Grizzy put it better than I could have done. Imagine the modern is a world without electricity, everything powered by steam or clockwork. Sort of neo Victorian. There is a genre of books but Jules Verne is Steampunks Elvis.

Though not an XMTS advertiser, Kilt This is somewhat steampunk inspired.

All that, is a bit far out for this rather basic thinker, I am afraid!

I just like the Victorian gentlemans style, plus I've read all Dickens and Vernes work. I'm not a hard core steampunk fan, I Just think Iit would be nice to somehow combine the two styles, but probably not very practical so I just wondered if anyone else had done it.

I didn't wear it all the time. Spain is too hot. Mostly here its shorts and t shirt. Boring really. However the time before last when I went home in the winter, it was all I had suitable for the weather.
