I’ve got a vintage porcelain flower I’d only wear to weddings. It’s a subtle touch and certainly doesn’t outdo the groom.

So the little flower I have was from a Sydney SF gent--I forget his name, but he ran a little clothing accessories shop (I think they also sold polos, or maybe popovers?). This was back in the glory days of 2010-2012 IIRC...

Were the sleeves previously used for origami?

Sounds like Romp (I think) and "Owen & James", which sold popover and normal oxford-cloth shirts and a couple of other things, for a fairly brief period.

Then he went into business with Patrick Johnson and they diversified with the Chinese-made "Suit Shop" line.

Ouch...I haven’t had them pressed for like the last three months and have been wearing heaps. I adhere to the rule of only having linen suits pressed when y begin the summer and letting them crease

That shirt is fantastic. Is it a button down?

 

[The Chai]

No...but I had the collar shape cut in the shape of the Mercer button down collar and unlined. It’s made by luxire. So similar collar shape but not a button down. All my shirts have this collar...it’s so good

Is anyone going to the Christian Kimber drinks event this evening?

On a related note, I really want these:

Terrazzo Recycled Low Top - Off White Italian Leather

Our new signature sneaker combines a contemporary trainer profile with the highest quality Italian leather. Set on contrasting recycled rubber soles reminiscent of terrazzo, they have a minimal silhouette that goes well with both smart and casual outfits. Made in Portugal with love Fits true to...

They are both far more expensive than I even thought I’d spend on sneakers and still less expensive than most designer sneakers...

Switch to a deodorant that doesn’t use aluminium. Sure it won’t stop you sweating as much as an anti-perspirant, but you won’t get yellow stains on your white shirts and you won’t bleach the underarms of your coloured shirts white.

I like those from Anthony: Logistics for Men, L’Occitane, Taylor of Old Bond St (but not the Jermyn St, it doesn’t work) and Geo F Trumper.

For cheaper options you can buy at chemists and supermarkets, alum salt crystal deodorants also seem to work well but generally don’t have any scent. If you prefer a roll-on then Moo Goo.

No Pong is also quite good, although a different approach as it’s a little tin of a gritty paste. Works well and smells nice though. Good for travel.

I have found that deodorants with a coconut oil base (No Pong included) also stain the armpits of shirts over time. I haven't really been able to beat the eventual yellow underarm stains, but I've been able to remove them with a dishwashing liquid, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mix.

Just soak in Napisan.

Haven’t used No Pong enough to notice if I get get stains, however I never have with Logistics for Men, and I’ve been using that for years now.

Napisan is an oxygen bleach, I tried that first on some off white tshirts, and cream socks and it bleached them white. I've found the hydrogen peroxide/dishwashing liquid mix to actually not bleach my off white colored tshirts. It has however bleached some (but not all) dyed items of clothing.

 

[Contango]

How much are you using?! In decades of use I’ve only once bleached something, but that was using an old jar of a different brand, and perhaps also down to whatever dyes Zara used in their chinos.

How much Napisan or Hydrogen Peroxide? I think I followed the instructions on the Napisan when I did it (x amount per litres of water)

With the Hydrogen Peroxide, I don't use much, maybe a teaspoon or slightly more, mixed in with the other ingredients to form a paste.

however I never have with Logistics for Men, and I’ve been using that for years now.

Might have to look into that one.
