Some of Patrick's suits were made by Pierre Cardin, but I don't remember if he created some during the fifth season, I think so.

The DVLA is no good either - the car is still registered, but the record was transferred in 1991.

That looks like the suit he wore in half of Season Four - it turns up again several times in the 67-8 season.

I think I remember reading about Macnee's suits, and many of them
were his...as the show did not have a huge budget for clothes,
and he also got some freebie suits, etc by wearing them in
the misc episodes...etc etc

yeah...and besides those hokey sideburns, he hasn't yet begun to
color his hair, while putting on a few pounds..as he did towards the end of the series run....

There's something about the brown suede shoes that just seems less the classy. It must be a generation thing.

I can't tell from the photo if there are any of those matching suede patches on the back of Pat's collar. The whole look of the outfit gives an impression of late B&W Steed, but it could be early colour Steed, although I can't find a specific episode where he looks like this.

I remember buying suede shoes in the 60's because Steed had them - I did have to return them though as they were thought to be 'racy' for want of a better word. I also had a faux-'Crombie with a suede collar in which I felt very John Steed

The calendar is on sale on eBay now, with some larger images then the ones posted previously in this topic.

The photograph in the middle is my favourite.

I have my 2010 Calendar up on the wall above several other Avengers posters and artworks. Looking off camera and a little pensive, the three other stars accompanying Steed on the cover go very well together. I don't hang on to much stuff but it is another interesting Avengers calendar I'm bound to keep.

I've bought every calendar since they started in 1998. I was a bit slow getting round to the 2010 one and it appears to have sold out everywhere! I guess I'll have to keep checking ebay. If anyone knows where you can still get this I'd love to hear. I do have a spare copy of the first one (1998) and the 2007 one both in mint condition if anyone wants to do a swap for the 2010 one. Rich.
