Worrying find in husband's drawer?

Was sorting out my DH t-shirt draw and came to a Asos wrapped red and navy breton top, it was a few days before Valentine's day so I kind of assumed it was a present for me and said nothing. Anyway 14 Feb came and went and no Asos top was forthcoming, so I asked him and he said it was for him. Is this weird? 1. Men uses Asos? and 2. A man in a Breton top?

What are your suspicions exactly? Is he cross dressing?

BarbaraBar · 03/03/2011 17:59

Has he worn it?

glitterkitty · 03/03/2011 18:02

shagging fuckwit?

bogle · 03/03/2011 18:03

No, not cross dressing, I suppose I did think it was a bit effeminate though. In the end he sent it back as he wanted the red and white one and they twice sent the red and blue. Don't you think a man in a Breton is a bit wossy? It's not as though we live in Hoxton .

I don't think they're especially effeminate - they're pretty fashionable.

Here, I mean

GetOrfMoiLand · 03/03/2011 18:31

Has he got a new job selling onions?

tulpe · 03/03/2011 18:32

All of those breton shirts are lovely with the exception of the scoop neck one (WTF???!!)

I wouldn't have a problem with DH wearing any of those and we don't live in Hoxton either :o

phooey · 03/03/2011 18:35

On the plus side, you can borrow it Smile

noddyholder · 03/03/2011 18:36

My dp wears though and we don't live in hoxton either!

meditrina · 03/03/2011 18:38

Maybe he got it for his secret mistress, and had to abandon the plan once he knew you'd seen it as you might recognise it on her (especially if she's your BF).

CrazyHorse · 03/03/2011 18:39

Well, I can't speak for your DH, but I would be seriously worried if this were mine. But then he doesn't by his own clothes, unless it's a suit.

DonaAna · 03/03/2011 18:39

OP, your DH has just found his inner J-P Gaultier (J-P would have no prob with the scoop neck).

laosvher · 03/03/2011 18:44

Awww I thought it'd be something like a sex toy

1- yes, men use ASOS,2- sure, men in breton tops
does Jonathan Woss wear breton tops? idk, can see Jamie Oliver in one though

MrsGuyOfGisbourne · 03/03/2011 18:53

lol @ Hoxton!
Didn't even realise ASOS had mens' stuff even tho' the website is almost permanently open in a window on my PC whilst I am mumsnetting working.
If DH bought one, I would have an episode of wild hilarity, followed bu a suggestion that we play a game of 'Jacques' the Breton fishermen who has been away sprat fishing at sea for a month, coming home to 'Fifi', who works in the tabac and wears a garter... honi-honi-hon...Grin

hoxtonchick · 03/03/2011 19:28

what's wrong with hoxton?!

bogle · 03/03/2011 19:52

Nothings wrong with Hoxton! Was the uber fashionable place when I lived in than there Lunnon, now we're in the sticks I was making a comparison. Do love MrsGuyof Gisbourne suggestion, pity it's gone back... And i really didn't know that Asos was for men, think secret mistress is slightly far fetched ... but you never know ... but on the other hand it was in a man size (maybe it's a secret man mistress?)

My DH had one left over from the eighties. He has passed it on to DS1 who, although he looks good in it, has decided it is 'too girl'.

womma · 03/03/2011 20:41

Oh my lord. I think your DH may be secretly.....a bit trendy!

upahill · 03/03/2011 21:10

Shouldn't this be on the relationship thread Confused Grin

blinks · 03/03/2011 21:13

3/4 length sleeves on a man are unnatural

midnightowl · 03/03/2011 22:52

Gok Wan was wearing one earlier in the week when he was on Loose Women. I thought he looked cute in it. Maybe your DH has been having fashion advice. :)
