It's time bring back the 80s city slicker look - chalk stripes, butcher and bengal striped shirts, spotted ties and bright braces. It really winds up the lefty crowd.

BTW, I am reliably informed, by a mutual friend, Rik Mayall is as right-wing in real life as as his Alan B'Stard character who wore that look.

I'll admit I'm not much for stripes myself (I only have one MTM pin-dot silver on charcoal) -- they seem too "businessy" for the 'burbs, and I will also admit to a little Madoff-style "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" self-effacement for work.

I am not a huge fan of pinstripes, but now that I read Maximus' post, I want one!

I know what you guys mean, I want to wear stripes more than ever myself...which isn't easy.

Jeeves and Hawks - the long-lost collaboration between P.G. Wodehouse and Audubon.

All this talk reminds me of that old boy in the City who, when most were told to dress down on the day of the G20, still went off to work in his chalk stripe and red socks. He said something along the lines of "I'll be damned if those lot mean I can't wear a suit to work."

Good place, rather good attitude and service. Best prices on pantherella socks. You can either ask him to take the VAT off and see the postage go up, or leave the VAT alone and the postage remains very reasonable. He has a good relationship with pantherella, so if you have a specific request, he can ask for you. You might end up having to take 6 pair but sometimes there's just an odd one or two pair left.
