Oh, so I bet they just hate any vintage recreation of the prohibition era. Terrible and completely illegal. I'm sure they turn away anybody who shows up at the door dressed like Al Capone.
Like in this picture I posted here a few months back?
Heh. One chap was wearing a Junker helmet this year because he'd worn his pith helmet in 2014, hoping to stand out, only to find a whole squadron's worth of us wandering around.

This year we had some ridiculous constraints imposed on us by TFL. We had to do many, many hours of extra work to cope with that and to show due diligence. But we've been running this event since 2009 and can cope. The day went very well and was very rewarding. It makes so many people happy.
I *think* you must be talkling to me, only because neither of the two gorgeous people on that page are relevant to these details. So... I'm wearing plus twos. Shorter overlap than plus fours. Plus fours are fine for walking around in but plus twos are better for cycling. The socks I got from...
LadyBaltimore, it was the 2015 London Tweed Run. I'm the head marshal for the event. My pictures are here, although I'm always too busy to take many. Lots more pictures from many people will be turning up on the Net over the next week. Here are some from one of my marshals.
