    No first time to the Indian continent. Am quietly very excited. Have Lonely Planet packed so will do some research on the way over. Re Zegna - totally share your observations. All I would add is that the store almost looked on the empty side. Garments upstairs were sparce and well spread...

    Shoes no issues, they seem ok and over time have developed a quality shine. However...... the laces they use are rubbish. Have sent for flat leather laces from The Knottery and they are much much better. Its often the little things. My next pair will however be Carminas.
