    Charles Tyrwhitt Policy Change - No Value Added Tax Refunds!!!!

    Does all this mean that we here in the UK can take Brooks Brothers, Abercrombie, Gap, Banana Republic, Apple etc. to court for charging UK customers up to double what they charge US customers? Different prices in different markets is hardly a new phenomenon.

    BB 1818 suit with Zegna Cloth - How Old

    If they put their name to crappy suits made of crappy material then why would they be any less happy to put their name to the crappy material too?

    1930's Jack Hobb's Fleet Street Jacket Cricket, rowing, hurling?

    No, it's University College London Hockey Club. Hockey as in field hockey. We still have the same crest on our playing kits today. Where did you find that jacket? It's an incredible piece of history.

    Buttondown shirts in the UK

    Sorry, I meant that there are a couple listed on the website that do come in 'long' sizes. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Buttondown shirts in the UK

    Thomas Pink have buttondowns that have sized collars (inches and half inches) and can take a tie. Pink is more expensive than Charles Tywhitt and T.M. Lewin, but I was happy with a couple of small check buttondowns I picked up from their Bicester Village outlet shop for at £34 each, and they...

    Buttondown shirts in the UK

    Boggi Milano shirts are preety good, they have a nice collar roll and are reasonably slim fitting (though not excessively so). Also, Hackett shirts have a wonderful roll and are available online if there aren't any near you. Unfortunately both only seem sell button downs in the S/M/L/XL sizes...

    Buttondown shirts in the UK

    I'm sure you've already considered this and ruled it out for good reason, but how about Brooks Brothers' Regent Street store? Last time I went in there (which was, admittedly, some time ago), they didn't seem to have all that much in stock, and certainly nothing slim fit. I also have something...

    Buttondown shirts in the UK

    At the moment, generally between Canterbury and Cambridge, although I do occasionally get into London.

    Buttondown shirts in the UK

    I've been looking for a while, with no real success for decent quality, fairly slim fitting OCBD shirts in the UK, available in a range of sizes more than S,M,L. I take a 16/36 dress shirt, but with 40 inch chest and 32 inch waist, really need slim or tailored fits. Most places here only seem...

    Pre-owned Barbours in London

    Camden Market will definitely have some somewhere, wouldn't be suprised if they were charging anywhere between £40 and £80 for them though.

    I've just had my head shaved for charity...

    Glasses work really well, especially something a bit heavy framed or tortoiseshell, something traditionally seen as a bit 'geeky' to pull you back from the convict look into a middle ground. There's an Australian actor whose name I can't remember that does it pretty well.

    British Synonyms

    Pudding - Dessert But we have 'dessert' too, and they mean different things, pudding is the sweet course, and dessert is the cheese/fruit course that follows the pudding. Then of course there is the issue of the 'pudding' as a dish rather than course, which doesn't necessarily even have to be...

    Brooks Brothers duffle or Rugby (Worn Photos Included)

    A duffle is a casual coat, and to my mind the Rugby coat is more casual and a little more stylish, a bit shorter, and proper, rugged, rope toggles, like the originals. If you want a smart coat get a chesterfield or a covert coat, if you want a casual coat get the Rugby duffle, the BB is trying...

    Most Bizarre Thing You Ever Ate

    Had all the classics, chickens feet, duck's neck, bulls penis, hundred year eggs, and recently in Istanbul Kokorec, a kebab made from yards and yards of lamb intestine wrapped around a skewer and grilled.

    The Suit by Manton: An Online Illustrated Companion (group effort)

    Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast!

    Charcuterie - Go Pig or Go Home

    Here are the rolls of skin I mentioned. They are cooking in duck and pork fat while some more pork fat is melting for future use: What a waste of potential crackling.

    I had cheese that came out of a can once, that was pretty weird.

    'Murikans may be stupid, selfish, and lazy, but we sure are purty.

    Its all down to Hollywood. I hadn't been to the States until recently, and whether you realise it or not, on a subconscious level an outsider's view of the US is heavily shaped by TV and films. I went to visit a friend at UPenn, and visited NYC, and life is certainly fairly accurately...

    Calling Brits: what's Jack Wills like?

    I'd say it started as the British Abercrombie, but is aspiring towards the British RL Rugby/Polo, especially with the new(er) brand from the same people at www.aubinandwills.com. Twice as expensive as Abercrombie, but Abercrombie itself is twice as expensive in the UK too. Lots of public school...
