I love my old Scotland rugby top, but there's no denying that this shirt was designed to be worn with a certain amount of late 1970s chest hair and maybe some sideburns, and that's just not a look I'm capable of pulling off

#Experimenting with collar folding at the moment #If I can get the collar to look something more like a 17th century sark we might be ok but it's not working #Technically the shirt just about fits me even though it was made for men #But the collar is letting the side down #I can't wear it naturally I'm not quite tall and muscly enough and I look like I'm drowning #And not only is my neck too short to turn the collar up (I look like Mr Micawber in his starch)#I'm not sure that poshboy Oxbridge/St Andrews polo playing minor royal is a look I can or want to pull off #Anyway shout out to the Scottish rugby team in the late 70s/early 80s #Wearing those little short shorts and fully open shirt collar complete with chest hair sideburns and moustaches #It's a cold country but they committed to the Look (even if it was a bit of a travesty)
