for anyone on the hunt for a pair of desert boots I whole heartedly reccomend Astorflex.

the quality of leather and crepe sole they use is much better than Clark's originals. and they're also slighty less expensive. made in Italy, italian leathers.

here some infos in English

Couple extra iPhone pics from today

It's hard to come after paolo...

Here's where I am at the moment..

here's another serious contender.. now I really want to see an update from Jared Lee (where are you?!?). His pair was just every bit as promising as ah long's and pault's.

despite all the hard wear I can put into my pair I have to face the fact the jeans are so loose fitting on me that I'll never get that kind of defined whiskers. my waist is just too big compared to my thighs.

oh well, fuck it! I'll keep it going and we all see at the end of the journey!

F*****g hell Paolo your pair is already glorious, I'd vote for you if contest would end now. How many washes so far?

I'll get up some pics of my seaside village for a comparo! Not even pics of the local shipyard construction site will approach the remarkable level of bleakness of your seaside uk villages! UK wins this time haha!!!

Sounds like a good idea then! Bear in mind that TCB wil send the parcel as a sample if you ask, so no custom duties!

I have a Sauce Zhan chambray shirt and it's great from every point of view, fabric, cut and workmanship. I'd go with TCB though if you're on the hunt for a type II!

I foresee greatness there HC boy!

some friendly sufu faces made it again into the TCB blog!

^ thanks mate I'm sure your TCB's will turn just as good as mine. As for the telnyashka I've four of them in different colours and sleeve lenghts, they're great!

Yeah only after taking most of the pics I noticed the lens cover was dead dirty haha!

Hi guys, today the TCB's and I were in Verona for work and we were lucky enough to have some time to kill in one of the raddest places in the country!

We started off with a great meal and great wines with some Veronese friends.

Risotto all'Amarone

Great selection of salami and prosciutto

Ripasso and Amarone were great, wines from Valpolicella are up there in my favorites

that man has good taste ahah!

7 hatches from 240 wagons between 1990 and 1993 and one hatch of a 245 between 1981 and 1989. we only miss you doing the hip hop pose in front of it!

nice, it looks great with the stripey shirt underneath.

mmh must get one of these too, sooner or later..

hi all

 

here's a couple pics from the last few days, to keep the thread rolling!

two of my new flutes finally arrived after months and months. I am so happy with them, they're much better than the stolen ones. these are made out of cocuswood, the best timber ever for period flutes. Unfortunately the cocuswood is now almost extint. these were made out of a cocus stock that has been seasoning for 120 years at least. the guy who made them inherited the stock from an old flute maker in Paris.

beautiful Eltz castle, which i visited on a morning off

 

 

 

me and one of my mates killing time between 1st and 2nd half. wearing the porky's 66 here. the TCB, at least on a size 36, are way too wide to look good with a pair of brogues.

I'm going for the duck cloth @goodrain !

Thank you Rano. It's just normal nothing outstanding like Aho's though.

Greetings from Ingolstadt Germany. Here's a fine sample of Teutonic engineering, while we wait for Bobbo!

Just got a message from Inoue San that my vest ordered some three months ago is ready!

Just a matter of weeks and I'll sport a full three piece TCB suit!

I love Saab's as well, early saab 900's are class!
