Oh dear, are we becoming RELEVANT???

...glanced back to find a Chinese student lassie following me, trying to read what is said on my back !

Did she? And if she did, what was her reaction?

I was with Mrs O and in my 40s at the time, so talking to her might have seemed a bit weird.

It wasn't already weird with her stalking you?

Gosh. And just when I'd dug my waxed cotton Barbour out to look all "country" (and keep dry in these parts) I see I've just managed to dodged a trend. Close shave that.

Yes but you do know that the horsey-type, country gent chap look is going to be next after the flying jacket thing Flashy.

Yourself and poor old Steve are going to be mortified by trips down to the local pub which will be stuffed to the gunwales with pubescent youths from the city in waxed jacket knockoffs!

It's sort of like when the "grunge" fad became the hot thang.

Really? I've been wearing flannel shirts and jeans since 1974 -- NOW I'm hip?

You're probably right Smithy. Maybe I should try a "collab" of Country Breeks x A2 on the Forum and see how that lands .... Paging @Micawber ...

If you have a company making moleskin strides and Tattersall shirts, now's the time to sell it for a bunch to Zara!

I swear I could hear the gasps in some quarters when Clapton got his mitts on Cordings but the company has done ok offering much the same as ever. Traditional style is no bad thing, what goes around comes around and all that.

Joking aside I think in this day and age Steve there's less nonsense and snobbishness about "casual" things like Tattersall shirts, cord, moleskins, etc.

I live in Tattersalls and cords over the cooler months. I swore I wouldn't when I was a teenager and looked at my Dad, and uncles and grandad. But now I'm over 50, well the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree ;-)

It will be interesting to see. it seems that leather jackets are rather unpopular in my part of the US unless Western inspired. What has really taken off in the past few years is waxed canvas, I think due to the popularity of Yellowstone and The Last of Us. Frankly, I am a HUGE fan of waxed canvas. Perhaps its one thread.

Come on. Beth loves a shearling! (Not disagreeing. Currently watching 1923.)

Looks like the Gap bought them in '83 and I can date some of my purchases to around '85 thru '89 -- so they didn't turn to their current line of fashion over night.

I remember one favorite shirt was a heavy, bleached cotton, long-sleeved number with a thin, tan pinstripe that was (supposedly) inspired by mattress ticking.

The pants I wore with it were a medium brown brushed cotton with unique dual front pockets. A very 30s or 40s cut to them with cuffed legs (but I could have had that done myself).

Don't ask me how I remember these things.

Agree Chandler… I still have at least one (maybe two) of those mattress ticking shirts that I’ve kept over the years.

 

[CBI]

yes she does, 1923 is good as well..........

Nice! I wore through the elbows of mine and finally let it go. Snap a pic if you can.

Interesting that it has a screened label -- not sure they were doing that in the '50s.

Not a bad price, but that hole in the sleeve?
