The men's dress style thread..

Charity shops? Bit time intensive hunting for stuff, but there are gems out there!

Patagonia? Maybe a bit out-doorsy.

Levi's are pretty good ethically.

Neem do smart looking stuff but are pricey.

Don't have the time for charity shop rummaging, and in any case I'd rather buy new and wear it til it dies. Outdoors and casual stuff is not a problem but it is something more formal I'm after. See even that Neem stuff, besides not really being my style, is more casual, comfort and overshirts rather than something you'd wear for the office. Good on you rates Levi's as 'it's a start'. There are certainly better more ethical jeans out there.

Darcy Clothing in Lewes might fit the bill. Their farmers' shirts are good quality and, although placket front will work with a tie. Not slim fit.

Community Clothing? From memory only a few colours.

Darcy are replicas and costume aren't they? I've looked at Community Clothing but doesn't really do it for me. I just looked and it's all rugby shirts anyway.


FWIW I don't need to wear a shirt and tie at work, my employer is perfectly happy with smart casual. If I had to wear a tie I would resent it, I'm certainly not of the pale shirt striped tie persuasion.

Do, or would any of you wear a trilby or a fedora hat? I'm not on about those straw ones we see on summer holidays, more the ones like this.

Always moving on, instead of wearing the same (you might be slightly too old for it) clothing I've recently been wearing trilby hats. I've bought three in the last few months (2 good, one a regret, but it's still in the experimental stage). I gave up 'designer' baseball caps a few years ago and moved on to tweed/wool flat caps, not forgetting the two deerstalkers.

Now that I feel comfy in a trilby, I'm thinking of moving to a slightly larger brimmed fedora.

I dabbled a bit with trilbys and fedoras a few years ago and stil have a few. I decided that they just didn't suit me though.

Borsalino hats, worn by the likes of Johnny Depp and David Bowie (well, at least when he was alive...if you know what I mean!) according to this video.

£269 for a felt hat?🤔 Ok if you're a famous 'movie star' or a famous singer with bottomless pockets!

I have thought about buying the khaki one in the past. A bloke I know of wore the full 'Boer War' uniform plus pith helmet when England played in the World Cup finals in South Africa in 2010.

I might do one day, but I have two similar deerstalker hats. Plus about 30 odd other hats and caps!

When the royal mail, finally deliver the last piece, I will have managed to assemble a 3 piece tweed suit from 3 different retailers at approx 1/3 RRP as all were discounting their "left over" piece of it. Normally you can only do this if you are a 46" chest and 28" waist, but I'm a very normal 40" & 32".

on hat chat, I can rock a flat cap, but not the floppy barrow boy style, but most other hats don't suit, although i do have a panama

Got to be a fedora, far better than a trilby.

Budding brumells getting out of the lycra and within swanning around distance of Manchester might be interested in this rather good free exhibition.

Mmm, I quite like these. I think you could wear them outside as well as inside, but only on dry spring/summer days. Would that leather sole stand up to hard outdoor surfaces though?🤔 I see scruffs shopping in pyjamas and slippers. These aren't scruffy at all. Eccentric maybe, but definitely not scruffy!!

I can just see myself wearing those velvet slippers, a Noel Coward type smoking jacket, cravat and one of these

while shopping in Tesco!🧐
