Must be.
I think I drove past a bloke in a blue BB shirt a couple of weeks ago, back box pleat, no gauntlet buttons, that luminescence the oxford has. A rare bird in my neck of the woods.

I saw a chap on the bus wearing a Gant golf jacket. An OAP.

Re: Spotted
Last night I saw a school production of The Wizard of Oz (My Daughter was a tree) & the chap sitting next to me was wearing a very nice Blue Chambray button-down with stone coloured chinos & a pair of Dark Brown Suede 'Venetian' loafers.
At the end when Dorothy says 'There's no place like home' he shifted uneasily on his hard wooden school chair & muttered 'Hear, Hear'.
It had been a long evening.

The other week I saw 'Fiddler on the Roof' with the missus and spotted an old fellow wearing a navy 2B suit w/ 3/2 roll, black tasseled loafers, and repp tie. I almost decided not to liquidate my portfolio.

You could probably fit all the hardcore ivy-enthusiasts in Europe on one smallish bus.

Do you ever think we look 'funny' to most people? As you thought that skinhead stood out and looked odd.
I'm sure some folk might spot us and report "I saw a funny man today, all done up like he was in Happy Days or something out of the 50's".

Ah, Alex that's what you think because you KNOW. To the uninitiated pleb in the street, you probably look like Austin Powers. I got called Potsy Webber the other day!
I suppose it could have been worse, because I look more like Mr Cunningham these days.

Prof, it's one thing being called for looking like a twat... but being called ginger. Dear Lord, I'd rather be Australian...

Blimey, just saw a bloke wearing a fantastic pair of black split-toe Paraboots. Guy was rather obviously French, but nevertheless...

no, not just you.
What I do see a lot of is RL horsey shirts, Hilfiger jeans and the like. Always overly neat. Dismal.
Also variations on the 'Bloody Good Bloke' look of boat shoes, faded jeans, rugby shirts, Barbour, bad hair.
This is what I remember trainee dentists and veterinarians wearing in the 1980s. Blech.

Re: Spotted
Saw a bloke at the weekend in a RL 3BD (blue and white oxford, saucer sized chest logo), white jeans, navy suede Gucci loafers.
Wasn't anybody here was it?
