Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

Hmmmm, Zegna maybe. Though I think Ralph Lauren would probably be the smart choice. Both feature timeless designs of exceptional quality, but have a firm enough grasp on the modern without going overboard. Also, both produce enough variety that you'd always have something decent for any occasion.

I'll have to go with Lakeland. The one designer restriction used to seem like an annoyance, but now I see it as a wonderful chance to explore the possibilities of HazLeisure.

wearing nothing but nonnative seems like a nice life to me

I'm going to London in January and from what it seems it's going to be raining and cold there. I don't have any rain jacket, would this apolis transit issue field jacket do me well? Or should I look for something warmer?

I have the Apolis Transit parka from that line nad it's essentially just a single cotton (supposedly Ventile) layer. It's fine for layering over a suit, but London in January seems pretty darn cold and I'd go with something more insulated. Also, the craftsmanship of the jacket is rather meh.

Ah, Ok. Thanks for the heads up. Going to pass then.

I couldn't do a single brand. But if I absolutely had to it would probably be W+H to be honest. I could do work fits from that and they fit me well in general and they make things that are warm enough for these winters.

I can't say I'd be happy about it - or that I'm particularly happy to admit it - but yeah, probably the same here.

Margaret Howell, obviously..

eidos napoli, but i can't afford it so i buy lemaire

 

[GoldenTribe]

I don't think I've ever worn a single label head to toe, but I own top-to-bottom elements (shoes, pants, shirt/sweater and outerwear) from at least four brands.

Out of those four, Lanvin and Prada are the two with which I could actually produce wearable outfits.

Is it cheating if I say Luxire?

 

[basil rathbone]

Probably something boring like APC, Acne, Ami probably. Ervell maybe. Hard to say, haven't owned enough stuff to actually make a decision.

Tom Ford and Cuccinelli everyday.
