Thanks again. ReVamp did use this shirt's collar as an influence on the 'Duke' collar's final shape, but they're not identical.

Thank you, rue! The shirt isn't my design; it's a 1930s British shirt which I can only wear open-collared, because the neckband is too tight on me. Here's a close-up of the cotton fabric:

Nice fabric, Marc. Have you considered getting a button extender for it?

Thanks for the suggestion, Widebrim. It's way too tight even for a button extender, but it looks fine when I wear it open-necked.

Me today, nothing special.

Love this photo!! You always look great!

Those British collars are great, aren't they? Perfect for a casual open neck look. I find them a bit too unstructured, to be honest, for formal (suit) wear.

Yesterday, casual '50s look to do some house work and animate my thesis film.

First go ever...

Me today (I snapped it myself with my camera phone so sorry for quality)

Tweed jacket, tweed A-line skirt, charcoal knitted polo, pearls and my grandmother's brooch. It's cold here today but I'm very snug in this.

For some reason my hair came out really weird today. Too few rollers is my guess.

Gorgeous Flicka!! I love that ladylike in tweed look! Your hair looks lovely by the way, i think the fact it looks natural and wavy complements the severity of your outfit perfectly. Well done.

Golden Era Fan - Great look, love the shirt and trousers combo. Excellent!

Well done to all the other ladies and gents as well.

I really like the LVC Mackinaw jackets. but they don't make them small enough! I tried on the smallest one in the Covent Garden store, and it was wayyy too big for me. Too bad, I really liked the fabric and the cut of them! Yours looks/fits exactly as they should IMO.

It's oppressively hot today. I'm wearing variations of Khaki and my boater hat. I may wear something different for dinner tomorrow night (going out to celebrate Chinese new year). But the weather will dictate that.

I think my camera feels a little sick today...

Your camera may be sick, but you look quite well Mario... well done

 

[Mario]

Thank you, rue.

I can't help but think that the jacket is a wee bit on the long side. I usually like them a tad shorter...
