Cheers Ralph Lauren 3/2 Linen and Wool mix jacket and Art Gallery shirt.
My scootering days are long gone (for the moment), but fancy a new Royal Alloy GT300.

A good point about weather,we are getting much warmer Winters here and rain in Winter and Summer....
So rainproof jackets with detatchable linings are really useful, I have seen a Filson jacket in a sale online that looks as if it could be useful.
Filson is expensive here but I think that its made in USA (from British fabric) so I dont mind paying more than I would for made in China/Vietnam etc.
This one has a waist drawstring so the shape is better than some jackets of this type,I have been told to size down.
Anyone got any experience with Filson jackets ? quality ? sizing ? View attachment 1651195 View attachment 1651195

Well I bought the jacket after a lot of thought,mainly because I liked the colour .
Sizing was the biggest issue and I went down a size to my normal size and it is really fitted...
The colour is excellent,slightly darker than the picture,and I really like the handwarmer pockets that go behind the main pockets.
tbh the UK price was ridiculous imo and even though I got it at 30% off normal price it was still more than double the price of my Barbour Sapper.
Will try and get a picture wearing it sometime...
Watching Ebay for a black one now........

Never liked the woolly pully pulled down under battle dress blouse or Ma1.
Heres some retro looking boots to go with that look,Cheaney bronze army boots.

Speaking of what the movie i am really waiting for is the new D U N E by Villeneuve. It was due to release next Xmas, but with the recent events, it might be delayed...
Might be digressing a bit though...

I’m really looking forward to that as well. Want to see Nolan’s Tenet as well.

Well i've Seen D U N E yesterday (it was first released in France, two days ago) and i've got mixed feelings about it, maybe i was waiting for it too much.
I was really impressed by the book, so i think i could only be disappointed with the movie (like i was with David Lynch's version).
It would be interesting to have the opinion of someone who didn't read the book that could give an objective review of the film.
While i liked Villeneuve cold futuristic aesthetics in his Blade Runner 2049, i didn't like it this time, i had a warmer mood and atmosphere in mind. Some great scenes though, and i din't see the 2 hours and 35 minutes pass...

Getting lots of use out of new Ring Jacket sport coat in their almost see-through Balloon fabric. Canali shirt and tie with Isaia pants. It’s still very hot here.

I didn't have high hopes for the new Dune. I regard Villeneuve's Enemy and Prisoners as some of the best films of that decade but the 2017 version of Blade Runner was a mess. I don't blame him entirely for that as I know that when a studio spends the money buying into franchises there must be so many compromises forced upon the director and I expected the same from the new Dune. I won't even bother seeing it I think. I hope Villeneuve gets the chance to direct a film where he gets a bit more control in the future.

Friday Challenge - Double Denim

It's time for another round of Friday Challenge! This time the challenge is themed "Double Denim", or as some would call it "Canadian Tuxedo". I'm really looking forward to see what you make out of it. The input I got beforehand was a request for a theme that would suit both Classic Menswear...
