The men's dress style thread..

Yes but look great with a pair of jeans

And with chinos, cords even formal trousers, if they are formal not casual suede. I have three pairs of suede shoes. One's a pair of brown Loake brogues (though not the 1880 top of their range. I think they were made in India, but the soles are still Goodyear welted), one's a pair of Clarks Weavers in cactus green 🌵, the same as these.

and the others are a pair of red Roamers desert boots, like these.

Sadly, only the red Roamers are free from marks and that's probably because I've hardly worn them. The green Clarks are ok, apart from an annoying small stain on top of one of the shoes. I've tried slightly diluted 'non bio' washing up liquid, carefully used so I don't fade the colour, but when it dries you can still see that annoying stain.

Tempting as they are fully lined, unlike the two on post number 993, so they'll be better for late autumn and winter. They have quite large brims though. 35.5 cms from side to side, compared to 31.5 which is usually the case. I wonder if they'll look too wide and then there's the prospect of them getting blown off in a strong wind. 🤔

Then of course there's the scruffy chavvy mocking I'd have to endure. I had a fat chavvy slob, wearing fake crocs, sporting that ridiculous hair 'style' of permed hair and shaved back and sides, laughing at me today, while I was out and about in brown tweed trousers, olive green quilted jacket, brown suede brogues and my light tan Borsalino fedora. I looked at it like it was something off the bottom of my shoe, but I think it was too thick to take it in!! 🧐

I mean I could go full on 'look at me' and buy this little number!

It's sooo Dandyish, but it's not lined, so it'll be quite cold to wear in the late autumn and winter. 🤔

I quite like this, but I bet @stephec thinks it's Huggy Bear(ish).

I like this one. It's nice and bright, but camel is quite classy, not slightly tacky like some I've recently linked.

I do like that hatpin and the two colours/patterns headband and although the feather's a bit gaudy, it'll be removable and if you want to keep it in you do have the excuse of 'it was already in when I bought it, I didn't put it there'.

At that price it's wool not rabbit fur, but it'll still be nice and warm in the cooler months as it's lined.

I'm going to put three jumpers of mine in the Salvation Army recycling container. One's a Lyle & Scott, one's a Next and the other's an Asda/George one. I haven't worn them for a few years. They are in good nick and well worth wearing. I have far too many woolens and intend to give more away to keep my clothes hoarding in check.

I've just bought the last 61 centimeters, XL one.

Well he already wears a nun's outfit for 'special' occasions.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

My latest fedora arrived today, via the Post Office delivery service. I'm quite pleased with it. It fits perfectly and feels very good quality, as I always find with Christy's hats. I now have ten fedoras, if you count my Panama hat.
