Thanks for your kind comment. It is similar to my uniform as a child but not in those colours.MissRachel wrote: June 18th, 2019, 11:14 pmHello Mike!Miker_uk wrote: June 18th, 2019, 8:28 am It may be June and sometimes sunny but no excuse not to wear a mackintosh in case of a sudden shower.

Tell me about this outfit. You look amazing. Is the uniform a replica of the one you wore as a child?

Glad you like them.
I was on the train going to work yesterday and to make a long story short, a women commented to me that she missed the styles of the 50-60s. People just do not dress with any style anymore. Mike, I think we need to show off our collection of nostalgic clothing as often as we can. Some dress up only privately and that is ok. I love to dress up and walk outside.Miker_uk wrote: June 20th, 2019, 9:27 pmThanks for your kind comment.

My uniform was very similar to this:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/miker_uk/26227672528 and https://www.flickr.com/photos/miker_uk/39390104214. The green gaberdine in https://www.flickr.com/photos/miker_uk/42649905514 was worn by girls.
I did wear short trousers until I was 16 (most boys were in long trousers by around 12-13 years old) and I wore a gaberdine raincoat until I left school at 18 although it was not compulsory after the 5th form.

You're right about the lack of style; such a pity. I like your gold mackintosh especially. I can only see two photos, though; I just get spinning symbol if I try to click right to look for any others. Have you thought about Flickr for your photos. They do a free account still up to 1000 photos.MissRachel wrote: June 21st, 2019, 10:52 am

Hello Miker, I add a few more pictures of me outside, see if you can navigate to them. If not here are links to the "Christmas in my red cape" and my lovely blue PVC coat I bought from the UK !Miker_uk wrote: June 23rd, 2019, 2:57 pmYou're right about the lack of style; such a pity.
