Looking at the weather from the window, I deliberated whether Mother Nature was lulling me with the sunshine.
I decided to go for it, wear the lemon blazer and take an umbrella, just in case!

If you ever went to the Palace garden party, that would be the outfit to wear....

Lovely and well made clothing, and great photos @horseless carriage, but what year are you living in? Do you realise its now 2025

My 1947 MG is a giveaway to the year and what attire is, or was, period correct.
The scruffy top, shorts and tatty trainers are just not my scene.

Fair play to you, neither are scruffy tops, shorts, and tatty trainers my scene either

About a hundred years ago the Hollywood royalty of the day was one, Douglas Fairbanks,
seen here with Mary Pickford. Look at his shoes, I've just got to have those shoes.

This blazer cost virtually nothing, my wife noticed it and said, that it would go well with black accoutrements. She was right, I already had a black fedora, my lady made the trousers as well as the spearpoint collared shirt. The cane, who knows, memory and old age and all that.
Sorting things out, we intend to store our "clutter," that's framed photos and all the personal effects that can have a littered effect when trying to sell the house. This caused much amusement, I really should learn not to keep that which I never use anymore.
It's the early hours of the morning where I am, so,
Goodnight to you all.

My wife feels strong enough to go to this year's Shake & Stir Festival. The Ludo Lounge is in Fisherman's Walk, we shall dine there.
Going out and socialising has been something we miss. First Covid put paid to meeting and mixing then my wife's health, following heart surgery, has meant that her recovery is first and foremost. But it's the lady who told me to get the Shake & Stir tickets.

We are off to Poole Goes Vintage on Sunday. I've probably posted it before, old age and amnesia and all that. Here we were at last year's event.
The invitation came by way of a text, part of the message read: "Wear your bow tie!" Which tie to wear?
How lucky I am to have quite a collection. When the lady has an offcut after making a garment, if it's too small to do anything with, it gets turned into a bow tie. One of my old formal tie is used as a pattern, the shape is sustained with the same stiffener that goes into the neck tie. My bow ties get many a compliment.

This was a style of trousers that became known as: “Oxford bags.” An influential design that achieved extreme popularity in the 1920's.
But only for the privileged few. Not that your working class fellow would be seen dead wearing them.
Twenty-two inch circumference around the hem. Not quite the marquee tent of the fellow above, but the fabric alone required a mortgage.

Have a look at the antics that folk got up to at last year's Poole Goes Vintage.
