Very nice Espee! Your friends look terrific too
That's a great hat on you TTO
I love a man in a kiltWell, seeing how there has been some interest in kilts lately, here's one of me on my way to a military mess dinner. I belong to a highland regiment; hence the kilt.
Well, I'm not a guy, but I do love to see your suits (along with other Lounger's attire) and I'm not an original member [huh]
The jacket is vintage. Age unknown. The only label in it is "All wool / made in England". No wool mark, which suggests a pre-1964 manufacture. Picked it up a couple of years ago for forty pounds GB on Portobello Road. Completely as new condition. It's a style that looks very vintage to me, but given how little that style of jacket changed over time, it's hard to date it exactly.
Another great outfit, Edward. Those trousers really are something! The combination with the collarless shirt and the ascot is wonderful. Aren't you afraid to stumble over one of this trouser legs?
It looks like a British counterpart to the American "Hollywood" jacket. Love the collar and 4-buttons!
Absolutely fantastic Edward! I love that coat
Melbourne Pen Show tomorrow and it's the preshow dinner tonight.
In anticipation of pens, inks, paper, stains and spills, I am wearing a mostly black enssemble today (and, weather permitting, tomorrow as well).
It's a habit/tradition of mine to wear black at the Pen Show. That way, stains don't show up on my clothes.
Today's setup:
Black waistcoat.
Black trousers.
Black shoes.
Dark socks.
White, shortsleeved shirt.
Silver-grey tie.
Black rabbit-felt homburg.
This is actually my first time wearing my homburg in public. I hope it looks good...
