What are you wearing today??

Hah! You're laughing TT, but nobody messed with me all night, or tried to deal Opium on my watch... Seriously though, I didn't realise my default stance was so thuggish! I guess dressing up doesn't matter if that's the image I'm projecting! Time to walk around with some books on my head...

I've just accepted that I look like what I look like. No amount of pretending to look like a Duke is going to make me look like one. I just don't do elegance.

You do the '1950s miner on a Sunday' look very well, I'd be happy with that.

Metropd: good to see you back. That is a tall hat!

I love how proper the crown height is. It's timeless.

I suppose I'm pretty happy with that! Haha!
Not that it's going to stop me wearing a DJ at any given opportunity...

You look great metropd! I'm thinking 1940s **** Tracy comics. Would you mind giving some details on the outfit?

The style is more British and Aristocractic. King George VI and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Are the main influences for this style.

Ah! Fair enough, sorry. Is the suit British?

I am not sure if it is British or American, but it is cut in an English Drape Cut, and the color is an R.A.F. Blue. It very well maybe of British origin.

i've never seen a photo of George VI in a hat of that style.

I have, as well as an Austrian Prince, that I have been trying to find the picture again on the Internet that was posted a few months ago.

Metropd.....European aristocracy or **** Tracy - either way it's an excellent look. Suit and hat are both exemplary, and you wear them well. Great pics, too. Give a high five to your photographer.

Great look and outfit metropd!

Thank you Gentlemen.

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

A warm day the other day, so I ditched the waistcoat and loosened my tie...

 

[dh66]

Must not've been too hot, Eddie. You still managed a jacket.

Seriously, though, I really like the loose tie/cap combination.

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Thanks dh66! I always feel better with a jacket on. I think it was about 20 centigrade so pretty warm for here!

Wow! Must be nice. It doesn't even get that cool here overnight this time of year, and high 30s during the days. No jackets.

Oh boy! I think I'd just start decomposing at that temperature!
