    Get yourself a Belstaff, Bob. You'll look a lot less like a born again hooligan then bud

    I like the Outlaw but at 1350 sheets it's out of my price range.
    Treat yourself. If not, Derek who sometimes posts on here as a Charlton coat he is struggling to offload.

    Just to give a bit more info -
    I fail pretty much all the Charlton Life acceptable dress code tests.
    Over 40
    Jeans all the time, either with a t shirt or casual shirt
    Trainers (Vans/converse types) as standard
    Suit for weddings/funerals only
    No brown shoes



    Feck me, you only have to add you drink WKD blue straight from the bottle and your Charltonlife membership will be revoked immediately. ;)
    How very dare you. Always in a glass over ice.

    If you want one and you're confident wearing it then just buy it.

    yeah, what could go wrong..

    I dunno 30 odd posts in on a Charlton Life fashion thread, and no mention of cardigans/knitwear. You're slipping lads.

    bbob. Let me help you. Anyone over thirty cannot adopt any fashion that has come and gone.
    Unless you were around in the Mod/Suedehead era (ahem)
    In this case there is a special exemption (article 54398/B)
    in the Lisbon treaty.
    Dr Martin boots (preferably oxblood) Indigo Blue jeans (preferably Levi's, unless your too mean to pay £60)
    Ben Sherman checked shirt, covered by a V-neck sweater Maroon or Blue. And if it's a bit chilly? Harrington jacket, again Maroon or Blue. To complete the ensemble' a Tootal scarf.
    Timeless style worn by timeless men.........oh yeah!


    A tidy Lambretta is an optional extra.

    What about a DM tasseled loafer in oxblood?

    And I was also gonna suggest, but it completely slipped my mind. Bob, have you considered a sheepskin?

    Nah, you want a Barbour wax jacket, tweed cap, checked cotton shirt, red waistcoat with a pocket watch, mustard coloured chords and some brown brogues

    Ive still got one and I’d definitely be classified as too old and I don’t have a motorbike. It’s probably about 30 years old and nicely worn in. But to be honest I never wear it because I try to avoid wearing leather. I’ve often thought of chucking it out but can’t bring myself to do so. I might be tempted to get rid, if it had a good home to go too?
    Finally threw it out!

    No, don’t do it. It’s all about the double denim look.

    You definitely can wear socks with cropped trousers especially if it's a suit.

    Sure can.  It's gonna make no difference to the "full sandwich short of a picnic" look.
  • Walk around the bars in Canary Wharf and every c*** under the age of 30 has trousers on that fit like that.  I don't get it, why the f*** would I want to see your socks you colossal cockwomble!
