What are you wearing today??

[PADDY]

On the beach...(pics)

No vintage swimwear in these cold far reaches, but great for a vintage flying jacket from the 40's...MERRY XMAS everyone!

Paddy,
Merry Christmas to you as well. What/where are the ruins in the background?

 

[scotrace]

Paddy, one day I'll visit you (count on it), and I want to go right there, to that place.

Good taste + imagination = Slim Portly

You gents (and ladies!) are very kind.

 

[Lionheart]

Glen plaid jacket, khaki button-collar shirt, blue jeans, brown leather belt, tan socks, blue and bone saddle oxfords with red rubber soles, one of my Broner Lite Felts, and a blue ascot which was a Yule time gift from my dear friend MarkL.

I suppose it's my self-imposed responsibility to applaud you on the blue ascot. It works well with the rest of the outfit. :eusa_clap

 

[Mrs. Merl]

I really must say that these last few pages have been most impressive. I really am awed by how wonderful all of you look!!

I must say Slim Portly, I don't believe I have ever made comment on your outfits, but goodness you do dress well. (I really am interested in your homemade cuff links.)

And I too, would love to go to the exact spot in Paddy's pictures.

Very enjoyable everyone!

Hey is that a mandolin you are holding? Do you chop?

It is, I'm not very good yet.

Merry Christmas
chambray workshirt (christmas present)
green stripe braces
australian battledress trousers
black vintage captoes
borsalino

those trousers are really cool... are there any resources that would be recommended in finding a pair? i saw some other pictures of you with these (or ones like them)... do i see a button on the ankle, can it be tightened to hold onto the leg as well as worn loose?

i like your style!

I got mine on ebay, and they show up there fairly regularly.
They have buttons and straps to tighten the bottoms. Or you can wear them normal. They have very wide, straight legs.

Olive suit with black vest and pocket square, another new ascot, and the Jaxon Bogart.

Post Holiday

I decided to get a dressed up a bit after the holiday for a luncheon.

Vintage 50's suit
1940's watch by Bulova
Brown captoes by Church of England
Shirt by Brook Brothers
Tie from DKNY
Vintage socks from????
50's vintage cufflinks

 

[Slim Portly]

Bugsy, very nice cufflinks.

 

[thunderw21]

Nice suit, Bugsy, it looks to fit you well. The trousers are great and is the material flecky?

I own a Kingsridge suit from the same era with that "custom fabric" tag. What material is your suit is made of? I'm assuming the "custom fabric" was just a sales ploy unless it was a special blend of some kind.

 

[Bugsy]

Thank you, Slim. High praise indeed coming from you. I got them at an antique store in Napa, California.

Bugsy, very nice cufflinks.

 

[Bugsy]

Thunder, indeed the "custom fabric" tag might well have been a ploy. I wouldn't even venture a guess. The tag on the other breast pocket says "imported fabric". Your guess is as good as mine. Thank you for the compliment.
