- saturday: picking up a car at 9am, no idea where i'm going... don't want to drive for more than say 3-4 hours total that day, so margaret river is probably out of the question? is fremantle the best bet? no idea... where to have din din?

Can't help much but if you're in to coffee try Epic Espresso on Hay St. Perth is a bit of a coffee desert but Epic are great.

SMH - If the shoe fits buy it, no matter the cost

Well, no matter the cost is a bit of an exaggeration. But generally true. The findings mentioned in the article sounds about right to me too. I have workmates balking at purchasing shoes over $100 (honestly I used to be the same). Their reason being that they are worn on feet and be stepped on and take a beating and they don't expect any shoe to last long.

I must admit, I'm very much looking forward to meeting Jason (Charlie's Wardrobe) when I'm next in Canberra.

As odd as it comes across, I think my girlfriend will find this even creepier than you do, Jason.

In any case, well played today, business casual like a BOSS. *golf clap*

Also do you plan to do any other colours? The knot on that looks fantastic.

read that article on shoes.

the only shoes missing from my collection are desert boots and black brogues ):

How do these hold up?



Gerry Nelson said:

No point owning nice shoes and not wearing them so I've decided to rotate through every dress shoe I own - loafers and boots are to be considered as part of that for this. The aim of this exercise is to build a different outfit around each shoe that I have and wear every shoe only once and fortunately, I have just enough to do that

Today's outfit was inspired by Pink Socks' blog post from yesterday  :


Blazer: Polo
Shirt: Borelli
Tie: Kent Wang grenadine
PS: Kent Wang
Trousers: Pendleton flannel
Shoes" C&J Lowndes

Glad to hear you have taken up the challenge GN, look forward to seeing the full shoe wardrobe rotation. Think you should challenge a few of the other shoe czars to join you...

Navy, grey and suede - beautiful work. This is the post referred to - http://linenforsummertweedforwinter...579/variations-of-the-ethandesu-lnsee-uniform

Looks good Charlie's Wardrobe....I def. do not need more ties but grey cashmere is very tempting...

By the way have you thought about doing pocket squares (no idea what the cost/demand would be)...also how many orders would you need to make an Australian Members thread official tie of some sort (just an idea, maybe a stupid one)....

Cheers guys, agreed it is one nice tie and I will likely give it a flogging the next few months.

This one will be $99.95 all going well, and the colour should be close or very slightly darker to this, haven't decided yet. But I am going to try and get them here a bit earlier to have them for winter here (hopefully by July). Stocks will be limited though to only 16 per colourway.

That will be the only cashmere one but I am planning on doing a plain silk knit in a brown and also a navy w/ white dots too, which should both be in the $69.95 to $79.95 range.

Also should be doing a few shirts I hope, made in Italy too. More details on those later as it's very early days for that, they will be classic but high on details (MOP buttons, great semi spread collar etc.).

Have thought about pocket squares and maybe next season. Stay tuned.

Also thought about an Aussie members tie and can do it. I'd need a minimum of 10 ties for a classic construction or 7 fold and 16 for a knit tie, whether it be cashmere, silk or cotton. I could get something embroidered like SF Australian Member on the back blade or tipping to make it unique but not in your face. Anyway I will think about that and perhaps if there is enough interest choose some fabrics to put up for a vote. Maybe PM me though for anyone who is keen so I can keep track.

Cheers, Jason
