At Villa Monastero on Lake Como. I really do love these trousers. 

[Royohboy]

Are these the Ellington trousers?

[Urrah]

No, they're the original cream flannel trousers.

[Edward2.0]

Love those flannels. A jacket in the same cloth would be nice.

[Sean Longden]

The trousers look good. But i couldn't imagine wearing them in the summer!

[Edward2.0]

Yes, I think the cream ones would be ideal for a particulalry cool but dry April, or, perhaps, an unusually cold Summer? Maybe an August trip to the Southern Hemisphere....

[Urrah]

They were actually quite nice to wear. Being WIDE is the key.

[Edward2.0]

Good point -traps in the cool air.

Compering the 2019 Chap Olympiad at the Thirle Vintage Weekend, last Sunday:



Wearing SJC breathable cotton shirt (lovely, though alas a tiny bit of fraying at the cuff on its third wash). Also SJC Spectators (not in picture).

Keep meaning to say this, but since we were both wearing SJC, we should of taken a snap together!

[Edward2.0]

Dur, yes - that would have been a good idea! Next time!

Polos are a staple for me these days... the cellular ones are even better, in this case combined with SJC chinos, too.



The pic was taken at the very place in Barcelona where Agustí Centelles captured a very well known image of a "Guardia de Asalto" armed police officer on 19 July 1936, at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.

That would be a great look for a re-enactment outfit!

Actually, Edward, my photo above is part of the reconaissance I did to locate the exact spot. I do reenact the Spanish Civil War, and am completing a Guardia de Asalto impression - once I gather the necessary items (hopefully in a few weeks), I intend to reproduce Centelles's wartime image.

[Urrah]

That's really very cool.

All SJC at work today! Vaugan trousers & cap, green polo and cardigan.
