Nah **** that. Ray Ban, Persol are built amazingly but fashion frames are a complete waste of time and money to buy. In my personal experience of course.

I have a pair of Tod's shield sunglasses that I picked up in TK Maxx for £16 but with a retail of £280 I'd never pay. The frames are ****, and the lenses are plastic.

I'm wearing my £99 Seiko 5 auto and have been everyday for a year. It's fantastic, so I'm with you on that my man.

Huge fan of person, have a pair of Persol Steve mcqueens, my go tos are a pair of tortoise ray ban wayfarer then the Persol then I use the Oliver People's third (only because I'm afraid of ******* them up)

Weirdest content label I've ever seen was on a similar piece: antique French nuns linen sheets

In all honesty, if you take a RTW piece made by Chester Barrie and you comb the thing, you will find that it's bespoke level quality. I do and or have owned em all, literally. Never Cifonelli or Orazio, but I think I can pretty much check the rest off, and to this day, the most handwork I have ever seen was on a Chester Barrie for Carroll & Co suit from the early/mid 90s. And it wasn't even the quantity of handiwork and obvious time dedicated to the construction of the suit, it was the quality of the work that really said something. They are without a doubt the most underrated and under appreciated in the game. I may love Zegna, but I have the most admiration for Barrie no doubt.

This.

My favourite suit is a Chester Barrie, there is a ton of handwork on there.

+1. Our fellow locals need to step up their game, that way I can get some MMM, Buschemi, or some CP's.

Was treated to an early pamper session at the future site of LuxeSwap brick and mortar.

love those jackets. Spoo - not looking for a handout by any means, but if you have similar in 38-40ish R and have a few minutes, give me an email shout if you could. Need to up my SC game!

These were from the thrift, not my inventory - but as construction and organization progresses, more surprises unfold!

Managed to get back there today and picked up the remaining seven unlabeled Drake's ties.

You thought THESE designs weren't good?? I love them. The heels are kitchy fun (let 'em know you're a ladies man?) and the Charlie Brown-esque chevron totally rules. Different strokes, though. Very nice, man!
