I have been known to wear slacks and a sports jacket and in the dim and distant past some garish outfits which were retina scorchers.Certainly a noble head of hair oiled for the occasion in those halcyon days. Edited by Willo (06 Jul 2021 1.57pm)

In terms of attire, when I venture out to a public house/restaurant I invariably wear a jacket and I have received compliments about my natty appearance which of course have been well received!

I recall back in the 80s,men wearing 'Dickie bows' with the two ends joined together with velcro, and also shirts with a pin going through the collar at the front.These were called collar pins or collar bars.I possessed such shirts but have none at present. All looked rather fashionable. Edited by Willo (06 Jul 2021 5.15pm)
