Great Look!

Seriously cute! You could tell me stories anytime . . .

Hatrak

Aww, Thanks HatRak - I'm blushing now

 

[Hamilton_Honey]

Great picture as always, Dinerman - I love your look and your fabulous creativity!

Well after reading this BBC news report about how the good people of Cardiff like nothing more than popping down to the supermarket in a pair of PJ’s and comfortable slippers.

So tomorrow I think I will be mostly wearing pyjamas.

And we get laughed at for wearing a suit and hat!

I can't hear anyone laughing at me because of the vintage cotton wool plugging my ears....

Went to the opening of the opera season last night, so it was a rare excuse to wear my white tie and tails! Sorry for the self portrait in the dingy bathroom mirror here, but my better half canceled on me so I had to go solo...

Vintage Palm Beach tailcoat (probably 1950s?), matching trousers made by Indy Magnoli, Vintage Shirt Company marcella shirt and bow tie, detachable collar by Vintage Shirt Company, vintage 1940s British marcella waistcoat, vintage Swank MOP cufflink and stud set, white linen pocket square, and some nice plain toe oxfords by John Bros. Mini-carnations are hard to find in Hawaii, so I used a white orchid.

Most elegant. The epitome of the classic first nighter. :eusa_clap

...the good people of Cardiff like nothing more than popping down to the supermarket in a pair of PJ’s and comfortable slippers.

Please don't stereotype a fine city! Such a thing could happen anywhere in the western world, unfortunately, and indeed some FL members have noted it from the areas where they live.

"Oh Come on now ? how many of us have "Tumbled" into bed fully dressed. fairs fair, do admit? ....what I have a problem with, is "ladies" pushing shopping carts in "Hair Rollers"

"This charming young gel has the "sense" to remove her hair curlers , after all, who knows who she may meet at the "Cold Meats" counter, cold cuts indeed!

Hey Dinerman, great looking as always! could you tell me something about those boots you're wearing? are those hunting-boots and are they watertight? lined with warm material? vintage or new, and if new where could those be bought? many questions I know, I would appreciate it if you could reply..

Me too re: the suit. Everything's right about it.

What's that fabric, Marc?

I'm sure D-man will reply, but in the US those boots are typically referred to as "Duck boots"

A very popular version of them:

Heading for a birthday party tonight.

Mario....You made me do a double take! :eusa_clap You're not just a well dressed man but a whole complete attitude! DAMN!

I'm wearing this today and I'm going to the grocery store!

We have had only 2 major snows in WNC this winter, and both have been unusually heavy. Because of this morning's weather forecast, I dressed a little more ruggedly for the office than I usually do. No suit today - Bill's Khakis heavy canvas trousers, Viyella shirt, British Handcraft Ltd sweater, Loden overcoat, tweed cap and heavily greased Filson boots.

Brilliant look for snow. Elegant but practical.

Could you post some pictures of the overcoat please? The coat in my avatar is made of loden and I'd be interested to see if yours is the same as mine.

Edna and I went to Militaria sale today. Hidden in the army webbing was the odd civilian find.

She loves this repro 'Rocket' jumper, she found. So much so she wore it as soon as we got home for a picture I needed for an upcoming blog about wartime rations.

Oooh, what a doll Edna is! And who can blame her? I'd want to put that jumper on right there at the sale!

a busy day

Well, today is so lovely out that I just had to have a little bicycle ride - forgive the mussed hair...

And since I have company coming from california for a visit tomorrow, it's time to tidy up the house! Head scarf: check. Pinny: check. Dust mitt: check.

This is my favorite apron because of the romance - My dear friend Ellie (who worked a government office job during WWII) made it as part of a matched pair for herself and her DH. She gave it to me telling me that she had many fond memories of him wearing this very one and helping her with the dishes after supper in the evenings in their wee little newlywed house - now there's a good fellow! I like to think of them when I wear it to do my chores
