Today at church. The tie is one of my Dad's from the very early 1960s.

Nothing too special but it is my first post in this thread.

Worn for the last day (Yesterday) of the International Sea Shanty Festival down here in Falmouth. Grey Henley shirt, locally made leather belt - I thoroughly recommend the couple who do them to anyone down this neck of the woods - and Swedish Civil Defence denim work trousers.

I suppose that's the right outfit for a sea shanty festival.

Cheers. Just a pair of modern, polished black trench boots. Unfortunately I don't have enough space in my Student accommodation to take a full body shot.

Ahh, I remember student accommodation fondly...sort of! My room for the first year was about 6' by 10', shower and toilet in the same cubicle. At least you're getting out to sing sea-shanties!

That's a great photo Big Man, I hope you keep these photos for that young lady to look back at when she's older.

Thank you. I try to make hard copies of the really good photos. I'm afraid, in this world of digital photography, that so many photographic memories will be lost over time.

Went out on the town today and this was what I was wearing.

All the Best ,Fashion Frank

P.S. looking good Big man

Very smart Frank, and I love your motor car.

Eddie Derbyshire · Jun 20, 2015

Looking great Fashion Frank. A great summer look, especially that Boater!

Eddie Derbyshire · Jun 20, 2015

Here's what I wore today. Includes a Tootal Cravat. I can only assume the corduroy jacket is 1970s, but luckily it's done in a pretty nice 1940s style, with belt back and pleated patch-pockets and none-too ostentatious lapels. The first time I've worn a cravat out-and-about for about three years. I enjoyed it.

(I'm assuming it's a fairly modern jacket going on the label - there's no other maker label to speak of)

And wore this the other day - my wife was in Spain so only a picture of the shoulders I'm afraid!

Flannel suit, Tootal 'Red Quality' tie.

Thanks for looking

Perfect Frank.
Great match on everything. Even the leash.....

Nice summer suit Frank. I think you should try that look with an unstructured 1930s tie and a slim knot, it would look splendid!

Eddie, good jacket, It looks like late 1960s-early 70s? the shoulders look quite wide in a classic way, which works with your ensemble.
Often you find very wide lapels with very narrow shoulders on 1970s jackets which looks unbalanced.
The fob pocket on the trousers is a nice feature.

Ahh Metatron ,you can read minds ,I wish I had some of those stiff 1930's collar shirts with the tie"poking thru"and a collar pin ,your taste is even better than mine !

All the Best,Fashion Frank
