The men's dress style thread..

Being a Blackburn Rovers fan means you dislike Burnley immensely. Yet one of my favourite colour combinations is dare I say it claret and blue which for anyone who doesn't know are Burnley's colours.

Yes, that's the one!

Being English I don't have a tartan, but my first/Christian name is also a surname that has a recognised tartan. I have that tartan in a wool scarf form, but the tartan is a but bland (Green and grey with a bit of burnt orange). It's not an interesting tartan at all, but I thought I'd buy a bit of it due to the slight name connection.

Well technically I'm English (though regard myself as naturalised Welsh after living here for 45 years), but I have a Scots grandfather - A Sinclair from Wick, and so I have a kilt in the Sinclair hunting tartan, which I wear for weddings and some other formal occasions.

Crazy prices now for a Schoffel fleece, though Cordings do seem to add a fair bit on due to them knowing that folk will pay more seeing as it's bought from them. This one https://www.cordings.co.uk/navy-schoffel-berkeley-1-4-zip-fleece.html is £189.95. I found then bought the same fleece from a charity shop (though mine's a full length zip, not a quarter length one, so even better), in a perfect fit size for me, in March 2022 (check back on this thread if you like) for a mere £2.50 and it had hardy been worn, if at all. It's ok and all that, but at the end of the day they're made from polyester and have a supposed leather piping on the edges. Nice, but more name and image than quality I'd say.

The closest I come to a clan.

Was the whole clan tartan thing not invented by Sir Walter Scott?

Although, as someone with a very Scottish surname, I do have a tie and scarf in my clan tartan.

My chocolate brown tweed trousers arrived today. The 34 inch waist is slightly noticeable, but only slightly and they are the usual Cordings quality, packed/boxed well and professionally as usual delivered by DPD!

The material was made about 30 miles away from where I live.

They've got to pay Mayfair levels of rent.

There's plenty of country clothing type websites that sell Schoffel stuff, always a sale on somewhere.

If I were to buy a brand new Schoffel fleece, it'd have to be made from lambswool, not polyester.

https://www.schoffelcountry.com/lambswool-aerobloc-1-4-zip-24482#selection.color=9505

The wool ones are now over £200, but seeing as the polyester ones are nearly £200, for a few tenners more you get very soft, long lasting wool, not man made polyester!!

I found then bought this from the retro clothing shop I work in yesterday. Sorry about the label's angle shot, you'll just have to turn your laptops around a little! I think it's from the 1980's. I paid £18 for it. Not bad for lots of real suede and wool.

It looks brighter in 'the flesh' and fits me perfectly. I tried it on when wearing my latest Cordings 'kecks', along with a shirt and tie and I must say it looked quite smart. A little 'old man' looking maybe, but now I'm 63 I feel I can wear 'old man' clothing at ease.

Heck, 35 dabs a pair for Cordings grundies! https://www.cordings.co.uk/menswear/accessories/boxer-shorts

I tend to buy mine from Tesco, costing about 12 dabs for 3 pairs. Paying £35 and that's the sale price, is a bit too much for something only you and the plod, when you're getting strip searched will see!! 🧐

Oughten they be more patriotic, in the Union flag colours, complete with Sock suspenders?

Notice Cordings only sell boxer shorts. They must see other underwear as not gentlemanly.🧐 Fair do's, I agree!
