The chains really were that big - and Brunel was diddy.
There was a storage yard near the old Naval shipyard in Walker (between Wallsend and Newcastle) where redundant anchors and chains were kept; F me, some of them were absolutely huge.
Have a look at the archive film of the Esso Northumbria being launched at Swan Hunters in early 1970's to see the amount and size of chains used to stop it from hamnering into the opposite river bank.
You’ll be wanting Lock & co St James’s st or Bates on Jermyn st.
Then pop round to John Lobb for bespoke shoes...
Brocklehursts in Bakewell might be able to help you out. They seem to be outfitters to the country gent.
Anywhere that sells Failsworth caps.
The Harris Tweed one's are particularly nice, there's a shop in Hawes on the main street with a cracking selection.
I think only Jacob Rees Mogg could get away with wearing one of those in 2022, and that’s just because he’s a
real life panto villain.****
FTFY
but clearing one’s gutters up a ladder wearing a sombrero would make you look
like you're a Mexican doing house maintenance.
Yes yes ok, but clearing one’s gutters up a ladder wearing a sombrero would make you look a very strange person indeed.

TBH I was looking for a hat as I’d finally killed my Barmah foldable bush hat and thought I’d go Spanish ‘native’ but not really found anything that didn’t give off the man from delmonte look or Zorro.
Looks like it’ll be back to getting another Aussie one.
Tilley Hat ??
Bandana... is all you need 🙂
The Robin Hood look ?.
Bandana… is all you need
Not if one is a gentleman. Jeepers!
Tj earlier, plotting revenge on insolent posters.
I'd quite like one of those Tricorn hats that Poldark off of the telly wears. Not sure my missis would be seen dead anywhere I was while wearing it mind. I look quite a lot like him too. 
That has just reminded me I had a Fez that my mother brought me back from Morocco. I’d wear it more around the house, but I don’t want to keep putting on the valves smoking jacket.
Failsworth are indeed the doggies danglers!
Viking helmet is probably the best 3 season hat
They're a bit warm in summer though
willard - Lock & Co will make you a bespoke fez and you could get monogrammed carpet slippers from John Lobb.
Pair them with your velvet smoking jacket; get a monocle and a cigarette holder.
Et Voila!
