Thanks fellas. Henry - I feel guilty and great at the same time. Thanks again mate, I'll keep an eye out for you. The next one is yours!
Excellent look Woolster, colours working well, are the brogues Imperials?
Will have to get my cord suit tailored up and worn, nice spring/autumn weight.
Cheers Ville. What's your cord suit like Tom, is it a wide or thin cord and in what colour? I'd love a cord suit, there's a picture of Anthony Perkins wearing onone in a nice slim cut in HATIL, looks great.
Tom, the shoes are Executive Imperials. Not really 'imperial quality', but some cheapo big ass shitkickers. I love 'em really. I'd love a cord suit too. Really tempted to get that McGregor on Zach's shop.
Some nice shots of James Coburn in a cord suit from the movie "Charade", in this thread. http://forums.filmnoirbuff.com/viewtopic.php?id=8056

Suit was picked up at the Paul Smith warehouse sale, not exactly ivy I know but it's a lovely cut. Thin wale in a tan colour. Jacket is obviously not a sack with a slimmer mod cut, the trouser need to be finished, but will get them tapered in a little to compliment the jacket.
Birthday today, got a lovely summer weight peacoat off my lovely lady in a cream cotton. Off to the Barbican to see the Bauhaus show before afternoon ales.
Pthh.

Shooey you are getting to be a grumpy old stick in the mud.
lt's probably because i'm increasingly being surrounded in mud as winter approaches. Wet weather and mud sucks.
As it gets wetter and l get older, l will become grumpier and grumpier. And one day when l grow old l may need an old stick when it gets muddy, so it will be an old stick in the mud.
