Thankfully, no problems thus far, and I've had it for the past 14 years. It's actually a Japanese import that was brought in by a friend of mine who bought in when she was working in Japan and privately imported it when she came back to Australia.

As a consequence, it differs a bit from the Australian versions, as it has leather seats, headrest speakers, front driving lights, and a higher redline (which also means that I have to feed it premium unleaded).

CEP, a few years back I used to do exactly that, and I would usually wear the shirt with a plain navy cashmere tie.

However, over the past few years I've either become more daring (or more tasteless) and I've started to combine patterns more. I think that, even though the printed tie has a reasonably busy pattern, because of the small scale of the pattern and the complementary colours, it works well with the striped shirt.

coldeyedpugilist, can't say im too knowledgeable with the units, never took part in any of that BMT. straight up admin from the get-go. singapores been fun in some ways, not so in others but thats how things are i guess.

i've not really explored this whole place apart from the 'yohji' thread and a coule pages of the the waywt thread but someone enlighten me on the general audience of the styleforum, if this isnt the wrong place to ask.

Hi Michael,

Sadly the $39.95 sale prices have ended but there are still quite a few old season stock on there for $59.95 and you can get an extra 10% off with the Styleforum discount code SF10 if that helps at all.

Cheers

They're looking good, Romp.

I particularly like the last colour. I'm seeing a stripe polo, chino shorts, those driving loafers, sun and riesling. Lots of riesling. I can only see riesling now.

yeah the "bordeaux" is my fave too.

 

Goes well with jeans, chinos or shorts

 

@fxh .. sockless ...

Sorry to hijack this thread but is anyone here into SW&D or just MC?

xCrunchx, I'm into SW&D also - I think many guys here are, just to varying degrees.

+1

I'm all about SW&D on the weekends.

Romp, have you had much stretching in the drivers so far? My tods have gone out a full size now.

Separate note - anyone have sizing experience with Swims? http://swims.com/

No idea on the SWIMS, but I am watching this thread (well, I'm watching it anyway!) to find out. Headed over to merry old London town then up into inverness for Xmas, so sizing/quality advice on their overshoes would be brilliant.

 

I'm not going to be hunting the lochness in oxfords, but yaknow ....

 

I went to school in Singapore and lived there for a total of 11 years (7 in one stint and 4 in another) so I know it fairly well. Knowing what I know now, I'd check out Vanda Fine Clothing for ties and accessories and Ed Et Al for some nice shoes. Interesting satorial stuff coming out of Singapore right now.

 

Uniqlo and Muji would be other stops as well apart from the carrot cake and oyster omelette in Marine Parade and chicken rice and bak kut teh in Balestier Rd 

Don't P. Johnson stock the loafer version of Swims?

Personally speaking, they don't appeal to me - they strike me as looking rather like upmarket Crocs.

Wish I could get to the MJ Bale Laneway Event - looks like there are some good bargains to be found. I like how they are calling what are essentially unsold clothes from past seasons "vintage stock". At least they know their market haha.
