    Cucinelli Keeps Looking Forward

    Thanks for those beautiful old pre-London Transport central line posters too.

    Cucinelli Keeps Looking Forward

    Enrico that's such a snotty comment, I'm sure you don't mean to come across as such a snob. The ticket pocket was an English invention so as to allow a horse rider to access coins for tolls. In 18th century England poor people didnt ride horses. Therefore, the pocket evolved (as did you...

    Cucinelli Keeps Looking Forward

    Hi all! Yes, the ticket pocket is for transporting public transport tickets; useful to keep them separate from your wallet to minimise the risk of losing your cash or being pick-pocketed on public transport, and also because quick access to your train ticket minimises queuing at ticket...

    Cucinelli Keeps Looking Forward

    I'm not sure I want to be wearing my grandfather's clothes. Watches don't get eaten by clothes moths.

    Should a man have a signature scent? How many of you do and what is it?

    I Not sure about others, but I wash my clothes after each wear. If you're spraying your jackets and coats with scent then that's a bit strange.

    You seem unsure...

    Should a man have a signature scent? How many of you do and what is it?

    After years of parting with serious cash with the likes of Creed, it's Czech and Speake for me. I've always been a fan of 'Cuba' and 'No.88' but Ive settled on 'Oxford and Cambridge' for warm spring/summer days, 'Perfecto Fino' for evenings. Every time, and I mean every time, I wear Perfecto...

    Summer unlined loafers

    I have a grey and a brown pair of Tricker's "Elton". I think they're quite a pretty tassle loafer, half-lined, decent suede, but at almost £400/$500 they're quite expensive. (I got both pairs at half price in a sale 2 years ago... one of those "should I, shouldn't I...?" moments that actually...

    Advice Needed to Avoid a Costly Mistake

    Quite the opposite: I liked the jacket and was trying to convince myself that it was a keeper, but my head was saying otherwise. A chat with Woolrich in the UK confirms that quality control and odd design decisions by the Italian distributor have been causing problems for years.

    Thoughts on Chinos

    Chinos? One word: Sunspel. Particularly their slim, stretch. Oh... they also make the Riviera polo shirt that Daniel Craig wore in "Casino Royale". And their boxers are the best you can buy.

    Advice Needed to Avoid a Costly Mistake

    Hi all, I'd like some advice on a purchase I've just made. To cut a long story a little bit shorter... I have an old Woolrich Arctic parka - 10 years, a bit faded, but still good for dog walks as long as it doesnt rain - and I decided to buy a new one. It's also an Arctic parka but with a few...

    The mystery of the vanishing belt loops

    You have a chair that selectively abrades one single belt loop on a pair of trousers and ignores the rest of the fibres, particularly the butt and back of thighs which have far more contact? Odd... very odd. Unbelievably odd... i.e.; I dont believe a word of the OPs post.

    Barbour Stinks

    You read my post #23 right? Wax it when it's still wet.

    Wearing full suit during summer

    Underpants (white cotton briefs, preferably fresh that day) a string vest, espadrilles and a handkerchief (used, knotted at each corner) to keep my head shaded. It never fails to impress the ladies.

    Barbour Stinks

    Nothing quite like a late arrival to the forum party... 5 years late! It stinks, and you have no other alternative other than binning it or paying for an expensive re-wax, bite the bullet and wash it. Its a second hand jacket, so what have you got to lose? I have a 10 year old Cowen...
