Damn, I wanted to be Batman.

A much better candidate.

Well, if there ever were a time for introductions it would be now!

I saw a fair few of you lot down at the launch.

I'm Nathan, as seen in the shots just after Christian's.

 

I really want a human finger boutonniere.

The neck tattoo and seersucker combo; a classic "old money" look:

Nice pics get!


Or the look at me wrong and ill cut your throat look hehehe

Yeah nice pics Gezza!

New Grenadine in action today....

Rob, thanks, man. I quite like the combination of the tatts and the refined look. I find the contrast very interesting to look at.

 

Jas, thanks for the kind words and you're looking well put together as usual. I'm expecting the Henry Carter trunk show to be a great night as well! That chocolate grenadine tie is beautiful.

 

Today's outfit:

 

 

 

 

I came in early this morning and it was cold, hence the cardigan. The beauty of thin layers is that you can always remove one as the weather heats up. The tie is the blue donegal reissue from Vanda. I'm really looking forward to the cooler weather to come.

What's wrong with textured odd trou and open quarters? I'll tell ya: nuttin! Although where is your pocket square young man--a splash of colour and a smooth texture in that pocket would have been a great happy ending.

Cross-post:

Tie is the Vanda shantung navy with double bar red stripes... finding it very versatile indeed...

Agree with your choice, pale blue shirt and dk brown suit will look good. A white + blue edge or plain white PS could take it from day to night if you're still worried about that.

Drink a glass bottle of red for me ;-)

 

I once ordered a pair of driving shoes from Mr Porter and got the sizing wrong (it was really my fault). So I wrote in to them, asked them about the procedure for exchange in my case (sale item + my oversight) and if an exchange was possible, whether I should size down a full size.

 

Their response was this: Sounds like it would be better if we discussed your sizing issue over the phone. Please leave a contact number we can reach you at, and a time that is convenient for you (we know that there's a significant time difference between us). We will be happy to offer an exchange, at no charge, of course.

 

 

One of the better exports from my motherland. A long way to go before making up for those landmines.

You're making a great case for me to come and spend some money!

You guys seen the new suit supply outer wear? Light weight jackets for their spring but i reckon would be perfect for here

the only thing is they are expensive vs what it is!! $469 for a field coat:(

^^ The "Sydney" summer coat is probably the best value there, but I tend to find Zara (*gasp*) is pretty good for those type of jackets, and at more reasonable prices; quality is not too bad.

Also, the practicality of these types of coats is limited. They look the part (and that is important) but being so short you wouldn't want to be caught in anything worse than a light shower (especially if you're wearing suede CK-style loafers without socks and white chinos). In which case, I think you can reasonably get by with a regular sportscoat and a good umbrella, and a trench coat or raincoat for when it's really feral.

I guess what I'm saying is you're buying into the look more than buying an overly practical garment, not that there's anything wrong with that. I'd rather one of those than a Barbour (never really understood the mania they inspire in some ppl but maybe someone can explain it to me).
