Hard to believe but our Coop had these on sale one summer. Decided by somebody in Manchester who thought we were a seaside town so very suitable. No idea if they ever sold any unless to some passing drunk.

I picked this spiffing !00 percent tweed, chaps hacking jacket up from the Hospice charity shop this aft' for a mere tenner! Four internal and three external pockets means plenty of storage for a chaps bits and bobs!! 🧐

I('m thinking about buying a 'proper' monocle, as in one that works like reading glasses and not just a joke/fancy dress one.🧐 Do any of you own a visual assisting monocle and if so does it clarify blurred close up items? 🤔

Do we need a cosplay subforum? Incidentally, you know James Bond is a fan of a tweed hacking jacket, right?

Which 'James Bond' would that be? 🤔 Sean Connery and Roger Moore were quite 'chapish', but as for the others i'd say they were more blazer and flannels types.🧐

I'd also like to add, regarding my latest Hospice charity shop bargain that the lady in there puts them away for me when they come in. If I turn them down, usually due to them being too short in the arms, which is a problem when you have 24 inch (shoulder to top of thumb) arms yet also have a slim/svelte like figure like i have, the item then goes on general sale. Which sadly usually means they remain on the rail for quite a long time as the usual costume of this town seems to be hideous sweat pants and hoodies!! 🧐

A nice (in my opinion) scarf I bought in 'the shop' yesterday. 100 percent wool and an impressive 6 foot by 10.5 inches! 🧐

I wore it today. You'd be amazed at how many compliments it received! Seriously though one woman said "It looks a bit like those striped blazers they were at yon Henley yachting thingy".

As the weather's turned colder I've been wearing a scarf for the past couple of weeks and not a single person has approached me to pass comment on it.

Looks very much like a college scarf.

Could we get some made up in CycleChat colours? Garish orange, blue and white, maybe some blazer badges while we're at it...
