the best part about this is that it means you're going to the talk in plus fours.

Splendid idea Teddy, love the poster. I'm in.

if you're looking for clothing, i was in absolute vintage on hanbury street today (just off brick lane). they have a few of pairs of plus fours, some in larger sizes. there's also a men's vintage shop on cheshire street (maybe three or four doors down from brick lane) that has lots of great stuff.

Edit (due to tweed stampede!):

+1 for the mens vintage shop. They guy is seriously sound. He owns the building out right too, so he can afford to keep the prices reasonable (ish).

the best part about this is that it means you're going to the talk in plus fours.

Thats not an unusual thing for me to do. I'm an ex-tranny / club kid. And I still have a wardrobe that would make my granny turn in her grave. :-) Got the nicest bow tie from All saints today. Its not very tweedy, but still is lovely.

oooh that is so tempting. I have a lovely prince of wales tweed number, and a shop full of tweed caps.

Where is this?

Details to be released but I presume it will be London based? Teddy?

this sounds wicked! london to oxford for tea and cream cakes.. anyone?

oh. yes. sorry, it'll start and finish in central london. it won't be super stressful... maybe 25 kms. it's a social ride, not a race.

| don't really want to break a sweat in my Sunday best.

thats what we want to see JD, the forum actually giving users a better deal...
I'll be with you next weekend without fail, on bike, looking for some tweed goodness so I can join the ride in appropriate attire.

ps. Teddy where's Dan(JDSH) in all this, he's the one of the prime movers (on this forum at least) for the dapper cycling dandy. Is he on the list?

dunno. am expecting dapper dan to sign up at some point (hint) but maybe he's busy with his new fiance...

also teddy didn't congratulate on the immaculate turn out in the photo's above, looking good big man, looking good...

Anyone know where i can get some plus fours off the net, can't seem to find any nice ones. (NOT rapha)

Awesome.

Sounds like a trip we did a while back to Holland - through den haag and back round; three days of sleeping rough - including woods, petrol station forecourts, and a city centre. we pretty much drunk Gin the whole time. but stayed true to form, and didn't remove our tweed ensembles once. had an amazing time. we're planning one to brittany one soon, then maybe one to Morocco and one in April to go clay pigeon shooting...

all in gentlemanly attire.

here are a few snapshots from the trip.
