Thankyou very much, i think a vintage mechanics outfit will do just need to find vintage overalls now

[thegamekeeper]

white ones with wide brown belt and flat cap is a good place to start, and if you can get some patches sewn on even better. We are really looking forward to it as usual

Hi, I run www.vintagewhistles.co.uk and we specialize in vintage & classic menswear.We supply 100's of men with classic Goodwood Revival outfit each year. Currently we have over 150 Harris Tweed jackets available as well as tweed hats, caps & accessories. I will also be adding more tweed suits, breeks etc next week.
We also have a large range of vintage suits, so plenty of clothing for Goodwood.
We are a listed Goodwood Revival supplier on the Goodwood website.
Sorry I usualy say hi, but cant find your hello thread.
We have had a large selection of classic vintage cars, just sold our VW campervan which is pictured on the website and bought a 1946 MG Roadster.
We have had everything from classic fords, mini's, VW campervan and now the MG.... im sure it wont be the last I currently drive a white MX5, love it! Im new to the forum but hubby's never off it....

For the last two years I've got my outfits from http://www.sabresales.co.uk/ in Southsea - they rent or sell amazing military outfits and aren't very expensive at all.

Here was me last year... http://www.flickr.com/photos/cloudzilla/3936821337...

Nice outfit..... but what's it got to do with racing at Goodwood? Getting more like a fancy dress competition than a period recreation!!

i think a millitary outfit is going to be the best bet, thanks again guys!

Maybe you could email Lord March and ask him ? He always has a few people dressed up as soldiers working at the Revival. He also had the Drivers Club decked out as a soldiers barracks when I was last in there. He also has the Spitfires etc up during the lunch break.

Cloudzillas outfit seems to fit in perfectly

I'll go in my Tarzan outfit then......

Sorry Civicman, you're right - everyone there should dress up as a mechanic or driver, that'd be um, awesome.

Here are the informal guidelines.... http://www.goodwood.co.uk/revival/revivalfashion/o...

My criteria for choosing an outfit is "what would get me stopped by loads of ladies wanting their photograph taken with me" (-:

Hippycake - I won't be going for the first time in years - but I hope you have a great time and post photos of your outfit!

I always go with the tweed look personally, this year my outfit will consist of the following for the three days -

Tweed jacket
Mustard chinos
Smart shirt (pale pink/white/plaid)
Cravat
Braces
Brown shoes

So pretty much what I wear to work then really

we are going with the 60's era this year as it also represents our cars so mini skirts / dresses with boots etc for the girlies and as for us we havnt got a clue at the moment, although I have just got hold of a blue teddy boy suit so need to find some brothel creepers or winkle pickers and jobs a good un..
charity shops are fantastic hunting grounds for this type of clothing.....

I have a brand new white button front boiler suit that will be for sale if you are interested.

I will be going on the Saturday, but have only just got the ticket so have had no time to plan a decent outfit. Was a mod last year and a Rocker the year before (imagine doing that in 64!).
Currently I have long hair (usually in a ponytail) and a rough beard. I don't have a clue what to go as. I can shave the beard (moustache etc.) but nothing doing with the hair.

Any ideas? I don't think a Hippie is really appropriate.

I'll be going in my 1963 Cooper, really need a Blue set of overalls and a snazzy pale blue open face helemet with wire mesh visor, If not just some 60's get up
