@Accy cyclist i reckon these are right up your street - https://www.barkershoes.com/product...d=120204759889370572&ad_id=120204759889400572

What a ghastly clog!
Any one whom has the gall to wear such hideous footwear, is a cad & a bounder!
In my opinion , anyone who wishes to display clothing with ostentatious display of being a complete charlatan, by wearing the colours of the country's flag in such manner deserves my contempt.
We are British, and gentlemen should neverdescrnd to such oikish behaviour.
Leave that to the Americans.

I might've worn them or similar, in my going through another mod type phase (must've been my 5th one at least!) about 5/6 years ago, but definitely not these days! When you reach 60, like I did 3 years ago, you look daft in mod clothing, unless it's subtle and not union jack/parka stuff orientated. I see men and women in their 50's and 60's, even their 70's wearing stuff they used to wear in their teens, 20's and 30's. Grandmas in Mary Quant style clothing, with those white zip up plastic 1960's boots and Dusty Springfield hairdos is er slightly cringeworthy I'd say

Well - they are colourful!

The retro clothing shop's owner I work in, yesterday when asked which he preferred said the 'cream' one. Though, quote...You might not wear it as much as the darker one due to fear of getting marks on it. He's right, but like him I do slightly prefer the 'cream' one. 🤔

I bought the cream or beige, or 'sand' suit yesterday with 15 percent/£106.50 off, after asking for a discount after I bought my last suit off them to see they'd knocked 15 percent off the following day. As you can probably see I ordered the trousers in a 34 inch waist. I'm now nearly a 33 inch waist, so even though a 32 inch waist is still comfortable I thought a bit more room would be better on warmer days and I have to think about possible forthcoming middle age spread as I hope to wear this suit, like my other two Cordings suits (both also with a 34 inch waist) for many years to come.

I should've mentioned that with most Cordings trousers being made for braces/suspender use, like the ones with the above suit, unlike with wearing belts the waistband isn't close to the body as it would be with a tight belt, therefore allowing more air flow.🧐

It just make me think Hi-de-Hi! or the greeter on the door, they used to employ at ASDA.

It seems that the royal blue jacket I saw as more of a uniform than a summer suit has sold out! I'm thinking men were buying it to wear with beige/off white trousers, rather than with the matching waistcoat and trousers 'uniform' look. Even so, the jacket sold out very fast. I noticed the sizes disappearing soon after the various colour linen jackets came on sale. The other four are still available in most sizes, yet the 'in one's face electric blue' one seems so popular. 🧐 🤔

And the lout is unshaven! Either grow a beard, or be clean shaven. This lady git stubble look is horrible.

Still, at least he's wearing a tie, even if he did steal it from Rupert the Bear.

You do seem to know some rather strange ladies!

Well, I am a Scotsman and the official view of what constitutes a female up there is a little unusual to say the least. Mind you, it was ever thus!

Far North Scotland - and then a bit - as far as I recall

I suppose when it is dark all day and most of the night - and everyone is wearing skirts then it must be a bit difficult to work "things" out

 

[grldtnr]

My definition of of a proper beard is you got to be able to plait it in braids, or at least trim it with a Flymo.

Ain't no beard otherwise.

They only have the waistcoats in that colour left. Crazy that both the jacket and trousers have sold out! Every time I look at that pic'.....

I see a name badge on the left hand breast, or a white carnation in the lapel button hole.
