I am not amused. He does take good care of "HIS" favourites, though, my opinions be darned :P<br /><br />The good news is that the leisure suit pattern is right up his alley, especially if I narrow those trousers a little bit. He really likes the slim fit and mega-pointed collars of seventies shirts. Otherwise, that bathrobe looks really cozy!Alexus1325https://www.blogger.com/profile/17929629041165443313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-39523917483427804632011-03-11T17:39:09.102-05:002011-03-11T17:39:09.102-05:00Great videos in the next post!

Women can wear everything, but men have hardly any choice at all!

And he looks even more handsome now! Some vintage inspiration for next time would be be great!!<br /><br />As for the patterns, the vest would be very useful for us (have spent weeks looking for one that fit just right in the past). And when I finally finish his shirt he can wear the two together.Roxynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-3488457912416536742011-03-10T18:57:55.348-05:002011-03-10T18:57:55.348-05:00Make sure you keep that coffee away from your lapt...Make sure you keep that coffee away from your laptop, or more than your internet will be out!
