Fox waterproof trousers, a t-shirt with cute cat on that says I hate you, decathalon boxers.
An original drapecoat from the 50s - and a dark suit from the 50s
Also my leather jacket
My Gerber, found a box spares for various bikes yesterday and my sleeping bag I thought I’d lost.
Yes, I am decluttering.
Paul Smith suit, matched with a Vivian Westwood Money shirt and my favourite Cheaney shoes. Suit hasn’t had an outing for some time! I can still fit in it now I’m back training though. i also have a worn once Moss Bros morning suit. Needs a trip to Ascot really.
The only real high quality item I have in my wardrobe is a 3/4 length Burberry coat. It's a total one off made just for me after I got chance to go to the factory where they are made. They made it to measure and I got to choose a custom lining (the coat I chose is a water resistant one that came with a silk type lining usually but I chose a warmer woollen lining).
I paid about a tenth of retail price and it's still probably the most expensive item in my wardrobe 😎
Any quality jeans in there Tj?
🙂
'viagra boys' hoodie
'idles' t-shirt
spiderman outfit (long story, bought to make my grandaughter smile cos she thought i was actually spiderman at a country show we went to 😀 )
A pair of Loake tan leather brogue boots
An MF DOOM signature ring by Han Cholo
A very battered Diamond Supply hoodie because it's the first present Mrs boardinbob ever bought me many years ago
Didn't know people kept rings in Wardrobes.Mind,why do we keep shoes in there?
Hebtroco trousers, karate club hoodie, radio controlled car.
My Rega Planar 3 deck, all of my vinyl and some clothes.
I don't own a wardrobe as I gave all of my money to hebtroco 😅
A 303 Jacket, Cognac Cord Overshirt and some GVNR 16 double black jeans.
Just digitising my vinyl collection now!
As of this afternoon, a VELVET dinner jacket. Not just that, a Hugo Boss VELVET dinner jacket. Worn a claimed once (it's mint) and bought on Vinted for £40. RRP is £500. Came in an amazing Hugo Boss suit bag too. I feel dead posh.
I am Hugh Hefner and I claim my own £5.
2nd and 3rd on the list are an irrelevance compared to my VELVET dinner jacket.
Edwin jeans
Air Max 1’s
Clements and Church suit.
Hiut Jeans
Custom made suit
This T-shirt
Gieves & Hawkes mtm suit, back when I needed to wear a nice suit sometimes. No idea if it still fits.
Fender strat case.
All my bike gear is in the garage.
a donegal tweed jacket. a -25 rated down coat. a northface very thin base layer which is about 25 years old.and they no longer make.
A kilner of sloe gin, some unopened bargains from CRC among all the 1990’s clobber (my fashion tastes seem to be stuck in my 20’s, I am a sorry sight).
Not in my wardrobe - more of a cupboard under the stairs thing - but a bit of rare Italian made Filson Sherpa-line Parka. Bargain ebay find posted that I didn't realise was an intenational seller - came from Ukraine not long before everything went to shit. Wouldn't have known anything about them but a German photographer I worked with left his one in my van once - really liked so took a snap of the label before posting it back to him so I could get one for myself only to find they were unobtainium. Must have saved the search as years later I got an ebay notification and snapped it up.
In fact all the best bits in my wardrobe are Ebay finds - a thick wooden 1970s Woolrich Alaskan shirt and a pair of Huit Jeans that were seemingly unworn
Best or most liked?
They're different IMO.
Best...fully bespoke 3 pce suit in black with blood red lining, black semi-brogues by Church, vintage Jil Sander shearling jacket (£250 pre-owned; £3k when new).
Gimp mask, spreader bar & handcuffs.
...sorry, wrong thread.
Any quality jeans in there Tj?
I reckon that when nobody is looking, Uncle Jezza dons his double denim in homage to his favourite group and dances round the house singing
Got my kilt when I was 18. Worn it to numerous marriages, my graduation, out clubbing loads, got married in it. I had to get it taken in in my early 20s. Not got it taken back out to it's original size in my 40s. RoseKilts.com in Edinburgh if anyone cares.
Not sure what numbers 2 & 3 would be.
Frahm Parka
Levis 501's - 32w, 34l. They just fit so well
Timberland Heritage boots
Not in the same league as some above, but probably a Patagonia Fjord insulated overshirt*, a Castelli Perfettto ROS, and some old Howies jeans I've just had repaired after a couple of years out of circulation.
*I've got a couple of regular Fjord flannel shirts, which I got a couple of years ago to replace two more that wore out after about twenty years. I'd always fancied one of the insulated ones and finally treated myself when they were reduced in the new year. Getting nice clothes just because I like them is rare for me!
Buffalo mountain shirt
Buffalo cycle shirt
Too many goretex shoes/boots to count(Sister used to work for Clarks and I got a new pair every year)
Must check out huit jeans sometime.They seem somewhat popular on here.

I'm going to style myself on a typical STW'er
Said no one, ever 😂😉
A Lion and a Witch and a hide 'n' seeker.
"Not got it taken back out to it’s original size in my 40s."
Kilts come in sizes? Do you not just tuck it in your pants and throw it over your shoulder?
A suit jacket that's slighlty too big for me. I don't really do smart.
This T-shirt
got that t-shirt as well but not in as good nick so no longer in the best items list. At the moment the best are
Kilt from Veronica Rose
A shirt from here from a few years ago that is no longer on sale but is easily my favourite.
homage to his favourite group and dances round the house
Dances like me Da,
An aero highwayman leather jacket, bought when they had a shop in Edinburgh. A pair of 501’s bough in 1985 and a trashed pair of bluestones I travelled the world in in the early 90’s. Jeans obs don’t fit!
Donegal tweed coat
Edwin jeans
Tricker's Ethans
I've got a bit of an addiction to clothes from Private White VC. Look forward to it raining so I can wear the ventile mac.
My wedding suit was from Richard James in Saville Row. It's a beautiful thing.
Funnily though first item I reach for is a Howie's sweatshirt that is falling apart. Mrs doesn't agree that sweatshirts look better as they age. Fear one day she'll bin it when I'm not looking.
A vintage Kobe Bryant basketball jersey (with letters and numbers stitched on, rather than printed)
A Rapha hoodie
A pair of Nike AF1s in white, with gum soles and dark green swoosh
There are more expensive items in there, but those are the three I like best
Wait, so Jeans are unacceptable, but leather jackets are? Those rules make no sense.
Its not fancy but a Rab vapour rise trail smock from about 2006. Best general outdoor / riding jacket ever.
Yeh nickc,I was wondering about that.I thought the older gent was supposed to avoid the leather jacket look.
