We're not all like that. Some of us are committed to slippers once we are home.

In fact, we always had home slippers when I was growing up in Tokyo. And when I used to visit the grandparents in Bangladesh, we wore home slippers too (combination of cold floors in winter and dust.. year round).

And on that Asian note, I got a pair of home slippers from Muji. That, and of bathroom slippers I misappropriated from the W in Taipei. Man, they're comfy.

Regarding slippers, I am more a barefoot man, even back in sunny Scotland (though as kids we had these great gorilla slippers).

These are the only pair I own, Michael Bastian X Stubbs and Wootton

My wife - who is Japanese - wears slippers year round. She has light ones with open toes for summer and thicker, heavier ones with closed toes for winter. I usually just go barefoot year round but I do sometimes find myself reaching for a pair of slippers in the middle of winter. When we visit her parents' place in Tokyo, the house slippers are all too small for me so I just end up going barefoot!

That's the one. I believe you can get some samples from them pretty readily at their warehouse.


CD - have you ever seen any Old Spice eu de cologne/ toilette on your travels? I have some and its running out and I have never seen it anywhere. Underrated I reckon.

On another note* - I see that your G/F Michelle is still regurgitating press releases and doing Kylie Mole tram conversations analysis - "He said - then she said - then he goes y'know"

*small perfumery pun

Old Spice? I had you pegged as a Brut 33 kind of guy.

I play the field:: Azzaro Pour Homme, Sung Homme, Jovan Musk, Davidoff Coolwater and Old Spice.

Would never use Old Spice as an after shave though.

Not all the cheaper ones are bad.

This is a good investment:: Perfumes: The A-Z Guide, Luca Turin (Author), Tania Sanchez (Author)

The only book on perfume I've read is Perfume by Patrick Suskind.

Have watched a couple of very good documentaries on the art a while back.

For our Sandgroper brethren (btw, good to see you posting again JohnsNotHere) - came across this in my travels.

Could be an interesting development on the menswear scene over there.


Thanks mate, good to be back. Perth is slowly improving with both Herringbone and MJ Bale now having a presence.
