    Not a fan of the jacket, but love the shades! 🙂

      Pretty sure I couldn’t get away with the coat or glasses. Not sure I’d want to try either. But all credit to his coordination.

    He looks pretty content to me!

      Yeah, a man who I suspect is just as comfortable in his own skin, as he is in purple.

    Damn, that is one set donturned mouth. An expression Judge Dredd would be proud of.
    Funny how people see colours differently. His jacket is just a blue to me. Even though I can see the blues of the top right sign, the jeans and the hoopey teeshirt are bluer. My wife has pointed out to me before my “purple blindness”. Fortunately there don’t seem to be any practical downside to it other than occasionally purchasing a dodgey purpleish shirt or two.

      Good call. There is a Dredd element about his expression, isn’t there?

      Interesting. I’d always assumed colour blindness was several colours, not just one. But at least you have someone to tell you if you’ve bought something a bit gaudy. The fella above maybe doesn’t…

    Maybe he’s a fan of Hendrix.

      Good. Not a colour I’ve ever been lenticular fond off to be honest, so nice to hear his choice is approved by others.

        Being a redhead, I NEVER wear purple. He does match tho.

    Wow, he really turned that smile upside down; I think he got the blue glasses from Johnny Depp 🙂

      He did, didn’t he? That’s what initially drew me to him, and it was only as I got closer that I noticed the colour coordination.

    Popeye? Wearing purple, d*mmit – you got a problem with that? Didn’t think so.

    I’m guessing reconstructive surgery.
