The Marcus Diaries: Part II

Hello again! Sorry about the long silence! I have been a bit busy with wedding preparations, the garden (unexpectedly gone mad with all the sun and due to many visitors required urgent taming in manner of lady who has not gone to hairdresser for a year , had an unsuccessful run-in with a home-highlighting kit and has to meet the in laws in 2hrs time), the new job and our new obsession with dashing outside, wrestling with the shed, extracting and and then attaching accessories onto our bikes.

So anyway, before I vanished I promised you pictures of the Dylon Days. My first ever Marcus And The Dylon photo is below! I used to take them at work. I sat kind of diagonally behind Marcus and he never much seemed to mind posing really. Pictured are the original and infamous trousers - with slightly prominant zip, which probably contributed to aforementioned Fade. There are a few interesting things about this outfit:

1. The shirt has been dyed, as well as the trousers. 100% of this outfit has been customised by Marcus.
2. The shirt was originally light blue with lighter blue/pinky stripes (I quite liked it). The Dylon has taken differently to the different stripes, adding a certain depth to the shirt.
3. Despite using different colour dyes, it seems to me that there is something about the two colours, possibly the intensity, which makes them look very similar.
4. Shirt has evidently been sewn with non-cotton stitching to which the dye has not been attracted at all. This lends it a dangerous line-dancing style je ne sais quoi.

There is more where this came from - but enough for now, plenty to be getting on with! See you soon!
