Not being a "dedicated follower of fashion" the stuff in my wardrobe looks like it will fit right in -- I won't have to bother with dressing up.
Box I don't think it's essential to go period. The Poms sure make a thing of it, and I think it looks fantastic to see the old clobber to match the old planes trucks fire engines race suits, to say nothing of the CARS !!! Keep in mind you'll be travelling and to keep within the weight limits you're pretty much restricted in what you can take anyway. Warm stuff and wet weather gear are bulky enough.
The treasurer arrives home midnight tonight after leaving Rome lunch time yesterday. Should I jump in with the Goodwood proposal while she's still jet lagged? Nah probably not. A nice lunch and a few glasses of "sovblonk" in a day or two might have more chance of success.
