<\/p>\nAfter our morning meetup in the library, we walk down to an intimate picnic against the backdrop of the property\u2019s vine-covered stone footbridge and babbling stream.<\/p>\n
Everyone is dressed in their fall finest, courtesy of Browne: Hall saunters down the hill in a sweet cardigan patterned with gray, pink, and white gingham, while Benton wears a plaid skirt suit with argyle socks, the pleated skirt appliqu\u00e9d with geese in flight. Along with my wool trompe l\u2019oeil shift dress, I break out knee socks for the first time since high school\u2014though the gray pair with Browne\u2019s signature four-bar stripe are certainly an upgrade.<\/p>\n
After a lunch of roast chicken in a vibrant orange pepper sauce; salmon; and melon, cucumber, and mint on a bed of whipped ricotta, we dig into buttery biscuits, adding generous dollops of raspberry jam and clotted cream.<\/p>\n
When dessert is finished, Spector and Jacobson both try their hand at fly fishing, guided by local fishermen. Jacobson slips a pair of waders over her three-piece pinstripe suit, looking placid as she stands knee-deep in the stream. For Spector, getting into the waders is more of a production, untying his knee-high lace-up boots with utmost care\u2014though he decides to leave his plaid trench coat on in the end. Elsewhere, Kaufman heads into the water sans waterproofing, gray corduroy suit and gingham shirt soaked. Though Mills declines to hop in the water, she watches on from the bank, Kaufman playfully splashing her.<\/p>\n

For those of us watching on, we share a giggle imagining what the fisherman must think of this whole setup. Meanwhile, over on the blanket, Hine and Lemmon begin a rather futile attempt to teach the rest of us backgammon. But as the Champagne flows, it becomes clear that their efforts are mostly in vain. After all, it\u2019s nearly dinnertime.<\/p>\n

After a brief rest in our hotel rooms\u2014some taking a moment to lie down, while others tune into the US Open men\u2019s finals\u2014it\u2019s time to change for dinner. I don a suit from Browne\u2019s black-tie portion of the collection, a black blazer and cropped, straight-legged trousers, which I wear with a white button-down and a black tie emblazoned with a clock atop the brand\u2019s signature red, white, and navy tricolor stripe. I add a pair of white socks and black pointy-toe wingtip heels, tying the long laces around my ankles like a pair of pointe shoes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After our morning meetup in the library, we walk down to an intimate picnic against the backdrop of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22501,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,24,55,54,56,14914],"class_list":{"0":"post-22500","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-new-york-city-headlines","11":"tag-new-york-city-news","12":"tag-ny","13":"tag-thom-browne"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
