Spangler a local man who lives in my area dresses like you describe and it makes my day when I see him on the high street.
Such a compliment, I am truly flattered.

Spangler You remind me of my late husband - well turned out until his death. His signature: red socks, pocket handkerchief and beautiful shoes polished to see yourself. I heard my DD comment "I do wish men today were as well and smartly turned out as my F always was".
Your husband's attire sounds wonderful, he's my kind of fellow. What a compliment to be compared with him, thank you, to both of you.
One of the first threads I read as a contributing member was this one about cycling. The surgeon who performed my hip replacement told me that impact exercise like jogging isn't a good thing for an artificial hip, at least not for a year or two, as that's how long it needs to "bed in." But swimming and cycling are excellent exercises to keep the hip working well.
I read all the posts and thought about contributing but everyone seemed to be of the lycra set. Nothing wrong with that of course, but it's not exactly my style. Not only that my bike goes back to my childhood. As a small boy my feet couldn't reach the pedals, however, my grandmother's old bike didn't have a crossbar and I was able to stand on the pedals without risking crushed nuts syndrome. How I loved riding out on that bike, I'm sure that today's parents would freak out if their kids rode a bike amongst the traffic as I did when I was just a little boy, back then I never gave danger a second thought.
Now that I feel more confident and with such complimentary remarks, I can show my grandmother's bike because I still have it. And as for a cyclist's lycra outfit, I will leave that for those who prefer synthetic to natural fibre. Here's that thread. www.gransnet.com/forums/sport/1280839-Lets-get-cycling
