WAYWRN - Peacock Edition - Page 55

Hal, you are awesome. I love the watering can. Is that vintage as well?

The hat, trousers and jacket are from the 1950´s (or 1940´s). Socks from Pantherella i brand new. The brogue shoes from Trickers are rather new but second hand. The  water jug is definitely vintage.

The wool cardigan must be homeknitted and the tie in wool comes from an old teacher. The jacket was called a Mororcycle jacket at that time (1940-50´s). The plus-fours trousers were very popular then, both among men and school boys. But I am not so old.

This the first outfit I have seen you post that doesn't work for me. In the close-up shot where you can't see the bottom half, is it looks fine, but from a distance, the combination of the short coat, breeches, multicoloured socks and big shoes just comes across as being a random assortment of clothes, rather than your usual coherent combinations.

I figured there was no better place for my first post than the Peacock thread!

My ensemble for a late afternoon Saturday lunch --- excuse the poor iphone picture quality;

niidawg, thanks for the feedback. The light reflected off of those pants and made them appear a little brighter than they were, nonetheless, would you have gone for more of a rust color or stayed away from red tones overall with the jacket?

Also what about those pants with a navy jacket instead?

Rambo, I debated my black Arca's with it, but they just looked way off with the jacket, the jacket is actually more of a tan with a grey window pane detail. The pants are also bit more muted than the lighting insinuates. Thanks for the feedback, these are the types of things that I look forward to learning. I have also enjoyed peacocking a little, but have just recently started venturing there with my wardrobe, so this is a new/learning experience for me.

Thanks I will keep that in mind.
