HERE AND NOW

Yep understood, it's rare for us to get super hot weather where I live and Sunspel T-Shirts might be a good choice in that situation

I work in a job you can wear a suit, so I do. No tie these days but that's so conformist I'm thinking of the disreputable hospital consultant look of navy pinstripe and loud tie with top button undone - as a **** you (I never used to do my top button up anyway).

Used to be a thing (with a tie pin and a BD)

I remember my father often did what you described (he wasn’t a hospital consultant though). I recently wore a tie for a wedding, first time for years.

From a few years ago.

Took the new Clarks Originals out today. Supremely comfortable but I am not sure about the thickness of the new laces - they had a tendency to slip undone. Probably be better when some of the newness wears off…

Yes, I think they have. Not as ‘rich’ a colour now perhaps.

Already very hot here, so another t-shirt, season appropriate purchase…

Slack ties always remind me of these guys 😎

I like the double stitching on the collar, the Soffe brand shirts I like have that on their military t's. Seems to keep the collar from getting distorted.

TBH I am pleasantly surprised with the quality as I bought it online without seeing it before (was cheap at half price, €17). Cotton has a very nice feel, and is quite thick but breathable. just a little bit oversized, but good for a summer look.
I also like the purple colour. I had a plain FP polo in the same colour in the 80s. Funnily @cerneabbas found the same on EBay recently - but I don’t think it was his size.

Good price for a nice cotton shirt.

Good price for a nice cotton shirt.

Liked the idea to have one pocket tee from each historical brand.

If the quality is the same as over here, I wager the Wrangler shirt is the most durable.
