Wow, I wonder what your reaction would be if you were a proctologist. I'm assuming you are not a proctologist. Also, how do you get your socks on in the morning?
I had never seen either of these styles before. The one on the right looks like a huarache and a boat shoe had a baby- which is great because I love boat shoes as a casual summer shoe but get very tired of the constant preppy connotations. Thanks for posting these!Hello and I hope everyone is well. Those are great! I’m also a big fan of huaraches this time of year. Particularly due to the brutal summer heat where I live. Also, despite my best efforts, I just could never get my cowboy boots to look good with short pants. JOKE!
I spend a fair amount of time in Mexico every year and always pick a few pairs up. I wanted to share a couple. Maybe some of you would find these to be of interest.

Found this jacket and was told the limited fabric is from Dieworkwear - any ideas if it is still available? Tempted.
Thank you very much. The fabric looks nice from the close-up shots.Perhaps @dieworkwear can chime in and let you know.
However, there probably isn't any left, as it was a run of fabric done about a year ago now - see the blog post here:
Last Call for Summer Tweed — Die, Workwear!
A friendly reminder: the order window for this year’s summer tweed re-run closes this Friday, August 30th. Since introducing it in 2016, I’ve been happily surprised to see it pop up in some unexpected places. It’s shown up in GQ, The Sartorialist, and Permanent Style. Bespoke shoemaker Nicholas...dieworkwear.com
I think that a retailer or two, such as Spier and Mackay, also purchased some of the fabric and made some suits/jackets out of it but, once again, there's most likely none left.

Thanks a lot! Will look them up soon.It looks like Spier and Mackay has it on their website as a fabric choice for MTO/MTM, so they may have some left.
There is also someone selling 7 meters on the B&S classifieds.
If you just like the fabric and don't want or need a sport coat, The Armoury had it made up in a summer safari jacket.
The old style, authoritarian dad says to his kids ”you must come with me to visit your grandparents“. The new style, postmodern dad says “I am going to see your grandparents. You don’t have to come with me but they will be upset if you don’t“. By implication, he’s saying ‘not only must you come to see your grandparents, you must also enjoy it‘. In this, and every other case, the old authoritarian dad is favourable, because at least he’s honest.

So Ordered: The Messy Nature of Dress Codes — Die, Workwear!
Even on lockdown and while working from home, in what I can only presume to be sweatpants and t-shirts, Americans love debating what others should wear to work. Last week, political blogger and Vox co-founder Matthew Yglesias responded to a tweet asking people to share their hottest...dieworkwear.com
This will be the second time I’ve mentioned Zizek on Styleforum, which must be a record, nevertheless I think his authoritarian dad vs postmodern dad paradigm is useful here.

Zizek uses parenting here as an allegory for a type of behaviour that can be attributed to a postmodern worldview, in which the war of ideas is seemingly over, but the dominant ideology manifests itself in altogether more implicit and untruthful ways.This distinction is less about “authoritarian” vs “postmodern” which, as vague a concept as it is, is utterly meaningless when applied to parenting, than it is about “ask” vs “guess” cultures.
