What are you wearing today??

Two Types · Jan 15, 2013

This was my outfit for work today: Harris Tweed overcoat - very heavy Bedford Cord trousers that I have owned for about 12 years - 1950s British tie - cricket shirt from Darcy clothing - waistcoat from David Saxby:

Interesting. I have one of their cricket shirts but I'd never thought of wearing it with a tie. It works.

Well, I certainly don't wear it to play cricket!

Hi everyone. Here's some pictures of my latest acquisitions:

A grey herringbone tweed, London Fog overcoat:

The overcoat was dated by another Lounge member to be probably late '80s or early '90s, and I think the Harris Tweed jacket could be late '70s or early '80s. They seem to be good quality tweed coats. I consider the tawny fawn Fed IV to be more of a dress hat than my brown Indiana Jones inspired one (which I may wear on hikes). For a long time, I've been thinking about getting a tan dress hat, and I think I look better in it than the dark brown one. In the first few photos, I'm wearing a Sam Hober grenadine tie (midnight blue) I bought a few months ago, which is my favorite tie. I think a 54 inch length, and a 3 inch width suits me well.

I love the overcoat. Bought one at Marshall Fields Chicago 25 years ago and wore it for years. Still have it though a little worn.

I do. But only once a year.

Blasphemy! The Clash were []always[/i] good.

I'll grant you, Sandanista was a bit of a White Album....

Splendid. What maker is it?

P.S. If you have other vintage scarves please post pictures in the 'Show us your scarves' thread.

No label on this one unfortunately

Or at least all alive. The jury's still out on The Damned however.

Hold on, this is coming from a man who likes Sailor!

Sandinista would make a brilliant single album. Or a pretty good double. However...

Good stuff, sort of an early sixties vibe to your style.

Today is especially cold so i'm wearing my dated 1929 beaver fur collar overcoat, and bowler, scarf, shirt, 3-piece tweed suit, spats and shoes all from the 40's

With the fur collar overcoat and the facial hair you've got the Italo Balbo thing going on, at least thats the first thing that came to my mind.

today alas i am going boxing so i won't have anything vintage on.. how vintage is a track suit ?

Any man wearing spats gets thumbs up from me! :thumb:

Great work!

I dont have a problem with a Gentleman wearing the pelt of any animal, the whole thing looks quite dashing, especially with the facial hair, its the icing on the cake
