Patrick - Looks great, love the Quoddys

Was the ribbon watch band around in the 50s and 60s, or is it more a preppy thing?  I can't see it going with my G-Shock but would fit nicely on the Seiko.  I use metal wrist bands.  Sere they around in the 50s and 60s or even earlier?

They come from military watchbands and go way back. Same deal with striped ribbon belts. Did GIs bring them to campus ?  Did they come from Military Dads ? Did they come from being in The Corps at Prep school ?

Surcingle also comes from the military via the equestrian connection.

I'm guessing there's a big WWII / Korea connection to this ?

Preppy lightened & brightened them and made a fashion point of them in the '80s. The codification and comodification of a much earlier style.

Thanks, prefer a short cut on odd jackets

From yesterday's lunch.

Oliver - Lovely looking lady.

I bought my first pair of Quoddys yesterday. The Chromexel canoe moc with camp sole. A revelation.

Let's all play.... Hell, this isn't today or even this year!!

I could of linked this the the polo shirt thread too, wearing one of my FP italian knitted shirts.
But it is me and the missus - bit windswept after a couple of hours dancin!

Both lookin' great, Tom!

Haha!

The lady on the left has clearly tripped, which has lead to quite a nasty clashing of nose on cheek, poor thing.

Them's not sanders? Are they not the original playboy only available in Denmark? Sanders don't have the leather foxing.

Love the weave on that jacket.

Stuarts of London were doing shoes very similar, if not the same as those a few months back. the shop assistant tried telling me they were an exact replica of the Mcqueen one's blah blah. Can't remember the make but they weren't Sanders.

P.s. I thought it was Sweden where the original Playboys were available??

Common People.

Not Common People Capt. They were bought for me by my mates neice ages ago. MiE, but not Oliver Sweeny (Pawson), or George Cox.
So if not Sanders, I'm perplexed!
