Blazing Blazers

[Matt Deckard]

Very Collegiate 1920's style. works well with a boater or panama hat and a pair of linen trousers.

Too striped for me.

 

[Wild Root]

Ah come on, have a little imagination! That's a perfect 20's styled coat that one could wear on campus. Perfect with some ivory wool pants, a boater and a Ukulele

Twenty Three Skidoo!

 

[Jack Scorpion]

Nah... I'm a brave guy when it comes to standing out in fashion, but I don't think I could wear that around campus.

Mycroft/WildRoot

Could be a nice ensemble for the trip to Oxford Mycroft.

WildRoot, that 23 Skidoo reference reminds me of a song- you know the John Prine one? Jesus, the missing years?

[Wild Root]

Hummm. It reminds you of that? It reminds me of the 20's.

Any way, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I would totaly wear that coat!

Ya got to think 1920's! Things were wild in the Jazz age.

[BellyTank]

You tokkinn a me WR?

Striped blazers and white flannels? sure, that's about as English collegiate as it gets- a boater too- punting on the river? that's classic '20s-'30s Ox-Bridge.

[Mycroft]

Defently, I could row in that puppy and win in style.

When I was a photographer at Butlins (famous British sea-side holiday camps), part of my uniform was a bright blue and yellow striped blazer-that is tame by comparison! I actually quite liked mine.

 

[Mycroft]

Yea, it is kinda resorty.

 

[Mycroft]

I like the idea boating in it with a straw hat and in a gondola.

 

[Wild Root]

See, I knew some of you would catch on! But, that look was also popular over here in the US in those days! The English weren't the only well dressed!

Root.

 

[Mycroft]

Very true.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Still time to get one. I should go to the store and try it on.
