@yung_flynn is that the new kamakura BD with the longer collar roll?

CPO recommendations? Not looking to spend Ironheart ££ . Was thinking Burgus Plus but the collars in some pictures look a bit 1970s... https://hinoya.shop/en-gb/collections/burgus-plus/products/bp23902?variant=44364556271851 Never really looked at Pike Brothers but the 1943 versions look OK, any experience? https://www.pikebrothers.com/en/1943-CPO-Shirt-black-wool/P0401-15-0011-M https://www.pikebrothers.com/en/1943-CPO-Shirt-navy-wool/P0401-21-0027-M Buzz an obvious choice, any others that don't break the bank?

Even if not buying the RMC store is worth checking out, great looking store and a massive range on display

I have the 3sixteen T3. Nice details, hand warmer pockets and cord lined cuffs. Modern fit but dies run very slim.

I don't own it but have always had my eye on the UES type 3.

What did you get through the thigh knee hem?

Their newer version of the Slim 50s is a great cut. If the lee repro is near them will be great for me

Interested in seeing what the shrinkage is like in the 224.

I've looked (online) at JMW and although the lasts look great but I always think they look ...cheap? I don't know why.

UK site seems normal

I don't think I can really recall such obvious details that would distinguish areas so clearly. Sure the Northwest/Manchester areas had a "look" and London would be similar but usually better dressed, due to access to shops, than most in my younger days but no clear identification like yours.

We still have to say 'sausages ' as above in dog voice in our house every time they are cooked.

Brief on point observations on the aforementioned posts.. Like Neal, looking back my style hasnt changed that much, other than when mind altering substances increased my desire for Hem width to 20 inches.... MA1 have featured at more than one point in my fashion past as have jeans and DMs ... I have 4 pairs of DMs in rotation now, 3 MiE and a pair of Chelsea boots for mud/rain stomping. 501 in blue and black (DMC and Beastie Boys influence vs Nick Kamen dropping his kegs in public...) and black wranglers ( as in Public Enemy: black wranglers = rap stranglers....) I also had the split hood version mentioned earlier , god they were all the rage!! Seemed to last thru the hip hop days into the dance era IIRC. Talk of B3 flying jackets in the other thread, I recall either me or one of my mates buying an absolutely battered one of a much older kid who was much cooler than us as we entered into acid house days...can't remember who actually owned it first but at one stage I think each of the friend group owned it at one point as we flogged it to each other. Each failing miserably to look as cool in it as the original (probably already 5th hand by then) owner. A photo of a young me wearing it does exist I'll try and locate it. I do clearly recall it meeting its demise while I was wearing it during a very poorly executed attempt to urban surf on the running boards of a suzuki vitara which ended badly.....but that's another story...

If you want an Oxford you can tuck Kamakura have a nice range. Beams Plus Oxfords are also nice and don't have to be tucked

Safe trip

I'm living through you.... Be a while before I make a trip back. Enjoy!

@peter1 there is a sale thread Here

Opposite Fullcount? @reallypeacedoff

You've let yourself down

I have mental images of you hiding in the cellar secretly eating cheeses while sobbing softly.... Why was it down there in the first place

This thread is 8 years old WTF! Where has that time gone.

👍

Weird as in of the wide range of length options , they don't actually measure near the length stated. Given the further shrinkage to get my desired length; @ 29-30 nches, I actually should order 33 then!

So looking at Bears charts, Resolutes 31 inch inseam actually measures 29.5!? (Weird from a brand that markets the variety of options available) Given I usually Hem to 29.5 - 30 anyway... can I expect further shrinkage??
