The Look goes on...

Wow, so light, so stiff, so comfortable, and like all good shoes can be sent back to be resoled

Purely functional, for hills and mountains not everyday use!

Look great @covskin

On a different note, the current Friday Challenge may be of interest to some here:

One for that bloke with the bright red Crombie perhaps?

Dinner out with the missus - cross post from the FC ...

The Friday Challenge poll is up - no sign of a red Crombie though...

Still don’t understand the voting though. Leading photo features bad shoulders and divots.

Dunno about you fellas but I like this daks suit I got for pittance seeing as the crotch was ripped which I repaired, could do worse a think

@Kingstonian I don't like to comment when a challenge is under way, but now this one is over I can only say that I agree. FCs are a bit of fun really and the voting can be bizarre at times. Even on occasions when I have been fortunate enough to do well, I have sometimes known deep down that mine was not the best entry - either in terms of the fit or the picture quality...

@donkeyjacket2 that one is very close to my older MiE DAKS (now gone, sadly) and pretty close to my current Made in Turkey number. Both mine are / were only 2-piece, of course. Where was yours made?

 

[donkeyjacket2]

says made in great britain for simpson picadilly so im gonna assume 1980s atleast.

Yeah, the relatively low notch on the lapel suggests that era.

 

[donkeyjacket2]

I think its certainly older than 30 years cos the pockets have yellowed from age(or i just hope the person hasnt pissed themselves who had it previously lol) I should have this suit what was made in west germany coming soon too what i got for 15 quid, it should be a similar tone to a leather waistcoat i have hopefully.

I have no idea what people are thinking when they vote for these challenges. That was confirmed when the outstanding Inkss entry did not win a while back and it turned into a best Harrington show instead.

It would be best if you could just see the results without voting and inadvertently adding credence to the competition. I suppose you could just vote for every entry so that no harm was done. Except there is a vote limit in most cases, so scratch that idea.

The scarf certainly completes the picture better than previous attempts. Little details make all the difference.

 

[donkeyjacket2]

I agree, you don't really see people do there scarves like that these days either from my experience

 

[Mr Knightley]

It’s quiet round here. My Formal Friday attire this week gave a passing nod to the Look. Speaking of Fridays the latest Challenge is dressing up tweed. May still be time to enter...
