Why thank you, miss.

As soon as I recharge my camera (because after I found it, I went on a photo-rampage) I shall post pictures of a more steampunk bent.

Well, as there's no 'Apparell' thread, I'll have to use this one to show orf my newest aquisition:

New overcoat:

And in a slightly more informal pose:

Okay, somebody had to do it... - Page 5 Newcoat2

I've been eyeing a pair of coats up in an outpost of Mr. T.K. Maxx's emporium, and as the grey and black one had gone today, I had to purchase the chocolate brown one- as luck would have it, it goes very well with one of my brown waistcoats, even if I disturbed the eternal rest of a poor unfortunate spider in order to extricate it from my wardrobe... Sad

Brown herringbone, with a brown velvet collar- exquisite!

Outstanding as always, Herr Dr. markf

Oh my word that is indeed a beautiful coat, emmeline_x. Good find!

Mr Raethorne, your axes are rather attractive. Do you wave them about in your garden? I have a pair and periodically take them outside to practice my moves and exercise the old muscles, much to the disconcertation of the neighbours Laughing

markf Thu Oct 23, 2008 10:35 pm

Excellent taste Ms X - your coat is not radically different from my 1890 replica Knights Templar long coat (made from a 1930s used light/medium weight overcoat). markf

Excellent taste Mr. Markf, although I'm reffering to your vehicle (I assume its yours).
A series 2 I assume.
(I have a slightly newer version in silver)
I tend to wear my "Drizabone" long riding coat in mine in order to keep dry, even though its the station-waggon varient as pictured behind your good self.
(A wonderful vehicle although waterproofing was not high on the designer's list - even when new they are fitted with drainage holes in the floor)

Not in the garden, no, but the wild jungle that I call my back yard? The one that connects to a park full of children? Yes, I wave them around there quite often.

Also, when I got home after having purchased them, the first thing I did was hold them high and shout barbarically at my neighbors. And the random college kids that were walking by, who were rather impressed and intimidated by them. Glorious times....

The long coat is needed for the MG-TD, which essentially has no top but such coats are very warm indeed, as I suspect Ms X will find out soon as the season changes. I'm also steampunking the car a bit, so I need the big coat to keep warm this winter. markf

hardly steampunk, but shorter. inspired slightly from Alphonse Elric's hair (when he has it) and whatsisface... Harvey Dent's hair in the Dark Knight.

Kickass Coat, Mrs. X. Smile

Just a quick shot of me at work. I got paid in black granny boots. I am a lucky girl with a squid hat.

Perhaps more Tomb Raider crosed with Steampunk, just a couple of me in new top hat, chest suspendery things made by Kato and steampunk pockets that I bought on Etsy Smile

Unfortunately I cut my head off in the second one but at least you can see the outfit! (apologies for all the modern entertainment devices in the background!)

Emmeline_X, I love the look of the formal top hat with the adventure gear suspender vest and spare pockets! Those spare pockets are genius.

Miss Gaslight Mon Oct 27, 2008 6:32 am

Well I got those and a taller pair with black lace for around seventy-five dollars but I got an employee discount. They retail for around forty I think. They are very comfortable but I have manged to scuff them a bit but they polished right up.

Dandeliondream Mon Oct 27, 2008 7:38 pm

Thay are just lovely!The price would work too Smile

I was thinking about this pair http://victoriantradingco.com/store/catalogimages/2b/i7981.html now I dont know what shoes to buy, have to look on line I think, for some place that sells wide shoes that look good.

Cheers Smile
