I'm definitely missing some context here.

It's (exactly) the sort of thing pater wore when surveying C-A from a speeding Landie or rusting RR.

I think I'm having an attack of oddly aspirational chappery.

"with his hacking jacket and firewalled trousers, there was nothing to stop him..."

[FX: Hysterics]

Hacking jacket. Of course!

[drumiller.livejournal.com]

so what's in the DMZ is what I want to know.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Landmines.

[jarkman.livejournal.com]

Some kind of fine check shirt, Sensible Trousers ? And what's the footwear ?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Tattersall shirt from West Midland Farmers, moleskin trousers, boots from the safety centre catalogue. (He said, without having to think about it at all)

[jarkman.livejournal.com]

You should get the outfit. Then you'll know what you really think. Tie ?

[avocadovpx.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting to hear the one ironic article he would wear to counterbalance the whole outfit.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

After the rant to which I subjected you at VP, for which I apologise again, I guess it's a bit redundant to point out that the jacket itself is the ironic article.

(But: black turtleneck, black boot-cut jeans, boots of a sixties mien. I think.)

[avocadovpx.livejournal.com]

Is it even possible to wear the hacking jacket, the tattersall shirt, the moleskin trousers, and the safety centre boots (?) and add one other item to proclaim the whole outfit nullified?

And apologising? I asked for it, and no furniture was thrown. Counts as a success in my book.

[ Available eBay, may need pink electrical tape/gaffer to bulk handle]

Failing that, badge on lapel - I'd favour DDR/ChiCom memorabilia.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

A 'class war' badge. That'll confuse everyone.

Of course I am missing all of the cultural references with regard to said jacket. However, it is a mighty spiffy jacket.

Were you thinking of getting one to wear while you are positioned in front of your keyboard, typing madly away at your next short story or novel? I think it would be great!

[jarkman.livejournal.com]

Then he'd need a pipe.

[sarah-mum.livejournal.com]

and a monacle?

[jarkman.livejournal.com]

Dunno. I'm guessing Navy-surplus binoculars would be more likely eyewear. But more for the country living thing than the writing. Unless using a very, very long pencil.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

The binoculars are in the car, where every right-thinking person keeps them.

[jarkman.livejournal.com]

Of course. How could I be so forgetful.

So, when does this sartorial adventure begin ?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

This even, assuming absolutely minimal bidding.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Oops... :)

[jarkman.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Forwards in a chap direction!

[quercus.livejournal.com]

'orrible. Nothing like tweedy enough.
Idea is good, but the M&S extra pocketed jacket does not however make you into the Duke of Beaufort.

You need the Hardy Amies variant from Hepworths. Not unheard of out there on Yabe.

Oh god John tweed. Still you will be able to pull it off. Andrew just looks like toad of toad hall!!
