    Heading to Royal Ascot next year. Does anyone have any morning suit hire advice. Was thinking of getting measured locally and then hire from Moss Bros in London. Only thing holding me back is that I hired a tux from them about twenty years ago and the experience was decidedly bottom drawer.

     Totally agree. I can also recommend getting some advice from the gentlemen on omegaforums.net. Here's a link to the thread where they helped me out with a 1967 Seamaster 565 cal. I paid $285 for it from some guy in Mexico, had it shipped to a guy in New York for a service and have had it...

     Thanks, was missing the friendly banter :D As for the Jeke, I don't think I'll ever get sick of that brute of a scent. Almost finished the bottle. What to try next?

    I've been getting some tempting spam from George and King recently, and being close their Sydney showroom I am thinking of having a go at their "bespoke" service. I think I'm looking at $1,200 to $1,700 depending on cloth. Fully canvassed but I doubt it's your own pattern hence putting bespoke...

     Score another for the Moleskin marketing team. Chatwin died almost ten years before they launched a notebook named after the nickname Chatwin gave to one if his notebooks. Appropriate I think, given Chatwin's liberal passing off of fiction as fact. Not withstanding, Chatwin's books are ace...

     The pedant in me needs to point out that Moleskin was dreamt up in 1997 whereas Leuchttrum1917 has been around since, er, 1917. It amazes me how they managed to sucker in people to believe they are writing in the same make/model of notebook Hemingway used.

     I'm a 9.5D UK or 10.5C US and the Loake 1880 Savoy's I bought are too wide, but OK to wear with an insert. They are on the Mayfair last.

     I bought a pair of slim 'comer' thin wale cords a couple of months ago. Nothing special, but at $25 on sale can't complain. Were really slim though. Would size up next time.

    There was some shirt talk a few days back. I am tallish (6'1"), bit longer in the body with the kind of hips that mean my trousers are often around the hips as opposed to just below my belly button. As a result I find that many OTR shirts come untucked at the gusset (the bit on the side...

     Props. Lots of cord love happening at the moment. I have a brown Canali suit from B&S being adjusted at the tailors right now. It was a steal, and basically brand new. For added interest it's ex Spoo. Still haven't figured if I'll have the guts to wear it work on casual Fridays. Otherwise...

    I got a pair of these a few weeks ago. Solid chukkas. Highly recommended for weekend loungers.

     Try a buckwheat pillow. Just make sure that it's very good quality so nothing but the husks is in there (e.g.traces of flour).

     I've bought some stuff from those guys recently. The pants were 'slim fit'. I'm a true 34, and ordered 33's. Two pairs fitted me just fine (but v. slim), 1 pair was too small. If I order slim fit again, I will be ordering 34. Bear in mind that was slim fit and no doubt the other fits would...

     Thanks man, very kind. I've got those samples already. I think Norne might be my next purchase. That or Ore. If anyone wants a sample of Jeke I am also happy to post. Just PM.

    I posted a week or two back about perfume for blokes. A recent thing for me, never really got it in the past. The turning point was discovering all these niche makers, especially the ones that are concerned with quality ingredients and less or no chemicals. I cannot recommend Slumberhouse...

    Quality Business wear shipping to Australia

    MJ Bale shirts are crap. I just took delivery of two shirts from Kamakura. Hands down best shirts ever. Especially for the money ($79USD delivered). Sizing takes some working out, but there's a good thread on here to guide you. I usually wear a slim 16/33 or 34 and their Tokyo slim 16/33.5 fits...

    Any thoughts on odd trousers? I've got a few pairs, grey flannel (one light weight, one medium weight), khaki chinos, khaki fine wool dress trousers, and a pair of brown worsted. So basically just plain grey and plain khaki and plain brown. Do you think these would be a legit choice? I'm...

     Think of it as a Rorschach test. Further analysis required.
