    Whilst there are colours, other than black, that can and do work very well with the PC, I think real care and thought should be put into the basic colour but also the assorted shades of ones colour choice to avoid the circus ringmaster look, or worse still, the look of one of his staff, the clown.

    Wise words as always Mr Scot. In reference to my admiration for the Orange jacket, I should have inserted the word "probably" when describing how I'd snap it up. Barnham and Bailey had crossed the deep recesses of my thought process, but I'd done my level best to repress it. As I am often want to do.

    Arguably the perfect matching footwear??...

    There's a picture of a white one here:
    https://rscdscatalina2010.shutterfly...ctures/159#101

    IMHO, the jabot with a pc is a mistake. But to be fair, it did look
    rather better in person than the picture shows.

    Cheers,

    Some good pictures there, John. Interesting variations on a theme.

    There was a time when sky blue or pink, with ruffles were seen to be somewhat formal. I would never be caught in that, but I am just saying it has been known to happen...lol

    I think that footwear was fashioned after a pair of Sergeant Major's boots ( which would have been black in color ) .... extremely wide at the toe to facilitate a lot of butt kicking !

    PC colors

    I was never keen on the idea of the gentlemen looking like a flock of penguins, while the ladies appear as lovely flowers. I think it's time to re-vamp our ideas of what constitutes men's formal attire.
