I must say that your outfit looks wonderful, I have to admit that at first I was not convinced that a cordoroy jacket would work, however you have proven me wrong. I really like the look with the waistcoat and I like the fact that you are using both a pocket watch and a pocket square, good show.

Ted, I just love the outfit. You look great!

Thanks, McMurdo. Perhaps this is starting a trend.

And thanks English Bloke , Southern Breeze, and all.

I hope you wouldn't mind having an Aussie twin?? I really like your hose too. Saw them in the other thread. Brilliant! Such a great match of colours and textures. The country gentleman incarnate! If only I could find a suitable corduroy jacket... Hmm... Very classy indeed mate!

PS- The pocket watch is a very genteel touch! (particularly with the history)

Guess this is starting a trend.

Thanks, scottography.

The corduroy jacket and waistcoat have a bit of a history too. It was tailored in South Korea for my step father when he was around seventeen. His father was a Colonel in the Air Force and stationed there. I think the jacket is about thirty years old... This has put it back into good use.

Ted,
That's probably one of the very best, no, make that the single best outfit I've seen on X Marks. Very traditional, and stylish, in that quiet way a gentleman dresses. I am impressed. Well done, Sir.
