all in gentlemanly attire.

here are a few snapshots from the trip.

Superprecise · 4th January 2009

fuck yeah! looks brilliant Jeanmi, and makes me think that we'll need a someone to take some proper photos for poshterity...

Superprecise · 4th January 2009

re: photographs, would Mr. Edscoble oblige?

haha, I looked the other day and there were loads in my size, and today there's hardly any, I think the forum is single handedly buying out the entire country's supply of plus fours.

31trum · 4th January 2009

right, i'm not going if i don't win those!!!!!

jonny · 4th January 2009

good work teddy, loving your work. count me in.

wibble · 4th January 2009

I'd be incredibly keen but like many others have a 'need for tweed'

@Corny and anyone else in the same boat - Do you want to do a little tour to pick up the necessaries next week at some point?

cornelius blackfoot · 4th January 2009

wibble we could do a tweed run on the saturday, david saxby - putney to JD's place in camden, thence to Bricklane/ Hanbury St.
I generally don't finish work until after 6, so weeknights are out for me...
you gonna be down to souths tomorrow, we could figure out a plan then, if not we'll continue the discussion in this thread..

Are you Jonny W who used to live in/near Streatham? I remember you from a cycling forum of yore, if so.

jonny · 4th January 2009

hi TB, am indeed the same. sometimes clocked you at the bus stop or on a nice pinarello. now in peckham.

see you on the 24th.

BoBoB · 4th January 2009

Heh, I couldn't remember if I had a different username back then. I've drifted east too, in New Cross now. Still on the Pinarello until next week when I hopefully should finish my stupid neverending Soma build. Hurrah!

Right, I need to go cape shopping.

i know dude. saw your steed parked up outside an offy in camberwell a couple of weeks ago, just didn't get to the spotted thread in a timely fashion. must have standards.

you had the same name there too. i dropped the wilkinson on here cos of too much rugger related confusion. anyway, cape ftw - sherlock holmes style. should pick out a deer stalker too.

Superprecise · 4th January 2009

can anyone recommend some high socks in a nice beige?

wibble · 4th January 2009

Corny, unfortunately I'm in the countryside until next sunday (would the shops be open on a sunday?) but if you're happy to wait another week til the 17th-18th that would be better for me..

Obviously if that's cutting it a bit finer than you'd like we may have to wait for another day to be shopping buddies

cornelius blackfoot · 4th January 2009

wibble,
JD's place is open on sunday, and I'm pretty sure the vintage place in bricklane will be as well, so next sunday's fine...
think we should do it en masse, nothing like the chance for a ride on a cold winters day to try on clothes eh...

not likely dude as it was not for me (a wee bit on the small side). funny, i have dug out this photo but the bike in it, my trusty Copacetic, is built up again, and exactly the same is that.

TB, get over to the South Beers - it's not that long a drag and am sure some head back your way.

Corny - you already have the hat dude - that's the main thing

JD · 4th January 2009

Socks! If you have dollar then cordings in Piccadilly! They also have some serious tweed and cord action! You might even see Eric Clapton as he Co owns the place!

Celadon · 4th January 2009

I'll probably be up for the tweed shopping spree too, if thats all good.

So JD, if one were to pop down to your fine establishment how many of the queens pounds would one have to spend to acquire plus fours, jacket and waistcoat?
Will probably be down next weekend.
Tally Ho!

Let me know what waist size you need and chest and i will see what i have and let you know pricing! Plus i will give discount for forum members and group purchase!

badtmy · 4th January 2009

Well then, chaps! This looks like a jolly good lark, and a leisurely jaunt in some spiffing plus fours would be just what the doctor ordered. Sadly, I must demure, as on the date proposed I shall be off touring the colonies and checking up on the old estate, don't you know.

All that aside, have a rollicking good time, raise a snifter or three and my best regards to all and sundry. Cheerio!

big daddy wayne · 4th January 2009

I say chaps and chapesses - was thinking a country squire like myself should be sporting the moleskine breeks and leave the tweed to you city gents, do hope this won't get me blackballed for the ride

JD · 4th January 2009

I actually prefer cord breeks! More comfort and less chaffing around the nether regions!

tilover · 4th January 2009

oo yes, am up north but this is worth the travelling down...
