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

[Accy cyclist]

There is a chap who wanders around the market in Accrington always wearing wellingtons and a knotted hanky hat I kid you not.

I forgot to mention. Those 'wellies' are folded over 'navvy' style

to add to his eccentric look. Yes,he stands out but if he wants to stand out peacock style,he'll have to up his game as he certainly ain't the only weirdo wandering round Accy town centre!

Of the three, #3. Or get a Union Jacket

I went into the retro clothing shop i work in today,to be greeted with a surprise. The owner said he had something for me. He's found me a retro cricket sleeveless jumper! It looks quite old and it's 100 percent wool.

I read 'observation of the obvious',unlike you it seems. Look back at post 273,it's not made by Ralph Loren at all.

Monocle yes, but tweeds are a no no, this is the look you should be going for.

Safari Jackets are back in? Oh dear. I remember as a kid we were in a scout hut and one of the mail order catalogues, you know the ones that were fashionable back in the 70s and 80s. This had lurked in a dark corner for years, it was from the 70s and featured, after we had looked at the women's underwear section (come on, what you you expect from 15 year old boys?) safari suits and flares. The men wearing them looked incredibly camp, we were howling with laughter.
