If it's not London it's not Town

Nick, you are becoming more English than the English!

Nick, you are becoming more English than the English!

Which is great, since Nick's maxim justifies my action.

It seems like a lot of the pictures here lately have had an English/European slant. All the flat caps!

There's a reason. More and more, the most active and enthusiastic Loungers in the (non-hat, non-leather) menswear threads are not American: they're European and Australian. By and large, the American Loungers have left, or they just stay quieter.

Hey there are still a few yanks left here, through I am a died in the wool Francophile with a taste for British suits....

I feel like there's definitely been a shift away here from the Hollywood Bold Look to earlier prewar clothing.

Maybe it's time for another menswear bartender from Australia or Europe? Cookie perhaps?

Bite your tongue! :rolleyes2:

Actually, I've been dressing more post-Bold Look, but it is true that the posts on this thread have greatly reflected the pre-war look.

Ditto! I've really gotten into the mid to late 50s "Mr T" look lately. I'm thinking since the latest trend in fashion (see RRL) is geared more towards the prewar look, people are naturally gravitating towards the heavy wools and tweeds.

Just reading a lot of Wodehouse lately What would Jeeves do?

See, I was *golfing* all afternoon (and it was a cold day) at the Riviera Country Club, which is owned by the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Then, I popped over at the Athletic Club for some drinks and a spot of gaming: http://adsla.org/info/content/february-18-casino-moderne

Don't stop now ...we would not want to get you to quit while you are ahead...

Finale of the opera season tonight. With my better half:

I hear what you guys are saying about the 1950s, I love Mr.T to the Continental!

In living color:

Oh I say Old Boy! That's the ticket! Fantastic threads you're wearing there, and I particularly like the colour of the tie! :eusa_clap

 

[Dubya]

If I can't wow you with quality I thought I'd try quantity.

Fantastic! What a superb collection. My favourite is the black skirt, burgundy jumper look. That hat is just amazing!!!

That's what I'm talking about! Both photos are great (and your wife is lovely).

Very much so, regarding the latter statement. What I do like about the Mr. T./Continental style is that it reflects more of a classic/timeless look. Don't get me wrong, though; I'll always dig the Bold Look!

I second that view.

Cold and rainy by Hawaii standards today, so thought I'd try out my new polo coat

Please forgive the crummy cell-phone/mirror photo. My camera is broken.

This was what I wore to Church today.
