(click image above to enlarge)After a weekend of rainbow colors, khaki seems like a nice respite. Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Peacock loves colors, but I also like a nice khaki too. The color khaki comes from the Persian word khak which means dust. Many armies around the world have used the color khaki for their uniforms and camouflage. To many gents, Khakis have become synonymous for meaning casual pants (think chinos), but don’t limit your wardrobe to just khaki colored pants. Here’s some of Mr. Peacock’s favorite khaki colored items:
1) Mr. Peacock adores this cotton khaki tuxedo with contrasting black silk twill detailing and notched collar. The underside of the collar lining is embroidered with tiny contrasting skull-and-cross bones. The pants have black silk twill taping down the legs, with unfinished cuffs (to either roll or have hemmed). 2) This khaki tie is unlined and has selvage at both ends and made with fabric from Japan.
3) I’ve worn out many pairs of checkered Vans, and blue or white Keds over the years…but I’ve never had a pair of khaki canvas Keds like these!
4) A khaki colored twill briefcase, with chocolate leather trim, that is seasonably chic and utilitarian too!
5) This military inspired khaki hat would be great while reading a book at the beach, or just running errands.
6) This mid-century inspired chair is upholstered in a khaki colored army duck fabric—similar to what was used by armies for tents and uniforms. I think the khaki fabric gives it a warm masculine touch and would integrate well with most interiors. It's on sale here.
7) This khaki and black color blocked button down shirt would look great addition to any wardrobe—and would be a great year-round piece.
8) I also like these khaki canvas sneakers with an espadrille inspired jute detailing, and a leather detail in the back. They’re made of canvas, leather, hemp, and rubber.
Khaki, beige, tan, dust...whatever you want to call the color, is a great addition to any gentleman’s wardrobe. Do you have any khaki colored items, besides pants, in your wardrobe?

love khaki! wearing khaki pants today at the office...
You know, I don't think I own any khaki! It probably reminds me too much of growing up and wearing practically nothing but chinos and a navy blazer at school. The khaki tuxedo is very interesting - I would absolutely wear the jacket as a separate, but probably not the whole look... and I'm not loving the flip flops...
Did you see John-Galliano, wearing khaki on the runway after the Dior show? I am feeling khaki too-
Just yesterday, I work a khaki cotton pleated skirt from martin & osa. I love khaki with white, brown, od in the summer.

I've been living a khaki-free existence.
I would, however, like to swivel in that Copenhagen chair.
I proudly am ADDICTED to khakis! :)
