I guess you must feel continually anxious given you are less than20 miles from the border, just in case we come raiding again.👿☠️
But why would we want to with folk badly dressed and with body odour and that’s just the ladies.😉

I have the Hilditch & Key poet fedora in black, and in dark grey. I also have the one below in 'electric blue'. I looked at the one below the other day, thinking about buying it, but they only had/have the 60cm size left, which on wearing their 60cm poet fedoras, which are slightly loose, my 59cm electric blue fedora fits perfectly, especially in windy conditions which like to take a wide brim hat off one's head!🧐 However, such a reduction makes this hat tempting! Hat sizers could be used if on buying it, the 60cm hat tends to take off in windy conditions.🤔

Northamptonshire want their rose back Accy. It better be returned qhick, or the ne'er do wells of Poshshire will be up for a fight...and they do like a fight!

But not always the case in the days when men wore detachable collars. They might've only had the one shirt, which couldn't be washed, dried then ironed from being taken off after work, before the following morning. Hence the detachable collars, which were changed instead of washing the whole shirt.🧐

One good reason for detachable collars is that they are replaceable. just chucked (strictly speaking downgraded for shoe polish rags) a shirt whose collar had worn through. Rest of it was basically OK.

At one point in the 1850's they started selling disposable paper collars, this ended in the 1920's when washing machines became more popular and affordable

On two shirts I have carefully cut the collars off them and can now wear them in the summer as casual collarless shirts. The body and cuffs were in excellent condition, only the collars let them down.
See, saving the planet, looking trendy and not spending any money. Win win win.

If you ask me nicely, I’ll share another shirt story that has made me happy over the last few years.

£34.30 a pair, when you get another 30 percent off the sale price, by signing up to their emails etc. Obviously they won't be the best shoes out there, but they look quite decent, especially for such a low price! I do like those tobacco ones! I think I saw King Charles wearing similar the other week!🤔

They are aren't they! I love that orangy/tan shade! 😍 If I bought both pairs, which I most likely will do, I'll save them for the summer months, to wear with my linen suits, cotton chinos, and maybe even a fairly light weight, chocolate brown tweed suit I have.🤔
