The Look goes on...

[Botolph]

Hats are strictly functional for me - a helmet, that sort of thing.

Yeah I hear ya; if I don’t need one I don’t wear one.

 

[Clouseau]

Yep same here. A cap when it's raining or cold. At 195 cm i've already got problems with Doors or Tube corridors. I dont need to add cm with a hat.

Chris Difford of Squeeze absolutely nailed the Harrington look. It was a black knock off, like the one I had decades ago in my teens. No jeans. Of course Chris is older now and it would not look so good on him.

Excellent late entry by TWD on the Challenge.

I do like the 'Blue' Look a lot, and i really have to buy one of those FP Harringtons !

Cheapo Relco houndstooth.
Got them in PoW too
Polyester viscose and not that well made but they fit OK and are fine for travel, wash easily and keep their crease.

Nice. What tartan is that?

I have just stumbled upon a great bargain. A made in England Viyella shirt for £4! Probably unworn. Anyone want to guess the age? I would think 70s.

I'm not sure Mr K, it might be a Ralph Lauren hunting tartan. Nice shirt and yes, given that collar, I suspect 70's too.

Yes, the collar and the colours. The cuffs are sharply mitred, with provision for cufflinks (but single cuffs) another late 70's / 80's detail.

Pair of Stemar to go with it, Mr K.

 

[Jimmy Balantyne]

This is not a recent purchase but I loved these King Louie shirts back in the 74/75 time. Had a yellow one similar to this.

I admit I had to Google those. Lovely looking shoes. I see Harrods do them - perhaps in the spring...
