What are you wearing today??

[Flipped Lid]

You look fantastic. As a devoted Anglophile, one of the things I enamor most about the English is there affinity for and their talent for gardening. That is a beautiful garden in the background and you complement it very well.

 

[Miss Golightly]

What a beautiful dress! You look fabulous!

 

[MikeBravo]

Interesting vest/waistcoat in a nice combination

 

[fortworthgal]

Haha, well if your husband also reenacts WWII, then we'd definitely look identical.

Yep, we both do! Now, if you tell me you reenact USMC I'm going to be totally freaked out.

I agree with Miss G, you that dress is to die for! And you look fantastic in it

I haven't visited this thread in quite a while now. Lots of wonderful style these last weeks (and months)! Great stuff ... :yo:

Hey Gene, I hear you about those jacket withdrawal symptoms! Could you tell me what that style of jacket you wear is called? That kind of civilian ike. I've seen it called a ricky jacket, but i've also seen light windbreaker type jackets with slash pockets called that.

I've always just heard "Ricky" jacket, but I always thought that meant the type with the flap pockets...I guess you could call the slash pockets Rickys too.

I really love this outfit and how all your accessories match by color (Stunning back drop as well)

Great jacket DMan.:eusa_clap Looks like that collar would be able to cover your ears if needed.
Where's that lighthouse at?

Cheers!

It is a very American term. I've seen it applied to both equally. Fwiw, all reversible "Ricky" jackets I've ever seen have slash pockets on one side and mid chest patch pockets on the other. No doubt for obvious practical reasons.

 

[Metatron]

Thanks for the clarification Edward. That's quite a neat design feature.

@Dinerman, I remember that jacket and can hardly recognize it! Did you restore the leather? It kind of looks like a B2 now. Nice jacket/newsboy combo.

Sheer Perfection, as always!!!

Sheer Perfection, as always!!!

Indeed. I particularly like the unusual but tasteful idea of mixing a wing collar with an odd pinstriped jacket. It's an outfit which really shouldn't work yet somehow Sproily manages to make it work.

 

[Edward]

The wing collar is very Edwardian (if memory serves, Lloyd George, being then an older man, still sported one with a four in hand at the time of the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations), while the odd jacket and trews is a very thirties touch. And the mix definitely works!

 

[sproily]

Thank you Bugsy, Alan and Edward! I realized too late that I should have sewn on white buttons. Perhaps next time.

 

[Chasseur]

Sproilly top class and an inspiration as always! :eusa_clap

YES!!! I love Wing Collars in everyday dress!
Question, are your trousers White Flannel, if not have you ever handled White Flannels?
