It should get to you, eventually. I just got my mail from a UK distributor yesterday and I ordered my item(s) around Early-Mid December. They did say that there has been some delay due to bad weather conditions

Someone brought up that Ben Sherman shirts weren't as popular with Mods and that they preferred American Made Shirts. What American brands if I may ask? I think I heard somewhere that Van Heusen was one.

I mentioned that, which was a reference to a quote from the John Stephen biography. A mod from that period was quote saying that they preferred American shirts to Ben Shermans which were knock-offs. Brooks Brothers was the American label BS was being compared to.

Here are a couple of pics of Brooks Bros shirts:

They are rather nice. I recall that in 1966/7 up North quite a lot of mods wore windowpane check shirts with long button-down collars, rather like this one, usually done up at the neck and with a knitted tie:

The picture below is myself when I volunteered to help in an archaeological dig. The shirt I have there is a Madras cotton shirt with a button-down collar, similar colours to the second Brooks Bros one above. I'm wearing it outside my jeans because I was getting hot, but normally it would be tucked in and worn with braces.

Funny thing is, I ordered a Donkey Jacket from the UK about 4 days ago and it's already here

. By the way readers, the Ben Nevis (combat) Donkey Jacket is extremely warm, possibly too warm...at least for a Polish boy like myself

. Looks and feels great, only weird point is the shoulder seam is a little too far out (minute, but a little noticeable). Maybe the jacket will lay better after it's worn in a little, I've literally just taken it from the package and worn it for about five minutes.

(Of course I would never wear baggy or combat trousers, don't be unpolite! ;-) )

Not to be rude, just a friendly reminder!

Is the coat as warm and or boxy as your peacoat?

It's definitely warmer, strange because it feels lighter, it might be the lining. Hmm, it actually is a little slimmer around my torso than my peacoat, maybe I'll take a picture tomorrow.
