London Town is cosplaying as Hell this Bank Holiday Monday - at 34 Celsius, it's the hottest May day on record since 1922. Really not conducive to trying to get some actual work done. Any semblance of dressing respectfully is out the window; I'm reduced to a t-shirt, The lower half, not in picture, is a pair of SoF denim BattleDress trousers (which cope fairly well with the heat, and that thigh pocket does a lot for the pocket-detritus that would otherewise be in a jacket in civilised temperatures. On my feet, a pair ofc Van Authentic plimsols, as this is the sort of day I have to give in and eshew the footleather in favour ofc canvas. Come back Winter, please!

Can't believe it was only last Sunday I was able to dress decently, for the annual Summer Chap Flaneur...

Seeing Eros in the background you just have to be in Pickled Lilly Circus. The Chap has always contrived to clash dates with me, but I will get there.
Edward you have captured the essence of Chap perfectly, right down to the pipe in your top pocket. Compliments to you Sir.

This blazer was such a fortunate find. A trader at a vintage function let it go for just twenty pounds. My tailor tells me that it has been made to measure, adding, by a very skilled artisan.
Do you recognise the bow-tie?



Lining up the fabric pattern the way Tina does, can produce quite a bit of waste. My lady has a novel way of utilising that waste, look again at the bow-tie pattern.
