Events such as this in Australia are known to be very casual in a dress sense. So I didn't quite expect the things I saw. Lets just say the average show attendee was better dressed than a La Terraza diner on an informal night. Many gentlemen wore jackets. Most women were in long dresses. There were more women wearing stilettos than Tevas. Sandals were quite rare. Though as it is in La Terraza the white tennis shoe was the most popular footwear. As for the men many wore ties,even a few bow ties. But the prize went to the fellow in a dark suit,tie,bowler hat and red spats. I actually saw 3 men with spats and only 2 in shorts. But I wasn't allowed to get this shirt. Passed a tailor on the way backn to the apartment and thought this would look god on the Muse. Rojaan said don't be stupid hat's a morning jacket. I said but the Aussies and Americans wouldn't know that. I guess the vests aren't going to be allowed. Isn’t that a waistcoat? Pronounced Weskit? Whatever its called, its quite splendid! Love the wide lapels on the morning jacket. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted May 26, 2023 #17177 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I'm British and pronounce it waistcoat, but some may say weskit I suppose. You won't see very many like this around, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we nearly made it home with out a problem but stumbled at the last hurdle. Our limo driver of 30 years retired while we were away. He had passed it on to the company he was working for. He had confirmed that the company had the booking and some one would be there to meet us. They weren’t. Rang them and got a message saying this service is unavailable please email us. So rang our old driver who rang the owner and they had the date wrong. Arranged for someone from Brisbane to take us home. Now looking for a new limo company. But the good news is that we board the Muse in 19 weeks. Only a short cruise of 44 days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great to meet you both on the Moon, maybe we’ll share a ship and trivia again sometime. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
