    Buying Rimowa in Japan

    Well it's ubiquitous here, and that combined with the haul that I want to bring home has led me to give in to my urge for an aluminium case. Is there any price variation between different stores, or am I going to overpay regardless? I'm thinking one of the mid-sized Topas four-wheelers. In...

    Repairs to Valextra briefcase?

    Hi all, I have a lovely two-gusset dark brown Valextra briefcase, purchased years ago from Styleforum's B&S. Annoyingly, a little while ago, the leather on the handle started to peel a little, revealing black underneath. It's not that noticeable, but on such an expensive bag, it feels like it...

    Mould on suits

    Help! I have a walk-in cupboard near my ensuite bathroom in my house, and some damp has seemingly caused mould to grow on a couple of old suits. Not my favourites, but I'd rather they not be destroyed!! What can I do? Dry cleaning? Something else? They are airing outside at present...

    Saphir polish for C&J colours?

    I know there are tons of "what Saphir for X brand" threads, but I couldn't find a proper one for Crockett and Jones, and the ones that touch on it don't really answer my questions. So, just briefly, what would you use for Chestnut and Beechnut coloured C&Js?

    Classic colognes and modern manufacture

    Gentlemen, After eschewing fragrance for some time, I am looking to pick up a classic cologne, probably for evening and weekend use only. I tried and liked Acqua di Parma, which I prefer to Blenheim Bouquet which is also readily available in my neck of the woods. I also enjoy the "Colonia...

    Recommend a desk for me?

    Gents, I am due to graduate from law school next week (at goddamn last). My parents have resolved to buy me a desk for a graduation present, which I will initially use at home, but ultimately may move to work if/when I have my own chambers. They are keen for me to pick something that will last...

    Removing paint from leather and wool

    Gentlemen, A tragedy befell me this morning, an unmarked patch of paint on the pavement led to my tripping, injuring myself and getting oil-based paint on my suit, shoes and briefcase. I did my best to remove same, to insufficient avail, and expect that I shall be compensated by the insurers...

    Hunting for recent photoessay on Neapolitan style

    Not long ago (last week?) I saw a great photoessay from someone's recent trip to Naples (or somewhere it Italy, Naples makes sense). I can't for the life of me think of where it was, may have been a forum thread, but I feel like it was probably a blog post. The one particular identifying...

    Looking for website mentioned the other day

    Hi all, Sorry to generate another thread, but I am struggling to find something even after a good deal of searching. The other day, there was a post suggeting that if people were dissatisfied with T-Mag etc, and interested in a site with more scientific discussion of diet/exercise, they...

    What is this song (from the YSL Homme show)?

    I was watching some of the runway videos on the YSL website, and fell in love with a song, which I simply don't know the name of (Googling the lyrics yields no assistance). If anyone knows, I'd be eternally grateful. The website is: http://www.ysl.com/INT/en/index.aspx You need to click on...

    Calvin Klein "Grey Label" (remarkably good!)

    Recently I was in Melbourne, where I found a new Calvin Klein store that looked quite upmarket compared to the old cK Jeans shop nearby. I approached with caution, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fabrics and tasteful minimalism of the styling. Somewhat reminiscent of, eg...

    Rhodes and Beckett - Australian Shirt Label

    I'm curious as to what fellow Antipodean members think of this brand. To my knowledge, it's mostly owned by the brothers who run Harrolds, and has taken over the Harrolds Shirt retail spaces. However, the quality seems to be better, and I get the impression (from their marketing etc) that they...

    Non-surgical ear pinning

    Just a fairly straightforward question. I know that there is a minor surgical process called osteoplasty that removes a small amount of cartilage to make your ears sit flatter against your head. I have heard apocryphically about a similar result being had by basically "taping" ones ears back...

    Cologne "going off"?

    I've encountered this problem once or twice with colognes, particularly with my current favourite, Gucci Pour Homme. What started out as a rich, complex aroma has seemingly died down to a few notes (which don't smell very nice). I wonder if it's due to heat (fairly warm climate) or just age...

    Cheap Mondays - the False Prophet Seal of Approval

    Hi kids, I've been at great pains to find a new pair of skinny, dark, dry jeans lately, and I've tried all the usual suspects. Nudie Slim Jim and Thin Finn, Acne Max, Imperial Dukes, etc etc. None of them really did it for me - I liked the fit of Finns, but the stretch denim annoyed the hell...

    Red Ear Sneaker Sizing - need help!!

    Hi kids, Thinking of getting a pair of Paul Smith Red Ear gymboots as an alternative to all the Converse out there (can't afford Dior!). A friend of mine said that his seem to run large (he's a 13, but his Red Ears are an 11). Does anyone have any experience with these? I take a 40 in...

    Which Nudie fits closest to Dior Homme?

    Howdy all, I was looking at a pair of Dior Jeans in the dark indigo the other day, and though I love the Dior look on the runway, I felt no real compulsion to spend $500+ chasing it. Nudie seem to have much better denim quality too, and though the back pockets are a little garish, I can deal...

    Juergen Klinsmann - Polo Style

    I've been watching a lot of World Cup, and I'm a big Germany fan. I noticed their coach, former striker Juergen Klinsmann, looking really fly in these sort of dressy polos. I think they're custom made for the team, but can anyone recommend something similar? Cheers, Eden P.S. If there's...
