WalkedUp Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 I am going to the races tomorrow and so have cracked out my late father-in-law’s shooting suit. Had to have it tailored to remove the turn ups and taper the legs into a modern fit, pinch the the jacket into a less boxy V, loosen the waist, and repair a rip on the waist coat but other than that it’s in fine condition ... being almost older than I am. I showed my boys and told them that when I’m gone it will be theirs to wear. My eldest said yes, and if we have sons they can have it too. Very pleased to keep it going. The tailor put awful grey buttons on it due to time constraints, I’ve since coloured them in with a Sharpie permanent marker and they look convincing. Considering how much work he had to do to the jacket, waist coat and trousers in a 24hr turn around I felt the £40 was a bargain. Bromborough Tailoring, Wirral.

7daysinaweek Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Very smart Walked up and what a wonderful way of showing your respect. Good man! I take it you off to Aintree tomorrow? If I get up on my roof with my binos I may just be able to pick you out. Give me a wave! Any roads, have a superb day tomorrow, drink beer, have a punt and enjoy the National in all it's glory. 🐴🍺 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Chester races for the intimate atmosphere, sitting next to the stable block etc. Not sure what it will be like tomorrow but a client is taking me. Hope it will be a good day and will give you a wave. Got meetings in Manchester in the morning, then meant to be teaching Master’s level architecture in the afternoon but I’ve bumped the students to Friday for the 11.30am meet 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
