WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

[steveoffice]

Nah I was going to just past Matt’s e-mail as to what he was actually wearing, then I figured “why bother?”

you guys email each other what you are wearing?

 

[Cotton Dockers]

Wait - there are two different people on this casual menswear thread who are friends with dropkick murphys sweater guy?

 

[Botolph]

you guys email each other what you are wearing?

Hola!

That of a punk rocker who dresses like an accountant

So if you are a punk rocker you are supposed to have a spiky haircut, a needle in the nose, and wear black leather and DMs all your life ?
Punk is a state of mind, not a costume.

Found a 1970's? Viyella shirt. 55% wool, Made in England and virtually unworn, I'd say.

Great pick up! O'Connell's released a few shirts in the original blend this season, glad to see Viyella is remaking it (or whatever mill makes for them).

Interesting stuff. I see they are made in Canada. When I was in the country a couple of years ago I bought a similar style of Viyella BD also made in Canada, but with the 20% wool blend.



The old original blend seems much softer to the touch.

Such nice shirts... I wish they fit me correctly. I’m a 17/34 so the wrong proportions for Viyella. And that’s vintage ‘70s number was a great score, Mr. K!

Thanks mate - it was £4!

I am normally a 15.5 x 33 and have to get sleeves shortened with many shirts. It’s possible the sleeves on the vintage one have been shortened, as it just plonked on?

Great fit Gary! Hope you are getting on OK in Chile despite the protests. I have customers and friends there, and it all sounds pretty intense.

I wanted to ask about the Inis Meain. NMWA seems to prefer the tunic, rollneck or mock neck format. Do you mind my asking if you have any suggestions who has a good selection and/or occasional sales on IM crewnecks?

Thank you. All good here with me but it's sad to see what's going on. I'm seeing it more in Punta Arenas.

For Inis Meain, I used to get mine from End Clothing but it looks like they don't stock them anymore. I'm not sure where else to get them, though.

O'Connell's is so cool, I just went there a few weeks ago. Amazing the piles of rad **** they have just lying around

Ah well, thanks anyway Gerry.

Anyone else have any pointers on where to get hold of IM crewnecks in alpaca\silk or linen?
