What would you do with stone tools anyway?


Don't be mean, they could tell time.

I am after my first shoe polish kit. Was wondering if you guys could give me some recommendations on what to get?

I was thinking Florsheim shoes care kit
http://www.florsheim.com.au/shop/style/400013.html

With 30% code (PRIVATE30), it comes down to about $20. Should I or should I get something better?


Old shoe box- free.

Old tshirts- free.

Large horsehair brush from Florsheim- A$20.

Small brush from anywhere- $5.

Get waxes, creams and polishes from shoepolish.net.au which stocks both Glenkaren and Saphir.

Baller shoes.

perhaps uniqlo? for the moment suitsupply don't have any linen woven shirts since they're heading into colder months.

I really like Uniqlo's linen shirts for casual, weekend wear, but the collars aren't really made for wearing with a tie.


I'm afraid to buy stuff based on my birth year

It's all faded to dust by now, hasn't it??

Uniqlo linen shirts are nice and very well priced.But I have super long arms and xs and s size sleeves are about 1.5" too short. Suit supply seems to have few linen shirts for around $100. But sizing is way off for me (shoulder 2cm too short). I need between 44-45cm across shoulders on a 36-37collar and 64-64.5cm sleeves . Quite difficult fit.

I've had success with Brooks Brothers linen shirts. White, with button-down collar. Picked one up during one of their many sales for around $65, IIRC.
