“……….while wearing stuff made out of man made fibers fibres!! ”

Top chap. 👍

Then you have to consider the boulder burns problem with the highly flammable polyester, you'd get if you smoked some Moroccan black while wearing stuff made out of man made fibers fibres!!

Cotton burns just as badly but Silk is a bugger and as for the inevitable pinhole burns all down the front of my favourite Satin shirt.

I remember those football shirt wearing fans in the 1990's, especially the ones wearing white ones!

Cotton burns, but if you can flick a boulder or whatever (flying bits of struck match heads are/were a problem when I smoked, as in cigarettes ) off in a second it should be ok, but not with such as polyester or nylon as, as soon as the spark hits the material it sticks, making flicking off impossible!!

I did say that I was intending to buy the linen suit I eventually bought, then when Cordings reduced the tweed suit soon after I bought it, that I then asked Cordings if I were to buy the linen suit could they knock the same amount off the linen suit as they knocked off the tweed one, or words to that affect.

Now If I were to buy two pairs of Cordings trousers in their forthcoming 'buy two, get one at half price' offer, with one of those pairs being the Sporting Czech Cheque Check @Dag Hammar which I want, just to 'save' on the other pair that I wouldn't want then @AndyRM would be right in his thoughts that I would be buying something I didn't really want, just to 'save' some money, but no, I intended buying this suit https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/the-mens-dress-style-thread.282164/page-110 Post 1,638
come the warmer weather, so it definitely wasn't a 'buy something you don't want to save money' exercise! 🧐

If you bought trousers at half price,......would they be shorts?

 

[AndyRM]

You could just have said "I bought both suits"...

You did well to spot the burns, you've got amazing powers of observation.

 

[Profpointy]

No I haven't, and on the subject have you ever painted your arse a particular colour, or would that require gallons of the stuff to complete the task?!! 🧐

There was a young girl from Australia
Who painted her arse like a dahlia
She did rather well
Charging twopence a smell
But thrupence a lick was a failure

Wondered how long it would take for someone to 'pick up' on the quote.

 

[Accy cyclist]

I've been watching the below. So let me see. So far I've picked up on riding boots, tweed jackets, jodhpurs and walking round with a golf club, looking frustratingly bored, while 'hanging out' in a looks like Georgian mansion, sat in front of a very large fireplace. I'm getting ideas for my image. I used to get tips from Jeeves and Wooster, but this is more contemporary, albeit fifty odd years old. 🤔 🧐

 

[Accy cyclist]

Should I still wear man made fibers though?
Oh dear Accy, we are in England. In this land we use the spelling “fibres”.

If you are seeking validation for your purchase here’s my viewpoint. The quilted jacket: ordinary to the point of being bland. You will pass people in the street and they will barely notice you.
On the other hand, the tweed suit shouts quality and style. Go for it and be sure to post a photo of you wearing it when it has arrived. 👍

Serious question. I'm more Jacob Rees-Mogg in a suit these days, than I was 20 years ago. Do you think wearing such a suit, still looks good when you're 'slim'...and old(ish)? 🤔

JRM is hardly bursting with either lard or muscle and seems to get away with it.

Mogg is hardly a role model to look up too, apart from his good manners his disposition is about the only good thing going for him.
