Great stuff 1966! I really like it.

Incidentally, I was wearing my pair of the chinos yesterday and I don't seem to have the problem with the zipper you've mentioned earlier. Did yours have 'irregular' stamped on the tag like mine? Or it could be something that appears only after they've been washed? I've only worn mine a couple times so far and they haven't been cleaned yet.

hahaha

It aint broke at all. I think OCBD knows what he likes and for him it's all about the subtle tweaks to his style that matter to him. You can see from his colour combinations that he is imaginative and isn't dressing by numbers.

He also posted an Arran knit sweater that was just amazing looking. He's no slouch.

Can't wait till Spring when he starts wearing those sweaters tied around his neck - it's gonna be great.

Feels very Italian.

Everyday man is ok, but not everyday. Its dull, you wouldn't buy a book called Ivy for thr Dull. At least Ox took away the picture of his last post with the green bodywarmer over his garb. Completely random item that did nothing for his outfit, wrong type of jacket, wrong colour.  Its all subjective of course but to say theres imaginative colour combinations is bollox, theres no colour combination going on at all. Nice garments, good fit but bland. Thats not harsh,  thats the observation. This is a forum not a blog.

I dislike the style of some of the posters on here, others I'm indifferent to, others I actually like.  Ocbd is one of the ones I like, he's a bit like Patrick (although not as good - something to aspire to) in that it's endless variations on a basic theme.  Soft collar shirt and a crewneck - very ivy.  I'm sure most people would consider him a dull dresser, but this is not a thread aimed at 'most people'.

Please keep the untucked shirts away from this thread though ocbd, I can walk down any street in the UK if I want to see that.

Well thats gotta be a better read than your last one-Yuca; My first 10 years in Leicester.

I've read  27 pages upto now so I read about the first 5 and its been very dull, I'm hoping it livens up in the second half.
