Thanks for your support, guys. Finishing in the chasing pack is not a bad place to be. Pity 'one of us' didn't win it but never mind.

 

[Mr Knightley]

Let's see some more pics of all these great purchases!

All posted before except the scarf (no Scottish ancestry so picked some in-laws tartan instead). The other harrington as seen in real life, so obviously I was lying about the cummerbunds and socks...

(forgot monkey boots, now added)

My JCrew Madras shirt. All the other recent purchases, i already posted pictures !

The picture was taken just in front of the pub where we had our last London meet-up. I bought the shirt the day before at the JCrew Regent street store, 50% off.
Still got the shirt, but not the beard.

Oh, I forgot...

A DPC pork-pie-bucket-hat
A University of Edinburgh tartan scarf.

Sometimes, just sometimes, the bugger nailed it for style.

Dors bien, mon copain.

[Okay Styleforum, DON'T let me attach pics of Johnny Hallyday!]

I don't know what's going wrong with the site today.

[Fixed - different browser - see next page.]

 

[Man-of-Mystery]

Maybe a different browser...

He was a kind of institution here. BTW, like a lot of famous French… He was of Belgian origin.

 

[Man-of-Mystery]

That hadn't escaped my notice.

Like the Inspector, I have shared pics throughout the year of most of my acquisitions so here is a brief summary of my favourite buys:

Spring / summer:


Vetra workwear jacket from JS with a new webbing belt from Rohan, which I forgot to include in my list.

I prefer the jacket in a higher contrast fit, as here with dark jeans:



Perhaps my favourite items this year - la Portegna, here and above.


Tie from the Prince's Trust 'Tomorrow's Store'

 

[Mr Knightley]

Autumn / winter:


The bargain of the year - Driway raincoat


Stetson gloves and la Borsa cap from Prague

 

[Mr Knightley]

Perhaps the most outré purchase I made this year was to buy a piece of cotton cloth from a tourist information shop in Somerset. I have finally got round to taking it to my tailor and he is going to make up two pocket squares from it

Im actually tempted to buy another flat cap, not sure what i would wear it with though, apart from a trusty donkey or engineer coat.
