Hi
I'm a new guy - been lurking and getting the feel for a while thought I'd come on board now
Just to say thanks Jdemy for the tip off on the Brooks shirt
I went for that one
cheers

I didn't even know such things existed. Personally I have found Makers eoe far harder to find than pp or Oc (apologies to any novices for all the acronyms). I have only ever owned one, which soon became unwearable due to exploding collar.

I would get that pink end on end now, if I were you….says "makers" and the rule of thumb dictates that it is….

He pulls it off better than I could!

That's funny.  I've often pondered that jacket he's wearing and thought "What the hell is it?"

Great find Colin although it's a horrible jacket

I don't see myself wearing women's clothing any time soon...

Though it does remind me of a trip to Brooks Brothers a friend of mine and I had a few years back. He was on a mission to get some pink shorts (he dresses on the preppy/fratty/trashy side) but he couldn't find "the right kind of pink" at any place we went. Brooks Brothers didn't have any pink shorts for men, but they had pink seersucker women's shorts. And they very nearly sold my friend on them. As a matter of fact, I think he would have bought them if they were less expensive (Brooks Brothers was among the more upscale places we visited that day).

I could understand wearing something like a women's trench coat, where the only difference is what side the buttons are on. After all, last I heard, Barbour jackets exclusively have their jackets zip on the "women's" side. But regardless of where those pink seersucker shorts fastened, they were obviously women's shorts (and no, not because of the color).

I still can't decide if I think the BB people were genuine or if they were just pulling his leg.

Probably he simply meant the zipper is on the other side than it is on American jackets?
