    Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

    Ordered one in Burgundy yesterday. Got it already. Outstanding service from EG. Definitely a well made wallet, but I won't be telling anyone what I paid for it! (Should have spent on the shoes instead). MM.

    Saphir MDO wax polish colours for G&G vintage leather

    I recently acquired a pair of G&G in rioja colouring. I will try Saphir MDO Cream and Wax in Bordeaux on them and let you know how I get on. In my experience the polish colour doesn't have to be bang on unless you are absolutely particular about a colour shade. I used Bordeaux on Edward Green...

    Burgundy shoe polish?

    Saphir offers a Mahogany and a Burgundy. Both are predominantly red of course, but the Mahogany is more of a Yellow/Brown Red compared to the Purple/Red of the Burgundy. As such I would recommend the Burgundy, but realized in the last few months that it's not massively critical to get the...

    Ever find yourself ridiculously overdressed? to the point of being inappropriate?

    I live in Ireland and am working in an IT type job. The environment is highly informal with the very odd suit, and occasional tie being seen. Most managers just wear shirt and slacks, which is what I normally wear too. Most of my Irish colleagues were quite used to a steady improvement in...

    Is a hat ''stylish'' also in this century?

    I reckon hats still have their place in the modern world, but the need for one is greatly reduced. People drive more than walk, Umbrellas are cheap, People spend less time outdoors in cold or wet weather. Most hat wearing today is functional. Raincaps, sunhats, baseball caps are worn without...

    How to wear a panama hat

    Probably not. But the Panama deserves it's own. I got a rollable Optimo Cuenca for £50 from http://www.panamahats.co.uk/, It's not bad, but I've also ordered a Montecristi fedora from https://www.brentblack.com/ (for considerably more!). My thinking is a sun hat is a good thing to have, and a...

    Mad Men Tie

    It may not be quite what you're looking for but Paul Smith seems to do a number of skinny ties. I bought two recently and they're my favourites. http://www.paulsmith.co.uk/uk-en/shop/mens/accessories/ties?ps_style=1029
