Teh is teh....I'm a bit weird :P

I don't really know but I just felt like It was just sexier in olive as it felt more 'authentic'....as I said I'm a bit weird but otherwise the navy goes with everything (except me; too big now T_T)

Any sweat/humidity magnifies the wrinkles you get in pure linen as well.
Out of interest, does anyone here wear 100% linens with a suit and tie to work on a regular basis?

I was planning to wear these nice Irish linen LS Landsend shirts I grabbed including two in plaids which don't seem to wrinkle too much. The Boss/SWSBO immediately KO'ed the idea so it will take the appropriate spousal defiance for it to actually happen.

By the way, if Elvish is interested in replacing his coin pouch or if any other Australian SF members wish to emulate TBM at a reasonable price, I noticed that Peter's of Kensington were advertising coin pouches in an ad in the Weekend Australian.

A quick look at their website reveals the following:

Laurige black, pebble-grain coin pouch for $24 (was $48)

Laurige brown, pebble-grain coin pouch for $24 (was $48)

I'm seriously tempted to get one, although I don't know how much Peter's charges for delivery.

I deposit my jar 2 times a year, usually comes out around 80-100 dollars. Not the be all and end all, but solid cash none the less.

My coins go into the Myki machine at the end of each day, so I don't have a big stash. Except for 5 cent coins - what are they good for?

I have two jars one for shrapnel and one for brass, when the brass hits $50 its cashed and joins my clothing or other indulgence slush fund.

Orange woven paisley acquired.

For anyone in the legal fraternity - I need some knick knacks for my xmas list. I was wondering what sort of executive pens you'd recommend for regular use? anything else useful for placement?

Anyhow I have a pen obsession too lol

thanks for the thought but tbh, i can only ever carry them in a jacket as my dress pants are too tight so i cant justify it. i'd rather just use my coin jar that sits in the office.
