goodwood revival

[baz-r]

i have got me and the wife tickets to revival this year and been out shopping for my outfit
got myself a bargin genuine 1960s blue suit with waistcoat that fits real well (shade lighter than navy). as im a little young to know my 60s fashion :rolleyes: could anyone help with what 60 shirt cuts and colour/pattern woud be of the right era?

Sorry I can't help with 60s fashion but I just wanted to say how jealous I am:D . I know you will enjoy every moment at Goodwood, we've been to the festival of speed for the last three years and love every moment. It really is a truly spectacular place.

Anything with flowers on will fit the bill for 1960s.

I was kinda thinking, frilly cuff & collar .....Et " Austin Powers "

Groovy baby :D :D

Seriously, a watch of " Austin Powers, International Man Of Mystery " might give you some inspiration :)

im almost all sorted with my outfit now i have found a genuine period cream with blue stripe shirt and blue silk cravat to go with the suit and amazingly the shirt is a match to the waistcoat lining

well i had a great time and lucky i paid for some grandstand seats as we watched the rac tt race (60's gt's) in the dry of the grandstand as the heavens opened half way through on the db4's, 250gto's and cobra's
real nice to see 200 mil £ of vintage racing cars giving it some in the wet and dry with a pit driver change.
also the barry shene memoral cup of 300-500cc bikes was good with a le mans start and rider swap tho a bit damp (matchless,nortons and mv's)
i was suprised on the amount of people in period dress must have been at least 85-90% and more ladys than the avrage motor racing meet
it is a bit expensive but i didnt feel i had been ripped off at all the attention to detail was exeptional :D just wish i could spend all weekend there

oh and seeing 11 spitfires in formation with take offs and landings for the 75th birthday was exeptional
