather collar for sale. Barely worn. PM if interested!)

Done. Next we should do a bomber challenge. I can do more than 15 different colors for that inc 4 scarlet/burgundy variations. Then onto safaris!

OK I recently wore my dark brown buffalo leather trucker but didn’t care much for the picture, so here’s a different entry ...

My humble submission. Just the clothes I wear. My old Levi type III(early ‘70s? Big E), Ratio butcher striped buttondown, navy LL Bean lambswool, smart brown Cordings cords, and(not shown) Alden all-weather walkers in heavily-patina’d tan scotch grain leather.

With @Botolph 's permission, i re-post the picture of his Alden shoes and Cordings cord that he posted in another thread, to complement his outfit…

This is probably the best entry so far, but if you read the OP again i specified that you shouldn't wear jeans. Now there is maybe an ambiguity in the way it was stated, so you qualify.

Double denim stays strictly forbidden, Jeans may only be worn with suede, leather, snakeskin ( ) truckers only.

Gents this Challenge is on CM, so let's stay in the spirit of the 'WAYWRN: Classical Menswear, Casual style' thread please.

Oh come on. You mean we can only wear a trucker over our usual work attires? That'd be too easy.

The Taverniti Jacket is from the early 80's,purchased from a shop in Old Compton Street ,long before it became the Gay Mecca of today.
Can't recall the name of the shop ,but it was very much of the Paninaro style of the time.
