But what shall I wear?

The tunes are learned, the arrangements arranged, and now our band is ready for some gigs. Question is... what shall I wear?

We're going for a late-50s, early-60s european vibe, strictly more Fellini and Rene Thomas than QHCF, though gypsy jazz is our key inspiration. Problem is, since getting married and having a kid, I'm a bit more paunchy than your average existentialist. So who's looking cool? All advice and inspiration warmly received.

*sigh* if only Zoot, Cabbo, and Teddy Dupont posted here... they'd have a field day with this. Andy, post this question over at http://hotclub.co.uk/forum. Either you'll see fireworks, or I will be deeply disappointed in the British national character.

To be more helpful: wear clothes from Banana Republic. They seem to have the retro vibe you want, and they're going after your demographic, believe me.

Cheers,
Ando

Ando,

Have done as you suggested, and looking forward to comments, but as a south Londoner myself, I'm fairly certain they're going to rip the piss.

Cheers,
Andy
