They seek him here,
They seek him there.
His clothes are loud,
But never square.
You had no clue, Ray Davies wrote those telling words about me. Ray said, "Tommy, you are a dedicated follower of fashion."
That's me at LaSalle Academy @ 44 East 2nd Street in 1969.

I still own the jacket, a 40 Regular. Worn on my first date with Rosemary DiNatale in 1970. We took in Monterrey Pop at the Paris movie house across from The Plaza on a rainy afternoon.
This outfit, complimented with powder blue socks and desert boots earned me jealous stares, oohs & aahs.

I love the jacket! I'm sure you impressed your date.
But what color is the tie?
At first I read, "Dessert boots", and I thought, "Boots for different courses of the meal? He IS serious about fashion."
I think it's time to invent dessert boots Tommy.
As I recall, that is the way jackets looked in those days. Ask Lindsey Nelson. But powder blue socks and desert boots, man, Tommy, you were making a statement!
haha nice reference. You've always been known for your chic style.
