LOL

I need some more linen or cashco sportcoats, as well as linen or shantung ties in s/s colours (hint hint Ed!)

New pants wardrobe, including some nice summer ones.
Couple of linen shirts.
Nice spring/summer jacket.
Couple pairs of shoes.
Summery cologne.
Canvas/woven belts.


Just got myself some RE aviators, an interesting bi-colour panama, a pair of shoes, and a couple of light cotton shirts. The rest of my shopping list may have to wait for the Visa to recover a little bit.

Tempted by one of the Drakes madras ties I saw in Old England at the weekend. Will probably pick up another linen jacket from Cordings next time I'm in London (it's either that or one I like in Hackett). Paraboot has boat shoes in 80s preppy grey with pale rose trim and also red suede (these are glorious).

Have they added new designs other than the plain tan? Are they still ultra-skinny?

Perhaps you're thinking of the raw silk ties? The madras versions are very brightly coloured tartans in a smooth silk - though they are also slim (7 cm too).

I don't think I would buy at Old England - vicious mark-up. Drakes ties are €150 and to order from the UK via the website is around €100 (including postage). Drakes mail order service is excellent.
