I thought I had read last year his shirt like that was specially made, but he must have meant fitting-wise.

In my non-petrol-head time, I'm also a keen seamstress and connoisseur of fabric. I tend to remember print patterns and colorways.

I think he selects lots of Liberty fabrics, and has them custom made, sometimes in the same pattern but a different colour. (Gosh we're sad!!)

This is a new story about an old event, James' brief career as a clothing designer. The video made me laugh, so I think it's worth seeing again. www.refinery29.com/james-may

Hitting new heights, I think? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, a man younger than me is not allowed to look like my Dad! It's against the rules.

I think that shirt and hat look cool. To think Nelson Mandela gave him a shirt, what an honor and I'm sure James realizes that.It looks good on him.

That's why he wore it in at Top Gear Live SA, as his tribute to Mandela, being so ill at the time. Let's just say James can carry the look off well!

Avi is rather good, best pic for ages & just a scruffy tshirt too - think he looks best when just being himself. Mandela shirt isn't his best, though I don't mind it.

Is this the place for the blue velvet jacket?

He looks super in those photos. James can do smart-casual very, very well. That blue velvet jacket is one of the best things he owns, I think, and I really like this iteration of blue-flowery-shirt.

A Mr.Alex Bilmes at the The Guardian doesn't appreciate James sense of style Is there anything I definitely shouldn't wear?If James May would wear it, don't. Photograph: Rex Features
"The simplest of simple rules: if James May might consider wearing it, you never should. It may seem cruel to single out one man in particular for opprobrium, and May, the blokeish, shaggy-haired Top Gear co-presenter, is possibly not the worst-dressed man in Britain. (Laurence Llewelyn Bowen? Louie Spence? Ed Sheeran?) But he's close. May breaks every rule of elegant dressing. His outfits are so ghastly they bring on a sort of synaesthesia: I can hear his wardrobe: the jangling, floral-print shirts, the screeching leather blazers (Mr Byrite, autumn/winter collection 1978), the clanging boot-cut jeans. The fact that he is representative of a certain type of middle-aged British male – the classic-rock-listening, high-performance-car-driving, tin-soldier-collecting saloon-bar bore – only makes not following his lead all the more essential." www.theguardian.com/fashion/2014/apr/11/what-every-man-should-know-about-fashion-2014
