Great picture!
The anti-macassar on the bedchair pillow is a nice touch. And where can I get a bivvy like that?

A bit disappointed there, Bluelabel. I did a google search for the JRC twin skin but there weren't any like yours. They're all green. Couldn't find a nice red and white one anywhere!

Ah, shame. It matched your fez and smoking jacket so well.

When I was a lad Richard Walker was the angler I and my old fishing buddy most looked up to. It was essential therefore that we each had to have a floppy hat - without it nothing would be caught. I still have that hat somewhere and this thread has inspired me to search the house for it.
Some years later after spending 2 fruitless years carp fishing at a local pool I hit the jackpot with a 21lb 4oz common carp after less than 15 minutes with free lined bread cast to the edge of the reeds. I was wearing an old green jumper and still have it to this day - it was just too much to see it thrown out. It is now threadbare and very thin but occasionally in the summer it is brought out and worn where it still has its magic powers.

Thought I'd bump this topic with a picture of me dressed in my tweeds.
