    New bespoke shoe option in Northern Ireland

    Carrying on from my advocacy of Smyth & Gibson of Belfast shirts recently, I thought I would make the members aware of a new bespoke shoemaker, also in Northern Ireland. http://www.robinsonsshoemakers.com/a...ns_repairs.asp Robinsons of Carrickfergus, a long established cobbler have expanded...

    New shirt option- Smyth & Gibson

    Dear members, I have just noticed that Smyth & Gibson, a shirtmakers who have only ever sold out of their boutique in Belfast have now gone 'online'. http://www.smythandgibson.com/ These shirts are beautiful, I have 2, although I would say they were both bought in sales. I'm poor. If you...

    Stretching a Bowler

    I have just taken delivery of a Christy's bowler (wool felt, not fur) from ebay and sadly, despite ordering my normal hat size, it is just too snug for comfort. (This from a quick try on before I left the flat this morning) Now this is where the sage advice of Style Forum members comes in...

    Blackthorn stick

    I seem to be having no luck with the internet these days, so can anyone recommend a seller, preferably in the British Isles of quality Irish blackthorn sticks? My father uses one (was part of his uniform) and I would quite like one myself to assist in longer walks (Twice suffered a complete...

    I have ordered my first bespoke suit!!!

    It is with great excitement that I have to report that I finally made the leap and ordered my first bespoke suit today. (First for me, I own a Savile Row bespoke suit that I picked up in Bertie Wooster’s on the Fulham Road, previously having belonged to some now presumably long dead Guards...

    Quality braces/suspenders with brown leather ends?

    Can anyone direct me to a seller of decent quality braces with brown leather ends? Thurston seem to have black or white only. Has anyone tried their bespoke service? Is it at much additional cost over their rtw lines (They are made where I live, perhaps I can bluff a visit to the factory!) I...

    Brown leather iphone case/cover

    Can anyone recommend a source for a reasonable quality dark tan leather case/cover for an iphone? I have had a scan online and ma underwhelmed. I would prefer a simple cover, no dreadful belt attachment nonsense, just something stylish to protect it. Thanks in advance.

    No Heroes in my back yard!

    Some of the forum members may be aware of this issue from the UK press. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770 It is often the first port of call for servicemen and women returning home after being wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan. Soldiers who may have lost limbs or suffered...

    Richard Hammond seriously injured in crash

    BBC Top Gear's Richard Hammond has been seriously injured in a crash at 315MPH while filming for the latest series. He has been airlifted to hospital, but reading between the lines from the various reports it does not look good. British, Irish and Dutch viewers will know him. Get well soon...

    Tartan Trews

    My latest project is to have a pair of trews made. I have selected Ulster Red tartan, and I have been given a recommendation by a former forum member of a Scottish lady who will make them up for me. My main intention is to substitute them for my dinner trousers for black tie affairs...

    Classics

    I recently saw "Tunes of Glory" for the first time in ages. I couldn't actually remember what happened, so in many ways it was a first viewing. What a superb film. Although it is set many decades ago it certainly stands the test of time, and from my experience it is a reasonably accurate...

    Resole RM Williams boots?

    After only a year I need to have a new sole added to my RM Williams boots. I suppose I cannot complain as I have worn them constantly since purchase. Can anyone, especially UK based members offer any advice about getting them done? Is it possible to have them done by an "approved" cobbler in...

    Penhaligons cologne

    I am just back from a visit to GB and I thought I would just let the forum members know, in case they were unaware, of a good source of these excellent products. Penhaligons have an outlet at Bicester village, and instead of the £35 or £40 I paid for my Blenheim Bouquet in London they have...

    NWT Zimmerli boxer shorts

    I have 3 pairs of Zimmerli boxers available. I will be offering these on ebay, but I thought I would give the forum members a chance first. They are £8 each, plus £2 postage to the UK or £3 to the US. They are all brand new with tags in box and are a natural colour in an attractive striped...

    Sandals

    I am considering booking a short, last minute trip away to sunnier parts of Europe than windy and wet Northern Ireland and so I require suitable footwear. Can anyone recommend any smart sandals or similar style shoes? All I can find are horrible rubber moulded sole monstrosities and one single...

    Have any forum members any experience with this shop- http://www.rhodeswood.co.uk/ I have been to Harrogate a few times but somehow managed to miss it. (too drunk in "Jimmys") I will be visiting again in a few months, so any insights are welcome.

    First visit to Rajafashions today.

    I paid my first visit to these guys this morning, and I thought I would share my experience with you all, and ask a few questions. Overall the experience was much faster than I anticipated, although that was perhaps due to the fact that I knew exactly what I wanted (I had a list of features...
