Dunno. Up to you. It could make the split way worse. Unless they are grim, I wouldn't wash them, but apologise to the shop assistant.

yet more vintage 60s togs - this time a lee jeans jacket, except made from some weird gold-ish velvet material. pics when i get home i guess...

Gold velvet eh? can't wait

 

[killer b]

You knows it shirl.

can't quite capture the shimmeryness, sorry. it looks like this, but a bit more shimmery. my bezzer reckons it's fine cord, and it does have stripes in it i guess, but feels more velvety? i dunno. quite like it anyway, so it's going in the spring jacket selection...

 

[nagapie]

Feck! The trousers i bought to wear while my suit trousers were being repaired split whilst I was bending down to fetch my ticket out of my bag in order to get my fixed trousers back.
Is this crotch-splitting a common problem with trousers?

It's all those 3 course meals you've been eating since you became waged again.

 

[Orang Utan]

Hardly! They'd be splitting elsewhere! I've lost weight, not gained it - all that cycling!

Needlecord. The good news is that it tends to be less prone to getting bald patches rubbed in it than wider ribbed corduroy.

Stop fishing for compliments - the haircut's good and you're as lovely as ever.

I think my hair looks great, yes

I've invested in some ... ehem.... 'Wingz'. I can't find a long sleeved black shirt for under things, but which has a low enough neck, so I'll give this thing a go

They mention different thicknesses, but I can't work out which are which, as they look the same on every page. We'll see what shows up

found a nice pair of black dress shoes, handmade by grenson of northampton on the bootmarket this AM.

 

[gaijingirl]

I think M&S do something similar to those wingz..?

 

[Mation]

Shoes that fit me!!

Congrats on that - I know how frustrating and demoralising it can be to find nothing which you like and which fits your feet.

Those are bloody brilliant!! I may have to purchase!

I laughed when they were on Dragon's Den, and now look at me.

I'll be buying comfortable shoes next.

They were shapewear ones, for which they got slated. These don't squeeze you in.

Just bought some too. : D

 

[killer b]

these are today's shoes anyway - they look well odd - no seams!

Well the Wingz arrived, and they're not bad, Would have preferred the sleeves to be a bit closer fitting, but over all, they're good. Feel a bit weird when you put them on, but not uncomfortable.

I wondered about that and almost bought a smaller size but then worried they'd be like flight socks on my arms.

I ordered three on impulse after seeing the post the other day.

Haven't got them yet as the guys from the place questioned my order due to me ordering two regular and one tall and they wanted to make sure I hadn't made a mistake. I missed their call and have only had a chance to check my emails today.

I can't decide whether its good customer service or just a bit annoying.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Got some only-a-tiny-bit pre-worn black 10 hole DMs coming, 1490s, polished as billy-o. And a pair of second-hand Levis, so light blue they're grey.

 

[Orang Utan]

Got some Farahs today as i am trying to smarten up to a more mature look before i turn 40.

Tobacco cords.
I coveted Farahs when I was a lad but they were always too dear.
These were only £20.

Shoe shopping was disheartening
