The Look goes on...

[Clouseau]

Funnily they put two Stars like on the National Football team Jerseys (Two World cups titles) ?

I dont wear marinières but have got some nice breton sweaters from Armor Lux.

Interesting @covskin as i was just reading some articles about the Apaches (not the Indians, but the Parisian thugs from late 19h to early 20h century) and the marinière was one of the items they wore, with workers jackets (chore coats), caps, and foulards.

It's from a couple of years ago, I just liked the stars.

Interesting thing about the Apaches is that they had their own look, dance, music, and even weapon...

Sorry for the digression...

Well @Yorky a few days ago you said something about the fact that everytime you saw a picture of me you needed rose tinted glasses, and i don't count the numerous (dated) attacks you did against French or me, usually off topic. Frankly i dont really mind, but if you like to give it out you will have to be prepared to take it too...

Touché, it's just that in the U.K, marsupial is an insult against people with mental disabilities, there's being non PC and NON PC. Have at you Messieur, you scoundrel.

Well lost in translation again. Not intended.
Don't wear that béret again and it won't happen again !

@Yorky those berets aren’t too far away from the very-soft-peaked Kangol caps often seen worn by older Black fellas over here, but the Kangol and kangaroo logo won’t go over well.

I like Breton shirts and have accumulated a few different versions:

Joe Fresh - cream, black hoops
LL Bean - cream, navy hoops
Uniqlo - Picasso style white, royal blue hoops, white shoukders
Uniqlo - White and navy broad hoops
Breton Shirt Co - Royal blue, white and red hoops
American Apparel - scarlet red, navy hoops.

plus a couple of hooped t shirts in similar style. I feel a ‘collection, photo when I get round to it!

Was that an apology, that I have just witnessed

Yep a bit... The movie is supposed to take place in more or less the same time/era i think ?...
The 3 use/way-weapon was invented by a French and then copied...

Picked up this Bookster harrington. Khaki whipcord outer, tattersall inner, acetate sleeve inner. Fit is great, not blousy and not skinny. Warm enough for this transitional weather, and, in my humble, “different” enough to post in TLGO. Granted it isn’t a tech garment, but it’s a luxurious take on the harrington.
