Well yeah, if he's anything like as much of a hard nut as his avatar suggests, we're going to have to get fully tooled up..

Anyway.. Nattty jackets.. Mustn't distract from the sartorial musings ..

Bandage- that's the new black... preferably unironed.

Did you mean unironic badinage

Beige though. Don't ever wear beige. Life's too short for beige.

Beige is ok as long as you wear something colourful with it,like Canucks Traveller said. I've had a pair of beige smart shorts for years. They're getting on now and after umpteen washes have turned more stone than beige. I wouldn't wear them with a beige or stone top,but i would with a solid dark colour or something like this.

Cycling as we know is a very middle class pastime,so i suppose some of you have been to Oxford University. Did any of you wear one of these blazers?🤔 https://www.walters-oxford.co.uk/boating-blazers

Great if you’re going for a job as the local cricket umpire!

For some reason, this makes me think of the shopkeeper from ‘Mr Benn’!

Mr Benn was a bit after my watching children's tv days. Did he wear paisley shirts?🤔

Rolled up sleeves! I remember that being fashionable in the 1980's.

Oddly, after looking him up, no he didn’t... no idea why he came into my head!

Oh dear! It's frightfully Miami Vice. Gentlemen don't roll up their jacket cuffs. They also bother to shave........and don't wear sunglasses that they think make them look cool.

Rather than utter prats.

Maybe he wore them on his days off.

Accy, no doubt at all, the first link you posted.

Mind you, before you press the buy it now button, please do keep in mind I wear Crocs.
