What are you wearing today??

[Chasseur]

Again, i think that cut really suits you.

Thanks, I do love the tweed so I think I'll keep it.

The weekend just past saw the staging of the 2012 Chap Olympiad in Bedford Square Gardens. The Eighth Olympiad, and for the first time a two-day event.


Marlowe Triumphant: I brought home the Gold for Saturday's event:

In the dictionary next to the word "chuffed" there is this picture Well done!

1950s Oxxford tweed suit with a subtle red overcheck, 1930s tie, and a tweed Retrosport casquette!

The jacket is a little long for my tastes (its a 44L I think). But I do love tweed!

Great outfit! I think the jacket looks fine in length - I had an Oxxford suit that was almost identical to that one - the lapel width, the patch pockets, and the weave - except it was a ruddy brown color with a dark brown windowpane. The pants were single-pleated, but a very generous cut in the seat and legs - I cannot do the narrower look of the late 50's early 60's - I have an "apple on a stick" physique and trim pants look ludicrous on me. PS, that tie looks familiar!!

Thank you Sir. Your hospitality and graciousness is always greatly appreciated.

That's quite a get-up you got there! What was the occasion? That hat looks like it would blind someone, it's so shiny!

 

[metropd]

What was the occasion?

Life. When I am not in a suit and fedora I am in a top hat and Morning/Evening dress daily.

 

[Shangas]

Aaah. Life! Yes, the best event of all, to be dressed up for...

 

[Vampyre Master]

that hat puts mine to shame!!! (little more shine on the shoes)

Well done! I love morning wear. Need to get organised and give my own an airing sometime... Such a shame that it is so much the preserve of weddings (and over here at that wedding parties alone: outside of the likes of a Windsor wedding, it seems nowadays it is viewed as the equivalent of a wedding dress or bridesmaids' dress - i.e. for wedding party alone) and the races. Something Must Be Done!

 

[Vampyre Master]

Wear it everyday

[metropd]

Thank you Sir. Many people love it, some people don't understand it. It can be quite polarizing. I have not received any negative comments yet, but if I do, it is to be expected. I feel so at home in "Morning Dress", it is like a second skin.
