Spring and summer boating type striped blazer to make me stand out from the riff raff...help me decide

[Justified_Sinner]

Heck,yes it is like a butcher's apron!!🧐

Same material!

Come n @Accy cyclist , don’t be shy, let’s see you dressed in your jacket.

You'll have to wait till i wear it on its first outing!🧐

Same material!

Yes,i bet it is. Do you like it?🤔
It doesn't look very 'fitted'. The one i've bought is 'tailored'. I always think tailored is better than 'classic fit',if you can get away with it.

No. It is very unstructured. If you want a fitted one, it is not this!
I do like it very much.

I've only been in Clitheroe pubs in the day time,for a swift half. I've never done a night time pub crawl there. I remember it once being a bit rough,as groups of 'lads' from Blackburn ,Burnley even further away places like Keighley and Bolton would clash with each other in pubs and surrounding streets. It was always in the local paper for trouble,but the introduction of wine and gin bars seems to have calmed the place down a bit.

It was never really rough when I was young, even though I must admit that gordon*, somewhat grumpy but essentially amiable landlord of The Buck, kept a baseball bat behind the bar and some furniture got thrown though the pub window one night when I was elsewhere - everyone just spent the evening criss-crossing between pubs (not much else to do there) - very boring to stay in one pub all evening - I might well do if spoons landed there.
* strangely I half thought of him today as I had my plague hair cut - Hungarian barber asked when it was last that long - i said late teens - and kinda remembered gordon taking the piss out of it.
The place for good beer in the town is The New Inn, though it has a certain reputation for being the haunt of teachers - and in my experience sloshing the beer into glasses - both good reasons for the arrival of a spoons.

I received an email from these last night,trying to get me to buy this one,which was one of my three question choices.

They told me it's the last one in my size (42 Long arm) and 'once it's gone it's gone' blah blah.
Please tell me the one i bought is much better and this one looks like a deckchair!

 

[Accy cyclist]

You'd think he'd have a chap whose job it was to advise him on such matters

He does. It'll probably be the same chap who tests his bath water temperature and boiled egg temperature.🧐 Maybe 'chap' thought it best to just let him do 'his thing' that day.🤔

 

[Accy cyclist]

Even the same hankerchief

Er hum! It's not a handkerchief,it's a pocket square and if you look closely the one the older Charles is wearing is blue. The younger Charles is wearing a violet,lilac pocket square.🧐

 

[newfhouse]

Hum,looking at it,it's maybe a bit too tight/small? 🤔 Ah well,i'll finish my cup of coffee off then try it on.

Edit....I've just tried it on. It fits perfectly. Even the sleeves are long enough,which is unusual as i have quite long arms!!

Is that picture above your mirror really a portrait of Boris Johnson eating a sausage? I can’t unsee it now.

Er,not quite.

 

[newfhouse]

Thank goodness. It reminded of Steve Bell’s depiction.

I always think Rorschach blobs are smutty pictures.

Thats just the light

Thats just the light

Perhaps his mum put it on the wrong wash.

She still does his washing when he visits.

So Accy, when can we see a pic of you in the middle of Accrington standing out above the riff raff?
