The men's dress style thread..

[MrGrumpy]

On topic in terms of style but what are your go to Sun glasses ? I’ve been through various sports style due to my past cycling hobby etc , on and off the bike . However I still go back to a classic pair of Ray Bans I bought over 30 yr ago on holiday in Lanzarote , cannot even remember how many pesetas they cost me ?! However I’ve not seen anything like them since ! Oh and these are the proper Bausch and Laumb ones . Proper bullet proof as well !

American Optical Original Pilot with satin steel frames and olive lenses. Good enough for the Apollo astronauts to wear in space and on the ground, so good enough for me.

I had a pair of Radolph's in the past, but they're getting silly expensive and these are near identical,

Persol 741s (a folding version of the 649s) for the Steve McQueen look

I have these, a present from Mrs W many years ago. However given I need to carry reading glasses when I go anywhere, I tend to leave at home most of the time. As it’s not a good look having your pockets bulging with pairs of glasses.

Oakley all the way.
I've had loads of pairs over the years but currently have some frameless ones for the bike, some aviator style and some plasticy ones. All the manes crrently escape me.
I wanted some classic Frogskins for ages and eventually bought some in Spain on holiday. They constantly slipped down my face and got stolen along with my Navara. Wasn't sorry to see them gone really.

Mmm! 🤔 🧐

Always think of the forthcoming season when thinking about what to buy! 🧐

I thought about getting one of those. But most of the time I find with cordings that I can’t get one of the items in their 3 piece suits in my size.

Try being a 54 long!

That would a too large overcoat rather than jacket.

I do like this jacket and the trousers to match (suit), but I already have a beige, and a navy blue Cordings suit(s) and the days we can wear linen suits aren't that often, around here. 🤔

They don't make a matching waistcoat for the above, yet they offer one which I bought, for the beige and navy ones. 🤔

Plus that linen jacket costs more than the fawn corduroy jacket, yet it's half the material weight, and flimsy looking/feeling compared to the better made, robust corduroy jacket. Yes, I know they are totally different items, but in short you're paying more for a bit of linen that you are for much more practical and better made corduroy with satin lining..in my opinion.

Serengeti Nuvino 7316. Sporty enough to wear on the bike, casual enough to wear on the street. Driver's photo chromatic lenses to boot.
Cost effective to only have one pair when you are paying for varifocal prescription lenses. No longer available apparently.

I see Accy has been busy on X again...
