Tank top or vest, J, yes.  I have a liking for these in lambswool or cashmere.  They are just so wonderfully 'old man'-ish.  Wouldn't want to be taken for one of these metrosexual types at my time of life, now, would I?

I've read that Jeff wears them - on here - but I've never seen him in one.  Pendleton do nice examples, often in navy blue.  Jantzen did them in off-white: cableknit.  I think they might be man-made, though.  We wore some horrendous acrylic examples to school c. 1973.  Just to see if we could take the piss.  School uniform was very strict in those days: grey socks with sensible black lace-ups.  The secondary modern kids managed to get away with loafers (always basketweave), Budgie jackets and DMs.  We grammar school boys soon imitated them.  They wear any old shit at my daughters school - and that's just the staff.

Sure.  My elder daughter is a teacher.  Dresses smart for class, no doubt.  Grubs around in jeans otherwise.  Horse, ducks, chickens.  She leads a pretty rural lifestyle.  My younger daughter went to the local 'high' school: allegedly modelled after Summerhill.

At least you looked cool whilst doing it.  Any of those beach balls left?

p.s. Are you sure that jacket is machine washable?

It least it went to a fellow hipster.

Thought some of the guys on here might like to see my new toy - as architecture is the sub subject at the moment...
