Eroica Brittania fans - men's outfit advice please!

[Sara_H]

We're booked into Eroica this year, and somehow, despite my hatred of clothes shopping I've been put in charge of sorting vintage outfits for us both.

I'm very pleased as I've managed to get a cycling jersey with OH's year of birth on. It's quite jazzy. What shorts should be purchased to wear with a 1968 jersey?

I'm sorted just purchased a swing dress to match my red polka Brompton bag.

Tweed plus fours?

Plain black and no sponsorship. Unless it's from the period that matches the jersey.

Sorry, I first read that as erotica

I'd never heard of it, so had a look at the website.

No wonder cyclists get a bad rep...

Don't buy a yellow jersey, even a vintage one. The eroica lot consider it bad form to wear one if you haven't led any big races.

Me too.

"bad form"? Coming from them I'd be running around in a banana outfit...

My iPad tried to auto tried to auto correct it to erotica. Knock before entering our tent is all I'm saying.

 

[ColinJ]

Erotica for me too!

Unless you get very lucky full tweed will cost a fortune. All charity shops are well aware of the retro scene.
Five Go Mad in Dorset is the cheap option.

Go for the World Naked Bike Ride next year- makes planning what to wear easier (and cheaper)
