So ASOS knows me exactly.
They sent me an advert on Facebook and it was for a high shine suit. I had to buy! It’s arriving this week.
The only worry I have is that it says in the reviews “runs small” and “no stretch on the fabric” on the sizing and even though I’m now a 36″ waist it’s a close thing. I’m not a belted 36 (which is my eventual aim).
It might not fit me now, but soon?
As you well know I have a huge penchant for shiny formal wear!
I’ve not worn my leather suit in ages, possibly more than a month.
I had a load of certificates to find on my servers so I was going to be an hour or more – I’d just been for a really long bike ride so I was sweaty as hell too. So I had a quick shower (yes, we have showers at the new units) and I got dressed up in my leather suit.
Yeah I needed it.
I know I’m a narcissistic sod when I’m in leather, but I just feel so confident in my body at the moment. The cycling is really paying off and my shape is changing so much.
I’m sad to report, though, that my weight has pretty much leveled off but the smart scales are showing how the fat level is dropping and the muscle mass is increasing. I was 31% fat and I’m now down at 23% which is a fantastic result.
I see nothing wrong with a leather suit… Indeed I’ve owned one now for a lot of years. This is my latest – the waistcoat and trousers are from Higgs Leather (specially selected leather, not the cheaper option).
Although it’s an absolutely terrible film, this guy was the one who made me realise that three piece suits could be leather.
I saw him in it when he was in the audience at a celebrity comedy event – the host commented on it and he said it was costume from “Spice World – The Movie”.
Of course I admired him in it very much and decided that I would own such an item.
Well it took me a few years, but eventually I did “the look”.
I’m not quite sure who suits it better though?
I know you’re not used to seeing me dressed up to the nines like that, but it does happen from time to time.
So everyone’s taking to Twitter to complain about it. Not me. I don’t really like Facebook. I’m rather pleased.
I suspect there are families up and down the country talking about things over dinner rather than having their faces lit up by phone screens.
I did manage to post my outfit of the day photo before it baulked though. I say outfit of the day… It was actually yesterday.

Shirt : Marks & Spencer

I felt like wearing my leather suit today. I don’t know why, I just did.
With all the excitement about the PVC suit, I seem to have forgotten my roots.
Today I went back to them.
Friday and Saturday was a double gigger. It’s a while since we’ve done one of those.
Friday was a private function in Hessle… A wedding.
Saturday was a typical club gig, although this club was rather good. A nice easy load, great staff, nice and clean, and a half decent chippy across the road.
It even had a church next door judging by the half deflated balloon found in a puddle.
