The men's dress style thread..

[stephec]

Yes, I thought so myself.🤔 I have a bit of a rule of thumb. I always ask myself would King Charles wear such an item, when I consider clothing. If the answer is no, then I slightly loose interest. If it's a yes, then I usually buy it! 🧐

I think he meant a Spaniel. 🤣

 

[grldtnr]

Which ? His madge, Or the dog ? Mind yo both have big lugg 'oles !
I'm sorry, I have no respect for the man, due to the way he treated his wife Diana.
I regard him as a 'Man with no honour' , if in the services, he would have been ' cashiered out of the mess room, as a Royal ,destined to the throne he has an example to set.
Mind you Diana was no paragon of virtue either
The only one I had a shred of respect for is the late Queen.

In correct mufti, complete with rather rakish tifter bell bottom trees and deck shoes.
The Naval pea coat is just style.

 

[Poacher]

It's military style. I think brass buttons would look nice on it. 🤔

They have it in navy charcoal, but the one above doesn't have a colour description. 🤔

I would suggest Loden Brown.

@Accy cyclist , any idea why I suggested Loden Brown?

Spoiler

From your link:

If you click on the right hand colour option, you get navy charcoal. Voila!

Mmm, probably because you thought of this..... 🤔

"Loden is a color that is a dull grayish green or deep olive-green. It is also the name of a thick, waterproof woolen fabric that is often used for jackets and coats in cold weather.


The word "loden" comes from Old High German and German. Loden fabric is typically made from sheep's wool without removing the lanolin. The fabric is heavy and relatively compact due to the way it is made. Loden is often used for overcoats, jackets, bags, curtains, upholstery, dresses, and accessories"

Is that a relative of yours?🧐

Very King Charles

Looking at the coat he's wearing below, and the one below that on the right, it does look like the Cordings one in question, but has differences, like the two, not just one button holes. Have a look through this article. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/g30877567/prince-charles-two-coats/ It seems he has worn it quite a lot over the years and still does.

I dunno I quite liked 'Phil the Greek', loved his Barby's and did a lot to promote a healthy outdoor life (DofE awards)

I can't say he is ,just a pic of an ordinary Matelot

I 'spose there is that, the man had to play 2nd fiddle to dear old Queenie, but always came across as someone who didn't suffer fools, he was of course a Naval man, which gets a tick from me, but like most matelot's , I get the feeling he played away a few times.
But really can't comment was I never met him.

Nope. Did you look at the spoiler? About halfway down that screenshot, below the price (£975!!!!!!!) and product code, what does it say?

LODEN BROWN
Beneath which are two buttons for the two colour options.

Possibly (almost certainly) their website renders differently in certain browsers and doesn't show this correctly, in which case whoever they employed to write the underlying code needs their arris kicking for not testing the site in different commonly used browsers.

I still don't get it. Are you saying the £725 and the £950 green loden coats are the same? 🤔

 

[winjim]

I would suggest Loden Brown.

And how would you describe the texture?

 

[T4tomo]

And how would you describe the texture?

Like sun? 🌞😎

 

[Accy cyclist]

And how would you describe the texture?

Like when you've accidentally put a woolen item on a hot wash, making it feel like loft insulator lagging. 🧐
