What are you wearing today??

[Dinerman]

At the shoe house.

 

[phebus]

Hey, is that the one near York, PA?

 

[Dinerman]

It is. There was an event held at it on Sunday.

 

[phebus]

I live somewhat nearby and every time I drive by it I think one of these days I'm going to stop and check it out. But I probably never will!

 

[Dinerman]

It's very interesting inside, and the tour is only $4.50. Hard to beat.

 

[Mr Badger]

Guess those shoe houses must've been of modular construction, like your beloved diners – there used to be one in Memphis, too, although it was apparently poured concrete and architect-designed! Sadly it was demolished just before I first visited (knocking down pop culture icons is a Bluff City specialty):

 

[Dinerman]

Very different designs, but I guess a popular(ish) theme at one point. This one was built in 1949 by a shoe company magnate. It's all wood with stucco overtop. Two bedroom. Nice kitchen.

Utterly sensational Vampire Master... very imposing in the frock and top.

Mr Badger – great 'relaxed' pics on the previous page... is the vintage market any good? Is it a regular thing, and where, if I may ask?... we're not far from the Somerset border. We went to a 'Vintage At The Village' event at Puriton a couple of weeks ago, and came away with a decent Bower hat and nice jacket, but I’m always looking for more items.

I concur, excellent outfits! And you made the bag yourself? Brilliant!

Bit too relaxed! The BathVA Vintage and Antiques Market is on twice a month, the first and last Sundays, and generally has a respectable mix of stalls – from clothing and housewares to furniture and decorative items... twice a year they hook up with the local college to run a vintage clothing-only edition, which are the ones we DJ at, to end the Bath Fashion Week – they're probably your best bet, in terms of maximising the amount of schmata dealers you'll see...

Are you preparing to lash out at the impertinent photographer?

Thank you for the info Mr Badger its many years since I've visited Bath, so it would be a great excuse for a visit.

Vampyre Master if it wasn't for the mini in the background of that first picture I would swear it was a genuine Victorian photo, great stuff.
Here I am in my usual attire, morning pants, and tweed vest. View attachment 1236

Away! Be off with you! Revolting street-urchins!...

R&B Man - A very casual look there. I like it

 

[The Rag And Bone Man]

Thanks Shangas, when I end up selling that great find I had on the weekend, I may treat myself to a couple of new hats, and a few more shirts..

 

[Two Types]

Here are a selection of recent outfits:

Saturday night, out to the pub (after 12 hours painting the house):

A rare outing for a bow tie:

A day off work and a chance to spend all afternoon in a pub in a backstreet in Borough with some old mates:

Today - the sun was shining so I went for a casual look - then the weather turned and it was blowing a gale all day!

 

[Tomasso]

Great looks, TT! You must be the best dressed gent at your local watering holes.

 

[Two Types]

Thanks - but there really isn't much competition where I live! In Croydon 'well-dressed' means you bothered to change out of your pyjamas before going out of the house!

 

[Big Man]

I really like that coat.

 

[bburtner@moran]

Wow,that is a scary way to dress I must say.
