Clothing

[Sybarite]

You would think that, over the centuries, clothes could have been made more efficient in relation to the weather. I'm thinking of everyday wear like suits and blazers.

Raincoats let your legs get wet; shoes are rarely waterproof; most clothes get sodden after sustained exposure to rain.

Surely it is not beyond man's technical competences to design a suit that is waterproof, light, having a turn-up collar which would be water-tight, and made of a breathable material such as Goretex.

I am not sure if I would like the rustling noise as I walk up the office. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Its true, all true. More than once. I also have sailed around North Foreland and home to Ramsgate wearing full dinner suit.
But I follow my illustrious Father, who set off water skiing from a jetty wearing an Italian tailored box suit in 2 tone Mohair also complete with shirt and tie. History recorded that the trousers shrank about an inch and a half, and we were treated to one of my Mums oh-so-rare 2 foot off the ground hover-roars.

I'm certain that last week I saw a Mobo coming over Chichester Bar and the 'skipper' was wearing a boater, blazer, collar and tie. I wish I could have grabbed my camera /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
