That shirt collar is where its at for me.
That was a charity shop find only cost a £1 too, from a brand called ''armando'' around 90% percent of my wardrobe is second hand.

The moth holes don't bother me honestly, and i have a American made tweed jacket what has worse ones, can't say i have ever had anyone notice them, and if they did it wouldn't bother me.

The final Soul Shack from the STAR studio (but not the final podcast - they will continue) features a lot of really great 60s tracks, plus some 70s roots reggae and a few surprises. Kate and I go on for two hours, plenty of banter and about 29 great tracks.

Ivy-Prest Slacks

The perfect trouser for just about any occasion.

These poly/cotton stone poplin slacks are a comfortable light weight for spring and summer and have a permanent crease to ensure a sharp aesthetic all the time.

A few nice features are the continental tab closure, metal zipper, and secret coin pocket on the waistband.

The fit is a high-rise that sits on the waist, just below the navel, with a trim 15 inch leg opening at the hem.

Ivy-Prest Slacks are made to order, send a DM with waist and inseam measurements and if you prefer cuff or no cuff.

Made in USA

Thanks. I enjoyed that and have started listening to some of the older editions. Trying to paint window frames while listening to Stax classics is not necessarily a good idea though :)

On a soul theme, the vintage clothes place I linked to a few days ago is a couple of miles away from a pub called the Navigation Inn. I have heard Johnnie Walker mention it before as it is a place where he DJed before becoming a pirate. In the autobiography he did for Radio 2 recently, he said the Navigation, in its day, attracted people from all over the country - he described it as being for soul/R&B in the mid-60s what the Wigan Casino was for Northern Soul. I was surprised - the village is really small, so an influx of revellers must have been quite a thing.

You'd need two buses to get there!

There is a train from Brum & Stratford though the station is about the size of one from Rod Stewart's layout. I don't suppose there were many late night trains.

It was just a saying about places like that from years ago. I think I've had a drink there but I'm not sure.
