I'd rather skewer my eyes with chisels than wear a Man U top or any other footie top.

A mate once lent me a football top, a Man U away one, because that was he had, to avoid going out in my work shirt. And I seriously got loads of eye off of the birds. I felt like Richard Dawkins in David Beckham's body.

:wacko:

I'm sorry, I couldn't put-up with a bird who only wanted me for my football shirt, that's really shallow.











still, a shag's a shag I guess... I'm off to JJB sports...

Rohan style baggies, light practical comfortable and very quick drying.
Rohans were done to death 25 years ago. Now they're just a sign that you have more money then sense: "Look! I've spent loads of money on cotton/polyester slacks!"

Or even worse: "Look I've been watching Ray Mears and can start fires by rubbing myself".

And why be enthusiastic about trousers being 'very quick drying'? Are you incontinent or something?

I like men in NICE 3/4 trousers ... hubby has several ... but wouldn't wear them very often - generally linen mix ones not Chav ones (in my opinion and thats what counts!).

OK fashion victims. is there an age beyond which a T shirt ( forgive me if they're not called that now) with any sort of logo is best avoided. I always put a cardigan over my " this machine kills fascists" top if I'm going somewhere special :blush:

Well I spend a lot of time doing out-doorsy stuff, so compared to Jeans it's an advantage. In my defence, I did say Rohan style baggies. Being Man at Millets I get some other brand in the sales...:biggrin:
I did once have a Rohan Travel Suit though and it was absolutely brill.

BTW... love the word Slacks, it needs to get out more often :blush:

Okay, you've told us what NOT to wear, so what should a bloke aged 52, bald and slim be wearing if it's not GAP chinos and a polo shirt? There isn't a lot of choice. In summer I swop my chinos for traditional shorts and I would NEVER wear a football shirt.

I'm afraid it's Blue Harbour at M&S...then before you know-it Beige will be your fave colour!
This is getting to the nub of the problem, Too old for Fat-Face, too young to die...

Brown jeans, blue check Ben Sherman, brown shoes with a line down the middle, tasteful brown v-neck jumper. That's me today, looking good and feeling fine B)

What about a tweed cap with check Viyella shirt, green wool tie, Pringle sweater, Barbour jacket, jumbo cords and brown brogues with steel segs then?

(Not me - someone I know. He lives in the Isle of Man)

Now this is a dilemma I often face...all my T-shirts have Logo's or are charity event cycle shirts. Problem is, a Cardigan doesn't completely cover the t-shirt design.... if I owned a Cardigan that is.
