Thursday's Threads: French Fries Edition

 

Eros and I had some fun this week with outfit day. We went with a french fry theme because french fries are delicious. Here's what he had on:

You can't really see any of it from this distance. But don't worry. We have close ups.

Bridle: Joseph Sterling
Browband: Homemade

French fry browband! So cute!

Saddle: Butet
Saddle Pad: Ogilvy, embellished by me
Half Pad: Mattes

French Fry ribbon trim! Isn't this a cute print? Also, don't you wish you could eat french fries every day? Why are they so delicious?

Polos: Centaur, embellished by me

Aren't these fry patches adorable? I wasn't sure if they would stay on the interchangeable wraps. And I was right to be uncertain. One did and one did not. And I haven't yet found the one that did not. But, they're still really cute. I just need to make sure I stick the velcro better next time. 

That's what Eros wore for french fry day, and here's what I had on:

You had to know I had a french fry sweater, right? How could I NOT have one?

Helmet: One K Avance CCS with MIPS

I suspect this navy helmet is nearing expiration if it hasn't already passed that date. I wanted to get a closeout navy Samshield to replace it, but I missed the chance on that. Perhaps another will pop up someplace. 

Sweater: Asos

I love having a french fry sweater. My only small complaint with this one is the pink trim. Why would they do that with a red fry box? I was planning to wear red breeches because I forgot about that pink trim, so I had to pivot to navy instead. 

Belt: Homemade by me

I had a hard time finding the perfect fry fabric and/or ribbon for the belt. But I like this one. This is still my first prototype for the interchangeable belt. I want to make something a little nicer, maybe leather lined. Same for the brow band. They're both a work in progress. 

Breeches: Tailored Sportsman

Guys, I'm still worked up about my preferred fabric being discontinued by TS. And I'm even more annoyed that they never actually got cheap on closeout so I could stock up. Rude.

Boots: Celeris UK

This photo is darker than I realized, sorry about that! These are my navy boots with silver trim at the top. They were demo boots, but pretty much exactly my measurements. Can't beat that! Quality, nearly custom boots without the wait and discounted! Total win.

That's it for today! Are you fry lover? What's your favorite potato? I don't have a favorite, I love all potatoes equally. Never met one I didn't like.
