Red-trousered gentlemen prefer blondes

It's a bit posed, but what the hell - it's a good four-way. Note the two polo belts.

Family walk

Many thanks to Anton for this excellent shot, taken in Winchester a few weeks ago.

Doh!

"So there's this iPhone app - basically you tell it what you're wearing and then it warns you if your friends are wearing exactly the same thing. You should totally download it."

Shoreditch Ad-man

Interesting cross-over here. This type of red trouser seems to be more the hipster rather than toff variety (brighter, and not corduroy) but the pink shirt is decidely St. James.

But then again, the shirt is buttoned up high in a hipster sort of way.

As I say - interesting.

Elegant

Worse for wear

One does not simply wear red trousers and then fall asleep pissed on the train home.

The Zetland

This is a site-specific one. The Zetland is on the Old Brompton Road of course and, being much closer to the tube station than the next nearest pub, is often wandered into by the likes of Professor Blue Jumper and The Earl of Handkerchief here. But it's basically full of builders and passing trade. I bet they didn't stay long.

Old Brompton road again

Thank you to Ben, who persuaded (it seems without too much difficulty) this gang of Sloaney partygoers to pose for the camera. They look like part of a Dulux Farrow & Ball colour chart.

Old Caterhamian's Rugby

I'd be surprised if RTs weren't disproprortionately in evidence at school reunions. Perhaps some current Caterhamians (doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, does it?) could do one of those bollocks modern geography projects on the topic.

Father and son

With admirable paternal pride the head of the family graciously concedes defeat in the household's daily pudding-eating competition, for the 7593rd time in a row.

Thank you Nick for this one. Is this fancy dress of some kind? If not, it would be interesting to know what this bloke's ruddy game is, if anyone recognises him...

Architect Mike Davies

A few people have mentioned this guy. I didn't think it would be long before someone papped him. (Well done Alex).

This is of course way above and beyond plain old RTs, but I think he merits posting.

The Red Baron

This collar-shy smiler is some sort of German aristo I'm told.

Cambridge

Oxford has so far led the race in RT submissions. Nice to see Cambridge putting up a good fight.

In fact, we could make it into some sort of yearly competition - and all turn up and watch, wearing red trousers.

First day at work?

"What do you mean I have to go home and change? You said 'smart-casual' - you didn't say anything about not dressing like a complete bell-end."

Red trousers, Orange shoes

City of Bath again.

Is that an iPhone 5 in your pocket?

Elephant polo!

It's the question on everyone's lips: "We know that boring old normal polo is a red trousers kind of game, but what about elephant polo?" Thank you to Amy for finally providing an answer.

Polo

Taken at the recent Wales v Ireland polo match, this is a nice example of the toff/hipster RT crossover.

In the wine trade

Very nice guy, I'm told. Nice jacket too.

Skinny

A true fact

"The wealthiest 1% of the population owns 99% of the world's red trousers."

Thank you to madeupstats for this acute observation.

THANK YOU!

A very big THANK YOU to all the people who have sent pictures in over the last couple of months - much appreciated. Sorry for not having updated the blog for so long - I've been abroad, or in prison or something, I forget the details. Updates will hopefully now be at least weekly. Keep 'em coming!
