The story of...

Autumn Glory Orange and Virginia Slate Blue

The University student body was restless for an agreeable athletic color…the crimson red and silver grey of yesteryear was not holding its own, as the red was fading into a pink on the muddy-wet fields. The students met to determine the right mixture for their colors.

It was Virginia’s star football player of the 1890’s Allen Potts’ scarf that caught the eye of the student body. One particular body in fact, Robert Redd, had his hand in a lot of pots, so to speak. This particular day the student body wanted to make a choice and as legend has it, it was none other than our hero Robert Redd, who yelled out, as he grabbed Allen Potts’ Orange and Blue scarf, “How will these colors do?” The crowed loved it and the rest is history, or legend, as the case may be.

“Orange and Blue!”…Bold and True!

Pierrepont Hicks and Walker Lamond

When in Doubt Wear a Tie
The 1st quote in WALKER LAMOND'S new book
 

One of my husband's dear friends
WALKER LAMOND
was recently labeled a "Pierrepont Hicks Man"
I was thrilled to see this brand at Pillowmint in Charlottesville!

 
 

Here is the definition of a Pierrepont Hicks Man-I LOVE THIS!
PPH is both explorer + city-gent.
He’s an angler, a storyteller,
a student + a teacher.
He’s attentive, assured, discerning.
He is tough to read, easy to
remember.
PPH prefers dusk to dawn,
books to television,
dunes to the bay,
rowboats to motors,
woodfiregrills to charcoal,
trout to tuna,
listening to talking.
He lives life in the presence
of good manners.
He holds the door,
rises for a lady and tips his hat.
PPH was once overheard saying:
“The prettiest thing in the world, is a
ship at the end of a street.”
And he always takes a running leap
off the dock.
The PierrepontHicks man  is a
modern classic. He’s ageless.

OKAY SERIOUSLY, Huge compliment to Walker, author of an awesome book.
(Can be purchased locally at New Dominion Bookshop on the Downtown Mall).

Every man and boy should have a copy of this book
Here are some of my favorite quotes from WALKER'S book:

men with facial hair have something to hide
Don't show off, impress
At funerals, a dark suit is fine, you shouldn't own a black one
Take your sunglasses off indoors. This includes elevators and planes
Never turn down a girls invitation to dance
A Man's Luggage doesn't roll
Avoid Gossip
When in doubt wear a tie

REDD Shirts Get Around

Robert Matheson, my brother in law, started the company Robert Redd-a shirt company here in Charlottesville, now located in the Glass Building downtown.  

Lately, I have been amazed at all of the places I have been seeing the Robert Redd shirt.    

I think that I may begin to track REDD shirt around the world because... a common theme keeps emerging. 

In one week, I have seen the REDD shirt at Princess Margaret's former home in the Grenadines , at Royal Orchard, AND at the King Family Vineyards in Greenwood.  Please note the the names of the above locations, Princess, Royal, and King.  Interesting.

So...go get a shirt, put it on, and watch where you end up. 

Enjoy.
