Great as always, Woolster.
Good move on wearing those deadstock items. Can't see the point in hoarding clothes away with their tags - anything which is quite rare or unlikely to be replaced I'd just wear less frequently.
The jacket I particularly like. The colours are good - not garish and over the top like most madras sportcoats, or worse still patch madras.
Doesn't take a genius to spot that patch madras is brass and ugly and that if you don't get a madras sportcoat absolutely spot on you've set yourself up for a shit load of abuse from friends and strangers alike - probably rightly so!
Ville has the eye for both style and finding all these amazing deadstock items. Looks really good.
Wouldn't wear the Bostonians myself, although a great find - even weejuns can stand out if you don't wear them well.
Maximum respect to the Woolster. Fantastic clothes, fantastically well worn. Makes we wanna be young and skinny with hair very much indeed.

Thanks fellas. The jacket is my only madras number. I haven't seen many I would personally wear, but sometimes do like the more bolder ones on others. Depends on rest of the get up I guess.
I love that madras. I've only got the one and I comes out infrequently - especially this bloody Summer.
well done brother woolster. madras jacket worn very well. makes me wish i was 20 years younger and 20 kilos slimmer, then, probably, i'd get away with wearing one.
All navy now, navy cotton waffle socks, dark 1947 denim, thick navy wool Smedley cardigan mock turtle zipped all the way up.
White T underneath, Sportocasins off.
