Old man's trousers


Two fashion posts in one day - lucky you.

These dark blue, linen, generously cut trousers I sport were bought for a mere £5 from a charity shop yesterday, and were very well made in Greece - judging from the label, they were bespoke made as well.

It's hard to tell with a crap camera and failing, pixilated light, but these are double-pleated fronts with plenty of Victor Sylvester - i.e., ballroom in abundance.

They are the closest thing to proper 1940s cut trousers I have seen that were not made in the 1940s, other than by Armani.

I love them, especially at that price.

The shirt is Hilfiger and the shoes are Crockett and Jones - of course.

      I'd be glad to, John. No beige involved - yet...

      Bath is a big centre for Hen Nights too.

      Both H.I. and daughter have full-length mirrors. Fashion victimisation runs in the family.

      I'm calling you big-tits from now on. Actually, maybe not.

      No, Tom, the image may be burned onto my retina, but other than that no copy of it exists. You do receive a long legs award and the pants are very snazzy!

    I love 1940's style clothes. You had a bargain - they look good.

      They are very difficult to get hold of - either they are rotten or you have to pay a fortune.

    I think I preferred the gum boots, corduroy trousers, and French workman's jacket. But I would say that, wouldn't I.

    I must say you look the bees knees - well from the neck down - can't judge about the rest.
