2009-01-24 Sat - The Tweed Run I

Tweed smells of wee.

Gaberdine for the win.

Tweed smells of wee.

It's the smell of the upper classes..

I can't ride again until 2nd Week in FEB so have a spiffing little ride out you chaps and chapeesses!

you did WHAT?

I am disapionted in you Dan. If I stood in Highgate and looked out over London I could see your mustash towering over buildings.

Sorry fellas. The marriage proposal required the removal of the "offending" article.
Plus I wasn't getting any.

congratulations dan - good work sir!

Frustratingly can't find any pics of this place:

but it's a great little bar in the centre of town, basically decked out like a forties living room. Great for all aspiring chaps Chaps and Chapettes out there.

congratulations dan - good work sir!

Cheers!

fanTASTIC! I have just the thing, a tweed suit I got off ebay for £30 for my graduation. The shop was called Savvy Row, don't know if they still exist

Gears are fine, but I think loving titanium might offend some of us 531 frightfully awesome chaps.

Too right Skully!

And what better way to reaffirm you are a 531 kinda chap or lady, than sporting one of these rather fetching enamel badges - Murtle(c).

Providing there is sufficient interest I have enamellers ready to make this design a reality to forever grace your smartest tweed jacket.

They are going to be 25mm wide and the "buff" colour in the sample will be gold.

I hope this to be a classically designed and strictly limited run which will be priced around **£2. **

You are in so much trouble if she see's that. Haha

she knows the score!!! (but dont tell her that) ;) lol

i can't wait for this!

Browsed t'Bay t'other day looking for tweed and I end up buying a 1950's swedish military pea-coat... that ISN'T TWEED! I couldn't help myself, so I still have a lack of tweed and I'm down £50 of possible tweed goodness. I'm gonna have to go to some vintage shops now and have the willpower not to buy random other things that tickle my fancy.

post a pic of the pea-coat?

It's dapper enough for the tweed run I'm tinkin' anyway.

veh nice.

I've got one of those. 100% wool. Really warm, and you can fit a bottle of champagne in each one of those back pockets. That's your coat sorted.

Now that is what I call a coat! Where do I get one?

andyp- I got mine from an army surplus. If you can find one, buy it. They are a brilliant cycling coat.

Celadon, that's jaw-dropping gorge.

pipes! 531 badges! YES! YES! i am so excited.
