I'm going to this party in September, don't ask me how or why, and it turns out that it has a 1940s theme. So I've decided I'll go as either George Orwell or Alan Turing; probably Turing, because I'm not sure I can be bothered to grow the moustache.
So I need the clothes of a scruffy boffin. Currently scouring the second-hand clothes shops of south Manchester for a tweed jacket (leather elbow patches a bonus) and / or a sleeveless woollen pullover.
I think I can manage the Brylcreem, Oxford bags and brogues. Accessorise with a slide rule and a printed copy of Turing's paper on the Entscheidungsproblem to complete the look.
