What are you wearing today??

[AtomicEraTom]

Hoping so! The fella I bought from said he believed the gear ratio was in the low 6's.

Not much you won't be able to haul with that stake bed engine combination Tom!

Well, you won't be winning any races with that ratio but you sure can pull.

You should have come to the event! We drove to the event from Redwood City in our 1938 Buick Coupe.

I keep meaning to every year and then forget about it until it has passed.

I tried something slightly new today. I think it looked quite good, and when I find a hat that match the outfit will be quite perfect.

This is what the FL Events page is for, guys!

It is so rare to meet a fellow lounger over here in Oz, whereas you guys live on the same continent lol. Make the most of the Lounge.

Mrs Badger and I have just returned from a most pleasant long weekend in Paris – I DJed at Le Tiki Bar again and delivered my Bam-Balam belts, wallets & wristbands to Born Bad Vintage Clothing... I took my circa 1976, tailor-made English country suit; three different RL loop collar, flap pocket rayon shirts & a couple of semi-spear cotton shirts to wear with a red polka-dotted silk scarf; a mustard wool waistcoat for evenings; a spare pair of trews & shoes; an Ecuadorian straw for fine weather and a Big Apple cap for inclement... this 'capsule' approach worked very well sartorially, apart from the fact that most of the time, the weather was a couple of degrees C too warm for my suit jacket ... we were too busy having fun to take many photos but here are a couple...

A guy in a vintage clothing shop liked my outfit and asked to take this snap:

And here I am during a delightful lunch with Mrs B at the splendid and affordable Chartier:

And a silly one: a friend took us to see an amazing collection of old fairground rides, pipe organs and sideshow games that's rarely open to the public. Here I am paying 'homage' to my grandfather, who worked for John White shoes in Northampton!

Great pics Mr. B. For a second there I thought that first pic might be of your closet!

I do have wardrobes (and a tallboy, plus some trunks) but that's the 'vintage' department of Espace Kiliwatch, which is presided over by a genial gent named Jacques. They have some quite nice stuff, but it's really just a glorified Urban Outfitters – although Jacques was dressed very well, in the French 'work jacket & bandana' manner... Mrs B found a nice Rockmount ladies' western shirt but one sleeve was near as reaching the point of shred, while I looked at their 75-150 Euros vintage 'bleu' work jackets and thought I'd find one down the flea market, which I did, for 15E / $20!

Trying out the sweater vest look. All '50s except the shirt and glasses.
