Put this in your diary.
The majority of clothes are women's but there is a small amount of men's stuff and its good and cheap. Some of it even iGent approved.

I can definitely agree with that. In previous sales, I have picked up; Kiton, Brioni, Ferragamo, Borrelli, Stefano Ricci, Marinella, Tallbott, Zegna, T&A, etc.

Pinky - you might tell people how good it is - for females - mothers, sisters, etc and especially for wives or G/Fs or both

Yes - very good. Go if you can.

Melbourne guitar heads John Scofield Trio is playing Brids Basement next week. Miss at your own peril. So pissed off as this appears to be his only Oz gigs.

what were the frame materials on either of your frames CD? buffalo? acetate? I'm still waiting for the day I pick up some genuine tortoise shell frames in a thrift shop

I found some on display at a hotel's sitting room in Bangkok. None for sale, though.

There were antique knick knacks which were immaculately exhibited in the library, sitting room, and dining room. Vintage trunks, taxidermy, notebooks, maps, books, mapping tools, optician's equipment.

Thanks for the update and pics, won't be to everyones taste but I think the above works alright.

I couldn't decide between olive / navy and sure enough by the time i'd decided today the spring20 no longer works >.< always the way when procrastinating on promos.

I think olive will age better. Get it from Mr Porter. It will be about $25 aud more. But much quicker delivery and you will get a garment bag to store it and the free White pocket square. I am expecting a Barbour liddesdale navy from end tomorrow.

I've bought two Henley frames now, and they are both excellent.

I know I could call, but indicative price range?

Couldn't say; it's years since I bought them, and can't recall what I paid.

Can't remember his name, but there was a member here a while ago whose idea of design was to cut holes in shirts, ties, etc. Has he made a comeback?

 

[Osiris2012]

haha classic, just need the boot spurs now.

 

[LonerMatt]

Really want one of those Brisbane umbrellas.

Would be so good in England.
