Michael Portillo Railway Journeys - his jackets?

[jinkster]

Does anyone know the make or tailor of his jackets featured in the series. They seem to be a blue or yellow linen.

Thanks.

[RedWhiteMonkey]

Do you actually want to dress like this?

I can only assume you want to know so you can avoid going there

The MiL and I both love this programme but have come to the assumption that he's either colour blind or lives alone so has nobody to say "you're not seriously going out dressed like that".

[jinkster]

He wore a blue striped jacket on the Turin to Venice episode which was fantastic!

Why not email him directly and ask him: michael_AT_michaelportillo_DOT_co_DOT_uk

He'll reply

[jinkster]

Email sent - thanks

[Kinky]

I look forward to reading his reply

[jinkster]

Agreed. I particularly like the fact that he's an excellent listener: gives people the chance to say their piece, while he looks interested, and doesn't interrupt.

[TimJMS]

Agreed. A proper gent.

Possibly Gurteen for the pink linen one

[Eric Mc]

One of my favourite programmes.

Tell me honestly - can you see any other TV channel commissioning such a programme - especially a satellite or cable chanenl?

[Bill Carr]

He certainly has a flamboyant sense of dress.

[eastlmark]

is great presenter of this programme....shame about his previous though.

[GTIR]

You should see the horse racing fraternity. They all dress like that!

Love the far the picked out the cheap plonk.... and is now unashamedly parading about in an Edwardian bathing costume.

Do you need to rephrase any of that?
