The Look goes on...

[cerneabbas]

But surely...

Brilliant and apparently based partly on a famous cricketer !
There is another sketch 'Doctor George Whitebread group therapy'.

On the belt subject,I always used to match belts to footwear but in the last couple of years I wear Navy belts with Navy trousers or jeans.
I tend to wear Argyle socks if I think that my clothes need a colourful addition but a multi coloured belt could do the same job.

The problem with matching your belts to footwear means that every time that you buy new shoes in a different shade of brown/tan/ox blood etc you need to find a belt that matches and to be honest I have too many shoes and belts as it is,plus finding a belt that matches Sebago 'oiled leather' is going to be a difficult task.

Why complicate things...

Winter?: black leather
Formal?: black leather
Blue/white stripe grosgrain
Next

I suppose it helps that my non-black footwear is all summer casual

Perhaps you will never know, but I always wondered why the cops (sorry I meant to say bent b******s) took my belt and shoes off of me every time I got nicked. It must have been to compare them, to see if they were the same colour.

As well as slashing my made to measure jacket with a Stanley knife and trying to frame me and my brother, but failed because they got their lies wrong in court. etc etc.

They were corrupt twats back then now they are just useless twats(and probably corrupt)

Forgot to post these ones.

Good clips them Donkey.

On the Monty Python 4 Yorkshiremen sketch, if It had been a Yorkshire mod and skin with them, they would have probably lived in a Clarks desert boot and Doc Martin shoe box in't middle of t'road.

Shoe box? luxury!

Did you know that… Inspector Clouseau wore Aquascutum in the Pink Panther movies ?

Just re watched 2001 A space odyssey recently, and didn't know that the costumes were designed by Hardy Amies, it's a pity that people weren't dressing like he suggested in 2001 never mind 2019.
Found some sketches he did for the film.

Pretty cool flight suit.

Hardy also looked cool.

Nice waffle knit candy for the skins, designed by Hardy Amies.

@Yorky, 2001 is also one of my favorite movies (with probably all the other Kubrick's).

The Fred Perry X Margaret Howell capsule collection is now available. I quite like the Tennis bomber but the price i don't like !

Reggie Perrin is in 2001. It’s a stunning film.
I just saw the MH stuff. Predictably looks decent but ridiculous prices. And while I like the plain white vintage look of tennis gear, I prefer my bomber with the red and blue edges than the plain white one.

So the Fred Perry laurel leaf was originally green, now that rings a bell - Fred Perrys as actual tennis shirts.

Don't know if you saw the plain black one ? Not bad...

How do you maintain The Look on holiday in warm climes? Especially if you are still trying to match shoes and belt?!

It was never an issue back in 1969 as Clacton was less challenging...

One of my attempts here in Northern Cyprus:

Shirt - Givenchy
Trousers - Boss
Belt - PoloRL
Espadrilles - Missoni + Castaner
Sunglasses - Persol

Just had a look.

What about the oversized polo shirt? More reminiscent of 1980’s style? I guess that would be the MH heritage.

I couldn’t see where the stuff is made?

From what i've red somewhere Mr K, all the stuff is made in Portugal (not sure about the plimsoles though).

Yes the oversized polos are interesting, they remind me of the ones from the Nigel Cabourn collab, but the collars seem bigger.

I will try to drop in the FP shop next week to have a look at the clobber 'in the flesh'… If they have it...
