What are you wearing today??

[Dinerman]

Pretty much my standard "It's really cold out" gear.
1943 RCAF jacket
bean boots

Today.

Detail doesn't show in this light, it is broderie anglaise with a satin bib and satin turn ups on the sleeves. A modern dress yet I thought it had a vintage feel about it - if maybe just classic [huh] .
That's until I can get my hands on some real stuff! At the moment I spend my time getting heart broken on ebay :cry:.

Ah you all look so fabulous!

Crazydaisy - Fear not, you look an absolute dream.

This is lovely, crazydaisy. I do wish more women would post in this thread! (My excuse? I don't own a camera, and the men here don't pay me enough compliments![bad] )

Maybe for some of us it's from having had things happen to make us revert to being a bit on the shy side?

Cool!

Dman, Love that sweater! Is it a dart team item?

Today.

That look is simply lovely.

Dman, Love that sweater! Is it a dart team item?

I'd bet it was- I got it at the thrift shop a few weeks back. It's hand knit and has the name "Gary" knit into the left pocket. I refer to the sweater by that name.

I shocked everyone at work with how modern & casual I looked. I think our heat wave did it to me.

 

[Michaelshane]

I want a jacket like that.....^^^

 

[PSK123]

I was just about to say...

Fantastic look as always, but that jacket is something else! Simply gorgeous, not obnoxious like some similar two-tones!

I tried one of the 70´s ties I´ve never worn before, cause they seemed too loud and wide for me. It turned out surprisingly well!

My outfit from the other day, sorry but it is yet another highland one

I am finding myself wearing waist coats more and more. There is just something so dapper and practical about them. I am delighted they seem to be making something of a comeback recently.

Cheers

Carlos...I'm diggin' that sport coat.

 

[volatile]

Love the tie. I'm a sucker for brown.

Carlos...I'm diggin' that sport coat.

Thank you! I love getting compliments from people with such a great taste.

The coat... It´s modern, 100% wool, the tag says YORN... This picture of Gary Cooper inspired me http://cooplover.com/tallandone55.jpg
And what do you think about the tie?

 

[kools]

Great picture...I've been on the lookout for something similar for a long time.

As for the tie: To be honest, the width & (more importantly) the fabric of 1970s ties is a deal breaker for me. I would consider it to be an easy fix as great ties are so readily available.
