It is exactly what I was picturing in my head too. That one gem in the whole place at cie FI, that and this dope mid thigh length cp co jacket in washed linen. My cardi even came with a spare button you have to see it. Looks so dope with the fedora player, I'll try to take a pic tomorrow or some **** still don't have the sony camera software.

Some new goodies from the last month: Ballantyne grey cashmere v-neck, like new, $20 from ebay. Thick and soft and a nice slim fit to boot. http://img244.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0007jf9.jpg Brooks Bros. made in England black wingtips. I don't really wear black dress shoes very often, but these are great basics and they were cheap as hell.http://img80.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0008rx5.jpg Samurai S0505XX. These are awesome. I've only worn them once so far (I've been wearing my SD-105 mostly for now) but the fit is the perfect amount of anti-fit while still being slim, and the denim and details are amazing. http://img146.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0009ev0.jpg Troglodyte Homunculus shirt from the Seize Sur Veingt online store. I like this shirt a lot but I have few reservations. The fit could be a tad slimmer and I'd prefer a slightly bigger collar, but the fabric is very nice and the buttons are cool. http://img182.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0012sa9.jpg Polo Cashmere/wool zip cardigan. I was looking for something exactly like this for a while. The color, fit and length are all perfect.

Baron, nice pickups. I like that Trog shirt, too bad it's not slimmer fitting but that's something your tailor can easily remedy.

hahaa thanks J, me and one of the workers snatched up the two popular sizes and I think only two were left, glad you liked it. I want to pick up the branquinho piece and maybe a marni one also in the next couple of months, love cardigans.

yep, they had one in my size...it was tempting but I have a few FP sweaters (incl cardi's) that I don't wear enough so I passed but it's def right up my alley. post some pics of you wearing it when the weather gets cooler

I need to get this cam situation rectified. If it weren't for you I wouldn't have known about the real deal uk stuff. I always liked fp but thought the quality was slightly shoddy way back when I had a polo years ago. I owe you a drink homey.

We are pretty much the same size.
yeah.... ive changed my mind about them... especially after doing a search and seeing that the yahoo jp auctions for these start around 45000 yen.

I bought my first pair of chucks today. Black and white, there pretty comfortable. Also got a nice light blue zip up from Penguin, and it fits so nice.

Hmmm.. Interesting, but the quarters look really open on that jacket, and the proportions seem slightly off. I could see that jacket looking really good if it were loosened up a bit though.

Me, I've gotten a Nom de Guerre M65 (my wife said that this was my early Christmas present) and a new Messenger bag (a Chrome Citizen - got a pretty good deal on the price - local hookup) as well as a Engineered Garments for Styleforum belt. I am savoring the last few days I am the only person in the world with a blue one (my wife has one in henna) while all the others are on route to their rightful owners. Hmmm, I've got a fair bit of new stuff recently. Excepting jeans and tees. Time to re-focus on the basics again, I guess.
