my husband has brought a beige casual jacket.

[bananaandcustard]

which officially means he is dressing like an old man.

AIBU?

God I am lucky my do is 55 and still looks cool!

I have a paint stirrer. I am 45.

I will never be beige.

They all need to visit this

Annie Sloane Hearing Aid Beige. Worn by people who cross the road diagonally to shave 3 inches off their journey. And drive a blue mobility 3 wheeler. And wear huge airtex white pants with gussets.

Is it a jacket like a blazer or a blouson style jacket, with an elasticated waist?

Some men look quite hot in beige jackets. With a uber cool t shirt and jeans, sunglasses and stubble and deck shoes with NO SOCKS:)

On a yacht though, possibly, to carry it off. Or a club in Marbella.

If it makes you feel any better....
I'm married to a MAMIL.
He promised me when he started cycling to work that no Lycra would be involved.
The winter evenings drew in and his knees got cold, so he bought a pair of....
Cycling tights.
I have no problem oogling his bum in them (and it's quite toned from all the cycling) but the thought of lots of other people? The tights don't leave much to the imagination.

He also owns a flat cap - bought in the 90's when they were fashionable - that I wont let him wear and a pair of beige slip on shoes that he calls his summer holiday shoes. I am trying to get him to invest in a pair of trainer socks as they look terrible with white ankle socks.
He has a shed.
And slippers.

engineersthumb The odds are indeed good!
Engineers are too boring and predictable to ever cheat on you and earn a steady and respectable wage.

Ha, you lot think you've got problems! I had to have a serious conversation about not wearing a beige jacket, especially not with beige trousers, yesterday with my ten year old son idiot exmil and her stupid tesco clothes buying obsession

my DH has a pair of slippers very like that photo!

how could I of not recognised the signs?!!

You need to reignite your sex life with a gimp mask and some whips.

Only once you've encouraged him into a night of mad pash will you be able to look at him seductively and declare :

"A man who fucks like that doesn't have a beige jacket".

It will be in the chazzer bag before you've picked the blackberry dental dam out your teeth.

Can you put it in the wash with something red, and 'accidentally' turn it surgical appliance pink?

Or I could email you a picture of FIL - the original Man in Beige - and you could use it to frighten him about what he's turning into.

LaurieFairyCake, thats the best suggestion so far!

I take the beige jacket a raise you a cagoule. And bright blue walking boots, every frigging day.

We live in the suburbs FFS. I long for the summer so he puts it away but then the Hawaiian shirts and shorts come out to play.

And, my MIL like Tweed perfume. Although I think they discontinued it in 1990...

Bad news, I'm afraid ...

banana I am also the owner of a 50 yr old DH. His wardrobe varies between wildly unsuitable/young and 'stuff my dad would wear'. The worst thing is that our youngest DS is only 4 and he does most of the school runs, so yes, gets called grandad by the staff fairly often.

I am not sure it matters about the colour of the jacket so long as he can still see his penis OP?

I feel your pain OP.
When I met DH he was the proud owner of a tweed jacket, aged 39. I made him put the jacket away until he was old enough to wear it. 15 years later, and he replaced it with a very nice M&S British tweed number, which he is allowed to wear, but only with jeans and brogues and a crisp open necked shirt

This is why I married a younger man.

I am not a fucking cougar before anyone says it

I once bought my husband an oatmeal jumper when we were in our 30s. A friend declared that I must hate him very much.

Get him a pair of these to match his jacket you might as well be one step ahead as there is no turning back

comfy trousers

Dh has a straw hat a fucking straw hat that he wears when he can feel his bald patch head burning he wore it on holiday ALL last week it was a bit sunny sigh

I grow old, I grow old.
I'll wear my trousers rolled.

What he needs is a pair of Chums Trousers.

(DH and I once got a catalogue for these through the door and spent hours making up infantile advertising slogans )

i felt quite sick looking at those trousers. .....I couldnt have 'intimate relations' with a man who wore a garment like that.
