Thank you very much. I think I am going to try that as well.

I like to wear separates more than suits. Any ideas on combining the vaugan jacket? So far I have tried tan which worked ok, but let me know your thoughts.
awesome! This cotton makes for the perfect summer jacket in the UK. The fluffy inside gives a bit of warmth when the temperature drops at night.
Please make the same (maybe with old button spacing) in more colours, Simon.

Jason, I would consider combining the vaugan jacket with brown moleskin (for autumn/winter) trousers or canvas (for spring summer) in a warm, reddish brown shade. That would be a suitably 'work wear' combination.
Interesting hearingfolks combine it with browns and earthtones - I'd stick to greys, blacks, blues myself, but then I've never especially been a fan of mixing black and brown. Unless it's a Rottweiller, obvs.

On my feet are plimsols. White soles, leopard print textile tops. Vans wanted seventy quid for something similar. Mine were twelve quid from the ladies section in Sainsburys. ![]()

Here is my four year old son. His biggest idol is Tom Waits and he loves the SJC pomade i got for him. I wish I had half the sense of style he has!

Corduroy will look great with it in fall. Vaughan jacket, indigo blue shirt and brown or black cords... tres french. (06-14-2018, 06:19 PM)bluescaptain Wrote: Here is my four year old son.

I remember myself as a little nipper listening to my parent's tape of The Wall by Pink Floyd. I was entranced by the weirdness and the darkness of it all, without being able to fully grasp the complexity of it. I am sure my tastes were shaped at that very young age by the various sounds and sights around the house.

In the early-mid-late seventies, of all the great stuff that was around, my parents chose to listen to..... The Carpenters. and James Last.
I often believe this is why I was such an angry teen.

I can never remember my parents actually listening to any music just for the singular enjoyment of it. They had a 'stereo' of sorts, one of those all in one, flat bed music centres from Dixons, and a selection of records, all of which were from the same category of 'easy listening' (or 'shit' to use its more technically correct term) that your parents favoured Edward. James Last, Frankie Vaughan, Engelbert Humperdinck, Nana Mouskouri, ... all the greats.
I don't think they actually liked music.
8 track player in the Cadillac Seville, and Bing Crosby on the Hi-fi (Marantz).

The sounds of Shirley Bassey, the West Side Story Soundtrack and my Dad's curious 1950s Egyptian female singer's LP coming out of the living room ... the sound of David Bowie coming from my sister's bedroom.
It was no surprise I ended up listening to Jacques Brel!
