The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Intentions, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

workingclassdandy: aboyinthebox: I could be this guy in about 30 years  Some bloggers have warned against this combination. I am not one of those bloggers. I am in favor of more trad looks than the 60’s Ivy that everyone finds so hot right now. I say go out and see what works for you. Push the boundaries. You never know how bad-ass you might look…

amoderndandy: rebelswithoutpause: On the street with…Hats & Suspenders I love these trousers - well… what I can see of them! Maybe you don’t need to go and follow mini-dandy - I feel my reblogging finger twitch for every post anyway - but just in case I should manage to reign myself in, go and follow this utterly amazing tumblr!
