…I regard him as a 'Man with no honour' , if in the services, he would have been ' cashiered out of the mess room…

Really? Most messes harbour plenty of bounders.

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.

They also show a 33 inch arm for this https://www.cordings.co.uk/sporting-check-field-coat.html#
which I intended to buy, but then saw the 33 inch arm for my L size was measured from the neck to the cuff, not the shoulder to the cuff which their red line indicates. Though I imagine that a 33 inch shoulder to cuff arm would be slightly too long even for MY long arms!

As much as I like Cordings jackets, cords, moleskin trousers, waistcoats suits and coats, I definitely wouldn't buy their accessories such as the cravat below. Seventy five quid for a cravat is beyond me! You could buy one of their decent shirts for a mere £4 more. https://www.cordings.co.uk/blue-green-medium-check-tattersall-shirt.html

They certainly do,but you don't expect Philandering first in line Princes to be a Cad & bounder,, Eddie the VII , was one such Swine,, put his Dad Bert , in an early grave or so Queen Vicky says,
And yet he was a well loved Monarch when he did get ascendancy, it that was the times they lived in.
Mildly of course but Eddie was also a dapper gent, ' Prince of Wales Check'

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

I believe jumpers that go like that are called Stranglers?

While in Bakewell at rhe weekend I found an establishment that I thought our Accy would like.

Not that badly priced either.

Lovely place Bakewell, did one partake of the delights of the 'Bakewell Pudding'

I put a 100 percent wool, retro style cycling jersey on a very warm wash cycle a few years ago, wanting it to shrink slightly as it was an XL size one I'd bought in a charity shop for a few quid. It actually came out fitting my L size perfectly, apart from the arm length which fitted me before the wash, but not after, so I converted it to a short sleeve jersey using scissors and a needle and thread. It wasn't that breathable after the wash though as the weave of the wool tightened, meaning less air flow and it felt more like felt than wool, to the touch.

sounds like your short sleeved version would be ideal for Walking on the beaches?

I once read that one of the first things a woman checks out on a man is the cleanliness of his shoes.

If you want to know how to judge a guy
Don't look at his shirt, don't look at his tie
If you really want to know him ... (hmm)
Look at his shoes ... sh-shiny shoes!

Don't trust that collar, don't believe that cuff
Smart suspenders is not enough
If you really want to know him ... (hmm)
Look at his shoes ... sh-shiny shoes!

And they wonder why the Goodies never got any repeats

Brilliant show!!

Brilliant show!!

I used to think that until I managed to catch one of the rare repeats. We were easily amused in the 70s

Or even a Bakewell tart.

I've identified a more casual style for our fashion correspondent.
