Trying to raise the style standard

[Londonshooter]

You can call me Mr. Butler

I don't think those boots are period correct.

Don't listen to him, John. You are looking good!

If you would like to speak to Mr. Butler then formal address is necessary, Alvaro.

Well-dressed! And hammers!

Hahaha.

If its any consolation, I have the exact same boots and I struggled mightily to get them off today. Snow got inside the liner and melted and somehow fused to my sock. While struggling to get the left one off, my right foot slipped and I landed on my ass. How is that for style!

 

[Londonshooter]

Small consolation.
Mine have construction adhesive from a job we did installing structural insulating panels on a timber frame. Looks like dog poop but I pretend I just came from the stables checking on my Arabian. And that's Mr. to you.
(wink!)

Adding to the thread, a nice Verney Carron jacket, complete with a built in game pouch, that I picked up at a great little shop in Paris.

OMG That's hilarious because it's true! Just remember, it didn't pay to get on his bad side.

Don't know what you're talking about. I don't look anything like that goof on the right.

 

[the spank]

Maybe we should all aspire to this?

So, I've shot a couple times with Parkspipes and he's always so stylish in his shooting waistcoat. I'm feeling like a bit of a bum, right? With my ball cap and squash shoes.
With his permission I'll post a pic from our sporting clays get-together this summer.
Early this year I learned that GastonGlock is closing their webstore with drastic price cuts. So I ordered this: https://www.gastonglockstyle.com/hu...hunting-apparel-vests/classic-tweed-vest.html
and one of these
https://www.gastonglockstyle.com/hu...pparel-hats-caps/rollable-hat-monte-viso.html
Then, one of my skeet friends shows up at the club with a very nice - and as it turns out relatively bargain-priced - tweed shooting jacket made in England. Yeah, I ordered one in a different colour. Because, well just because image is going to help my shooting somehow. And I did need a new jacket.
Their website is crazy slow to load but I think this is the item:
https://www.walkerandhawkes.com/sho...-shooting-hunting-country-jacket-brown-tweed/
My shooting friends are like, "I don't know how to think about you now. Do I call you Mister?"
I think I am going to draw the line at breeks, though. Would feel a bit of a toff, now wouldn't I?
Carry on, cheerio!

Orvis used to carry a lot of British shooting apparel but seem to have more or less given up on it, must have gone out of style down south. When they do have such items, the prices are rather very much higher than seen in the above links, but of course Orvis would only carry the top U brands. Again, that would be in the period I posting about,
