Ecco shoes. They probably have a good website. Yeah just checked, website is decent and they have a 50% off sale right now

I got lucky and got a pair of nearly new ecco irving in a charity store about two weeks ago, i'm getting on great with them.

I was just in Switzerland and mine took me up and down an alp alright

got a new pair of jeans. feel like a new man.

 

[flashback]

I haven't got a hair cut since well before the pandemic. And I haven't bought any clothes, other than a pair of steel toed boots, a hi-viz jacket, and work trousers, at the local co-op.

I was moving constantly for the last few years, when people asked what I was up to I'd just tell them the local homeless people were complaining, but yeah, it's possibly starting to show.

I don't even know where to get clothes and crap in this country. I just got invited to a black tie event, for some reason, and the shattering reality dawned on me: I'm going to have to get my act together at some point.

Or am I? :dramatic music:

Rent a suit. Don’t sell out.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I've never worn a suit.

 

[flashback]

I've never worn a suit.

I actually felt quite dapper wearing a suit. It's a bit like a force field. Like, you catch yourself in mirrors and think "woah, I'd take that cunt seriously".

But yeah, I'll be renting something for this gig.

I'll probably have to buy shoes for it though now that I think of it, I'm not wearing some manky punter's weird rental shoes.

Birthday suit?

I found a shop while on holidays called "Colourful standard". Plain logo-free t-shirts and hoodies and the like in lots of different colours. It's like it was made just for me. Pricey, but all organic cottom

(I didn't actually buy anything though, cos I'd done some clothes shopping before the hols so probably will do no more until 2027)

Birthday suit?

I knew someone would say that after I posted

 

[ann post]

I have two pairs of the twill jeans, which are expensive for me, but also the best jeans i've ever owned.

I have a number of their trucker caps.

Can I buy more and call it my carbon offset?

How did this go?

It's great getting a haircut and throwing a suit on and seeing that GQ side of yourself

It's still on the horizon. I rang up and they assured me it would all be grand.

I've not really been getting into anything much more fancy than a wetsuit these days.

I bought a suit for my 50th birthday, because ... well, my other suit is probably 20 years old, and I never liked it much anyway. Haven't put it on since except to show the kids (who were impressed, it has to be said). Maybe the thumped christmas party?

 

[therealjohnny]

I have loads of great vintage and contemporary retro suits. But I haven't worn them in years as I've not had the opportunity.

They probably don't fit anymore.

 

[Deadmanposting]

I wanna get some of these "tech pants" like not made of cotton or denim



Lululemon make these ones called ABC - which literally stands for Anti-Ball Crushing - which I can get behind
Just not sure if 50-somethings can pull these off the way that cool 20-somethings can

 

[therealjohnny]

I will buy a pair and let you know

 

[therealjohnny]

Actually, they are a bit dear for something that looks like the trousers I buy for about 30 quid in M&S
