The men's dress style thread..

[grldtnr]

Now ,this is going of topic this thread, let's bring it back to posh clobber togs ,right this instant.
It's a thread about Emporer Accys new clothes....

 

[Drago]

There is now a huge stockpile of posh gents clothing awaiting unleashing on my Birthday in less than 2 weeks. Tweed, jackets, waistcoats, flat caps, shorts, shoes...my tired joggers and threadbare T shorts will be forever consigned to the bin.

I must confess to owning a "filthy" jacket I keep for doing manual outdoor tasks like the other day when I cleaned my own windows (in the dark). However I wouldn't be seen out and about in it though! 🧐

Do you have one of these when messing under car bonnets and sub-frames?

I wore such a thing when working in a home conservatory manufacturing place in 2002/3. I didn't wear one at first, saying it was too umcomfy, but I soon donned one after standing up while picking orders then banging my bonce on a metal girder!!

 

[Drago]

I don't have one any more, but did have a bump cap when I was a SAR volunteer.

Our local dibble went over to them after I'd retired, but then went back to tit hats and flat caps when a newnchief came along, doubtless each change being at vast expense.

I've always wondered! Are those flat caps the type you see the Chief Inspector wearing, protective or just a thin material? 🤔

 

[Drago]

They're not protective at all, just a fairly thin sort of cotton (or synthetic) baize material with a few mm of foam padding to give it shape.

The custodian helmet offered great protection. Being an old sweat I had the last of the heavier original style with leather lining. The newer ones are much lighter but nowhere near as comfy.

When I joined I was one of the last to be issued a great coat, althlugh i never got to wear it - by the time I'd done my 18 weeks training theyd been phased out and I had to return it. I missed being issued a foul wearher cape by about two years.

I'm sat here in my flat apartment wearing a Cordings three piece suit, Loake 1880 brown brogues, shirt and tie etc and feeling quite at peace with myself, while drinking Harveys Bristol cream with maraschino cherries! 🧐

If only they'd let you keep it! Imagine wearing such a thing these days as a general daily wear item! The plod uniforms are so bland and cheap looking these days!

I'm laying in bed in a pair of well worn Y fronts of 1973 vintage.
