I've seen blokes wearing sheepskin flying jackets with flat caps.That just isn't right!🧐
At there best with a beret
For most of my (50 year) working life I wore a suit and tie every day, most evenings and all Sunday (long story).
I retired 12 years ago and apart from a couple of funerals the suits** have not been out of the wardrobe.
**they must be 20+ years old but good merino wool AND.......they still fit me
Now, its joggers, T shirt and fleece.

To quote Morrissey during his tenure in The Smiths "I were black on the outside, because black is how I feel on the inside"...
You were a vicar then? 😊For most of my (50 year) working life I wore a suit and tie every day, most evenings and all Sunday (long story).

A tale of three hats (and some spats) in 'the shop' today. The 'topper' Is from the 1920's. It's for sale in its original box along with those spats. My mutt was sporting his new hat, which as you can is a deerstalker. Then finally I decided to take a 'selfie' of the maroon 'vintage Lyle and Scott maroon cashmere, sweater/jumper/pullover I purchased for a tenner. 🧐

A 'bargain' is only a bargain if you need, not just want it, so they say. These boots to me are a bargain even though I do not need them.
There isn't a mention of where they were made or who made them.🤔

It says delivery time 3 to 4 days, but as far as I can see all their stores are in mainland Europe. I doubt they'd get here before a fortnight, never mind 3 to 4 days!

The website says they're made in Spain at their own (shoepassion) factories.

Seems a bit of a shame to buy spanish-made shoes from a german company when the UK has such a strong shoe making tradition!
