Rene Lacoste😆🎾🐊🤣

Well he did kinda rip off his idea!

 

[Inkss]

He definitely pique-d his interest

Saw this old photo from 1963 on my old school's facebook page. Superimposed it (badly) onto a googlemaps image of the street now, 59 years later.

Cool.

Not really one for two-button jackets, but liked the cut of this Dormeuil 'Scottie' tweed number.

Supa sharp, Inkss. I've been more into my 2 button jackets as of late.

The temp here in San Diego is 10° cooler than London right now. Stay cool 😎 and hydrated my friends.

It's bloody mental here in Scotland!

Tempting... Nope, I'll leave it.

Living next to the 4.5 square mile concrete and asphalt slab that is Heathrow Airport isn't ideal in this weather. Got an A/C, so it's almost bearable. New York City summers are worse.

Speaking of Scotland, my Dormeuil jacket was made by Robert Dick of Dennistoun in Glesga.
I thought it might have been a rarity down here in London seeing as it was made by a small bespoke tailor in Scotland, but apparently not. It was recognised as soon as I wore it out at the weekend.
I was very surprised when I overheard someone in the restaurant say to their friend, "Check out that Dick's jacket." when I walked past.

Badoom tish!
I like the jacket Inkss. Did you drop some timber too or is it just the camera angle doing you some favours?
Still can’t bring myself to do two-button jackets. I have a beautiful new hopsack blazer in for surgery now getting the third button hole added. Even if I don’t fasten it and let the lapel roll over the top button I still like the symmetry of a 3B. Watch this space for details.

I had to take off a few pounds. I went to one of my first non-funereal functions since Covid in February (black is forgiving), and found none of my trousers fit and my jacket buttons were hanging on for dear life. Decided I better cut down on my porklife and get some exercise.
