Here are a couple more:

After swearing to the baby Jesus that I would not buy anything more this year since I have more clothes than two men can wear, this week I bought a taupe coloured French cuff shirt -- because I didn't own a taupe French cuffed shirt -- and a pair of jeans. No pics, my sister has my digital camera. Oh, and a bunch of Moleskine notebooks if that counts... I need an intervention.

What do you do and how can I get into it?

+1. And that's just from one month!

Me too brother!!!! In the past two weeks I've ordered:

1 MTM suit
1 MTM sport coat
2 MTM trousers
5 MTM dress shirts
1 pair of Rider boots



Edit: oh and 2 pairs of cufflinks.

NICE- hehe- what about the Alfa? Or is that not new?

+1! I'm definitely in the wrong line of work.

- Senior Executive for a Professional Services company that specialises in strategy for the worlds top 10 ITC vendors. I look after our 3rd largest account for Asia Pacific.

- like I said, I haven't shopped for clothes for a while - also I am very black & white, so when I change I do it properly..
- correction, I consume watches not collect! last one was the Panerai 233J

- I bought the Alfa for my 38th last year..
- this year I bought the Panerai 233J

And me!

But it is never too late!

i wonder why you did not buy any scent? (<- new smiley!)

(no offense, you can stand it...)

this reads like a big yoox shopping trip...true?

Just a few hours ago these velvet friends arrived from Adrian Herring. It's good to be the king http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGAgu6zI9v0
