I've stopped now.

Wouldn’t mind one in Air Force blue or royal blue @Inkss The USAF did them in dark blue for a minute before changing to green for survival. See Jimmy Stewart in ‘Strategic Air Command’. I recently got a Levi’s repro in navy so I got close enough.

Just found this pic of me on a website taken around 93/94 on the Isle of Wight August Bank Holiday Mod rally at Ryde Theatre. I'm wearing a suit that I had MTM at my old tailors.

Found this one also, I'm not in this, but could easily have been taken back in the mid 60's.

Cheers DJ. What I like about the stuff Cernak's stocks is that the measurements are always spot on, so I save a trip to my seamster. I seldom find stuff from UK sellers that fits my non-standard frame without alterations. Luckily the Euro and US brands he sells have greater varieties in cut and sizing.

You got a good fit with that one @Inkss

I had a black and white houndstooth jacket that didn’t fit well so it’s going on eBay. Went looking for a replacement and got this one off eBay ...

Inkss that is so smart!

Less smart - and WAY off topic - is myself in this video. At least you see me in a surfer jacket at one point, and catch a brief glance of me aged 18.

Reminds me of a Tony Hancock episode.
