Here's picture of mine - in full Tender today. Nothing too crazy. I'm one of those 'rare' people on here that probably has too many nice jackets to get any hard wear patterns. It's definitely still one of my favourite items I own though.

If it's any help, I had to size down. I have a size two and I can wear it with light knitwear. I typically wear a size three in most tender tops.

The vest does look different to the original. Different enough for me to justify buying another one [?] hmmmm.....

I just saw the new season has appeared on the website! Love the pictures! Tell us more!! In particular, is the type 900 jacket exactly the same as the original or are there any changes? Also, will we possibly see the coat version as well [915 was it?]?

I just saw some of the new season stuff is slowly making its way onto the website - looks awesome! Love the look book!

@redragon, William will correct me, but I think the crystal is acrylic (not sapphire), so a bit of toothpaste should get rid of any light scratches. Just apply a little bit and rub it with a clean cloth.

Not for everyone but a recent pickup and I love it. I suddenly feel like I could be a one watch guy [not really though...maybe minimum 3]

not sure if this more than a single watch (or a handful at best) - seems to have been a vintage watch with a new dial for some type of raffle/gift at Samurai with an entry on the Samurai blog...easy to google.

That’s as much as I could find as well - the rest of the results seems to be in Japanese.

Today I’m wearing my Timor WWW. It’s not quite a submariner - but definitely one of my favourite watches with some cool history.

So I assumed these were just modded dials but there seems to be some genuine uncertainty about whether they’re legit. Does anyone have info?

@aho don’t worry it’s legit bro...

Some explorer action today

@SLAB it’s the best combination of a high waist/wide leg I’ve been able to find. I love mine.

Here’s a pic of my wide tapered as well. Loving the fit on these. 

Saw these shirts in person yesterday. Love the weight and texture of the fabric and ochre looked superb.

@MJF9 the shirt is tender.

They seem to get a lot of their fabrics from India and work closely with producers both there and Thailand as well. They do a good job of covering it all on Instagram stories. I really like the khaki dye they’ve used for this season, which they’ve apparently worked to produce for some years.

Any love for story mfg? I like a lot of their stuff. I especially like their use of natural dyes and oversized/relaxed fits. 

Just gave these a first wash. They’ve been dyed with natural indigo and the construction is excellent.

These have had their first machine wash and I’m really happy with with the way they fit and look.

@rodeo bill can you say more about the pattern shirts in pictures above? Looks superb. Is it wool?

Seems like the right thread for these, Buddy Lee oversized doll's jeans:

I missed out on these when they released (student at the time). I really like the shirts as well. Wish they’d bring this line back.

wearing my Nomos with pride this week after he gave them a shout out

I was wearing my 703 and felt much better about my choice suddenly

HODINKEE did a great podcast with Phillippe dufour (aka. the watch making legend). It’s quite a candid discussion - something of a rarity in the watch world.

may be of interest to some: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/hodinkee-radio/id1412458259?mt=2&i=1000419289114

@Foxy2 I tried but for some reason I can’t save it with that change in the text. Your jeans look great btw!

@PaulT thanks for helping with the pics.

Here’s my USN shawl neck or deck jumper.

The denim is really nice and crisp at first, then it softens up and becomes even better. Amazing fabric. The little details like the kasuri lined pockets and the fact that it’s all made by hand on old Union machines makes this quite special.

I’m also eyeing up their wabash jacket and the new tapered fit. If anyone has pics of those, I’d love to see them.

[edit: I've tried to add the same html to the pictures below but I can't seem to save the changes for some reason - the links still work though]

@Foxy2 I can’t seem to see the pictures - or is it just me [?]

edit: sorry, seems to be working now.

The best thing about Panerai for me is the choice of straps. My wrist just can’t do the 44-47mm cases - and the smaller ones just don’t look ‘right’ to me. Now if I looked like Stallone, it would be different altogether...

On Hamilton - I really like them. I prefer their khaki designs, especially the non date, over similar priced seikos. Yes it’s part of a bigger conglomerate - but that’s just the reality of the watch buisiness. At least they use their scale to deliver good value to customer (khaki models can be had retail for £250ish), other companies use the same scale to push up margins and pretend they make ‘luxury’. So overall good value I think.
