Argh, Sator, not you with the Peso talk!

The Aussie gets treated as a joke around here.

Herringbone has had a few horizontal stripes in.

Yes, Charles Nakhle it is indeed.

As for the Aussie dollar - it just hit 0.63 USD. So it's the peso again for the reborn Aussie banana republic

No wonder my RM Williams thread has seen so much action of late.

The night is darkest before the dawn!

I've heard above parity talk a fair bit. Treasuries are so over bought.

I just wish my new RM williams didnt power crease

And, considering that your tag is inside your collar, it's a pretty silly thing to be bragging about.

Agreed. See also Brioni, Kiton...

speaking of RLPL shirts, I purchased a keaton collar shirt recently without trying it on. I thought given its tailored focus and Italian maker, the fit should be decent, though I knew I would have to have it tapered and put in darts. BIG mistake, the shirt fit like a tent, especially the huge arm holes. I've had better fit from Polo's line of custom fit shirts.

the yellow and black focus isn't clothing based, its sportswear.

There are some primary color based Black Label dress shirts (think orange and green) but no bumble bees
