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

[Accy cyclist]

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

Possibly later today, as i'm working in the retro clothing shop in the morn'.

i recommend a nonchalant pose on the accrington library staircase languidly stroking the owl* - great stained glass in the background.

* not a euphemism.

A owl?

Some of these jackets look like they were made from recycled deck chairs.

That's not Accy's mistaken purchase from Amazon donated to the library is it?

"Working" being local vernacular for "burgling".

It's a feature of the library, fondly remembered by accy girl jeanette winterson.

I was thinking more mannequin

Its like Mr Benn. Accy dresses up in tweeds, steps out of the dressing room and its 1921 all over again.

Most definitely! I have a paisley pattern jacket it is fab. I also recommend a natty hat to go with the blazer.

The owner of the retro clothing shop I'm kind of working in tells me that striped blazers are 'in' this spring/summer. I hope not as I like to stand out in an individualistic(is there such a word?🤔) way. I don't want every Tom,Dick or Harry looking like me,or more to the point,me looking like them!! 🧐 Imagine Bozo Johnson in a boating blazer!!! 😬

 

[Drago]

I think what you're saying Accy is that you want to look retro-cool, without stepping over the event horizon into being a full on dandy.

I reckon Accy needs a title “Lord of Interesting Threads”. In more ways than one!

In in accy?
Does that mean i've missed the london wave again?
(I haven't been in for donkeys' years)
Am intrigued i must admit by the "kind of working in". Do you just waft around as part of some devilish marketing plot to create a new in scene/venue,like a latter day blitz kid?

I'm kind of working in

Maybe Drago had it right after all
