Brooksfield shirts.
I love them. Can get them regularly at 25 bucks a pop and if lucky sifting through the sample rack I can get them for 10 bucks.
Hey CEP, did you get anything else?
Just for you FXH,
A sick Mrs and crook neck for the past week has meant no posting. Back to work now though.
Details -
Suit: Messini Charcoal DB
Shirt - Cottonwork Thomas Mason purple gingham (an early collar of mine I really don't like)
Tie: Henry Carter Neckwear Navy Grenadine un-lined 7 fold
Shoes: Black 1880 Loake Knightsbridge
Nah... Already have a brown glen-plaid for them, and I've got a bit of a love-hate relationship with green ties... I'm not sure they work for me.
Also, I've spent too much this month already.
Speaking of which, my new wine-red Drakes boucle tie with bespoke shirt in white Alumo fabric from Nakhle, P Johnson French Navy twill suit (Loro Piana) and black C&J Belgraves.
Very well done. Are those Pink Socks?
Nice tie.
I'm not sold on the very obvious pick-stitching on P Johnson clothing. It bothers me a little when I look at what they have made for me.
^ True that. The photograph in your Avatar is what made me decide to give P Johnson a shot.
Is this from the South Yarra shop or is there an outlet somewhere else?
Haha... nope; they're red with very fine navy stripes. Pantherella from DJs.
Doesn't bother me either way; pick or no pick stitching. After 6 disastrous Zegna Su Misuras (all of which had pick stitching) and 2 mediocre bespoke garments (one of which wasn't even bespoke, though the outfit claimed it was), I'm just glad I've found a good, competent and reasonably-priced tailor.
Caution about the tie: boucle is a very thick fabric!
BTW, Anyone here read F Corb's 'coherent combinations' thread? Pretty solid material there, and if you haven't, I would highly recommend it.
Nice tie.
