Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

[yorkshire pud]

Which of their items have you tried? Chinos, jeans, 5-pocket?
I am looking at their 5-pocket but the jeans also look interesting. Haven't really found a jean maker that I really like yet for the price.

I like the "Heroes" Chino, perfect for the UK climate (I wear 34W 31L build B and weigh in at around 14 stone and 6 ft tall, fairly athletic build (the build A is a bit skinny), they will happily exchange them if the fit isn't to your liking.

My Jean of choice is the Levis Vintage Clothing 1967 505 in 34 W 32L, they are selvedge (but sanforised with a zip so no shrinkage to worry about) and slightly tapered but not too slim, a solid choice and readily available in various washes. I only buy this style now and have three pairs on the go. I usually buy them at around £140 when they go on sale.

I hear good things about Kika NYC. https://www.kikany.com/belts_/oval-buckle-1

Love my Kika in black. My favorite belt. Thin, and the leather is high quality despite being very soft. Coming from english bridle it's been night and day.

What do you folks think about the PS short-sleeve merino wool and long-sleeve Dartmoor sleeve polos? I've been eyeing these for a while but it would be nice to have some input from others.

I love the look and the collars in particular, but they're really expensive. Wondering if anyone has tried either?

The Finest Polo

The finest polo shirt, both in style and in make. This merino knit was designed to be the most elegant option for a polo in warm weather. The high-performance material retains a smooth, smart look, while the collar is cut like a shirt to create a smarter look. Worn with tailored linen trousers...

The Dartmoor sweater

The Dartmoor is a recreation of a collaboration first undertaken by Permanent Style in 2014. The updated version of the polo-collar sweater is made by Italian factory Umbria Verde, and has had its collar completely re-worked to make it better able to sit underneath a tailored jacket. Simon...

I recently ordered the short sleeve version. Sized up because the chest measurement looked very small, so hopefully that was the right move. It should be here Monday, so I can let you know

I have the Dartmoor sweater and I like it a lot: luxurious material and accurate finishing. It fits rather snug, so you might potentially be willing to size up in order to get a more loose fit.

I received the short sleeve polo today. It has a very crisp/dry hand, which will be nice for warmer weather. The finishing seems impeccable and it is definitely nicer than something from Smedley or the like. I think it is a good value for what it is, but it totally depends on what you're willing to pay a premium for, of course.
Regarding sizing, they actually updated the sizing to be slightly bigger this year. I probably could have gone true to size for a more fitted polo.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love hear some updates once you've had a chance to wear it a few times in the warm weather +/- a few washes.

Good to know. Again, like the material and collar and I haven't seen such a good collar elsewhere yet. Nice deparure from the typical pique polos or typical merino polos that have flimsy collars.

Having said that, I am intrigued to also give Anthonlogy and Luca Faloni's full-seleve polos a try but the DArtmoor PS polo is def on my list as well in navy or olive. Very expensive though.

Anyone have sizing advice for Asahi sneakers? I've heard they fit large. I usually wear an 11 in casual shoes or 11.5 in Nikes. I'm thinking maybe size 28?

Anyone doing a similar sweater that isn't Todd Snyder?

Inis Meain makes rolled edge sweaters like that. Not sure of the current season offerings though.
