Check the Jeans thread... I'd like to see some photos of MudInYerEye's jacket collection though.- Salv

What will, or did you get married in?
I wore a repro D/B from Rock-A-Cha, dark blue wool with dark red pinstripe, white vintage shirt, vintage tie with a stylised letter 'S', black shoes. It rained all day, hence the umbrellas, and yes, I know I should have the umbrella over my wife-to-be in the second photo... Sue's dress was...- Salv

You're being far too touchy and reading far too much into my post. It was a short post because there wasn't much to say, and I can't detect anything snippy in it. I do, however, detect a certain snippiness in your post, but maybe that's just me being touchy. It can be difficult to judge the...- Salv

Apple iPhone
Actually, when the iPod first went on sale in November 2001 it was only available in a 5 GB model. The 10 GB model would be introduced 4 months later, and the first 20 GB model another 3 months after that.- Salv

where can one buy correspondent shoes in the UK for a reasonable price?
The Remix shoes look exactly the same as some of the Violet Promotions shoes; I wonder if Violet buy them from Remix.- Salv

I'm almost ashamed to admit that the second pair of 1933 LVCs that I posted above didn't see the inside of a washing machine for the first two years. If they started to get a bit musty I'd leave them hanging outside on the line for a day so they'd get a good airing, and I steam cleaned them a...- Salv

Old-style hair...stuff...
What you end up using will depend on how thick your hair is - the thicker your hair the thicker the gloop will need to be to control it. Pomades range from thin - such as Dax Super Light, Sweet Georgia Brown in the purple tin - to medium - Black & White - to thick - Sweet Georgia Brown in the...- Salv

You could try Johnson Shoes - £85 per pair, and made for dancing, they have several styles of correspondent/spectator shoes. I've seen and handled their shoes and the soles are quite thin, but they're all hand made and not bad value for money. And Violet Promotions have several styles as...- Salv

Show us your suits
Actually Paddy, there is something a little odd about the left-hand (i.e. your left hand side) buttons. They seem to be lower than the button holes, so when the jacket is buttoned the two pairs of lower buttons aren't level. Maybe it's just the way you're standing, but all three standing photos... -
Vintage style bicycling
One of our fellow Loungers - nobodyspecial - rode it this year. He posted about it in the On yer bike! thread. Looks like a good day out.- Salv

On yer bike!
I hadn't thought to compare the Colnago to the other objects in the background - I just thought it looked so small because of the framing of the photo. Weird. Anyway ... some interesting looking bikes in those links. The Pedersen's have a small cult following in the UK, and the traditional...- Salv

That's fantastic, what a great colour! I phoned Wilier's UK distributor to see if they're available here, and they are, but they cost £109.95 which is just a little too much for me. The sweatshirt, also fantastic, is £144.95. I collected it last Saturday, but I have to make it road legal...- Salv

There used to be a company called Trad Tex who made older repros - I linked to them earlier in the thread - but their website has gone. I haven't found anyone else yet, but I'll let you know if anything turns up.- Salv

I went for a ride with some friends a couple of months ago out to Shere on the edge of the North Downs in Surrey. We had to ride over a fairly steep ridge to get to the village, and one of the guys was on a mountain bike with front suspension and he said afterwards that his front wheel kept...- Salv

Oh, yes, get yourself a proper road bike Paddy, and keep the off-road bike for off-road. The difference will amaze you. Good, reliable, well built road bikes start at about £400 - Ribble Cycles in Preston sell this one for £399 - possibly the best value bike you can get at the moment. If...- Salv
