In Praise of Cardigans

[Dogtrousers]

I think cord and moleskin both have their place.
As to your photo , I'm not sure if it's due to the camera angle, but that looks a lot like a Zoot Suit. Very natty!

Accy right this minute

Since they invented fleeces I've barely worn a jumper, full zip fleece and not with a hood

Likewise, with the addition of a quarter zip micro fleece under my fleece for those colder days.
Also don't like hoods, mainly because they interfere with peripheral vision, but I do have a selection of hats for cold / wet / hot weather, but no baseball caps or 'benny' hats, too common - !

It takes years to get a baseball cap nicely dirtied up and grimed in.

Pleased to see red corduroy trousers not on your list 👍

I had a pair of them as a teenager. Red corduroy flares even!

I didn't know Dunn & Co once had shops! 🤔 I suppose they'll have closed a long while ago, like Greenwood's. I used to look in the Greenwood's shop window in my younger days and think "Mmmm, I hope I don't end up wearing those type of clothes"! Now, If they were still open I'd open an account there!! https://livefortweed.co.uk/greenwoods/

Dunn & Co. was a chain of men's clothing stores in the UK that specialized in hats and formal wear. The company was founded by George Arthur Dunn, who began selling hats in Birmingham in 1887. The company eventually went into administration and was wound up in 1996.

I think they were entirely store-based retailers.

I would've thought the same, till I read this.

I might get a cardigan when I'm old.. Until then, a zip-up fleece will do.

My mum had my little brother and I wearing matching cardigans when we were kids. Each cardigan had the first letter of our name embroidered on the left breast side.

I now possess 3 zip up fleeces, a brown suede jacket and a pair of boat shoes

You're saying that no-one sells 'pre stressed' or 'aged' baseball caps - ?
I'm shocked that this niche hasn't already been exploited - !
