That sweater is amazing.

Getting a little cooler now, so I can finally wear a jacket... TFH | Bronson | Tender | Dayton's

Yes, exactly. Oscar last derby's in green cordovan. I had them re-soled by Dr. Sole though, including a new natural storm welt. Originally, I had them built with Rendenbach sole and metal toe caps (which I detested). The leather and build quality of the shoe is impressive. And I love the green cordovan, ages so well. I just wish Carmina didn't have such tiny eyelets for laces. Practically need to use dental floss...

I love the explorer. Is that a 39 or 36? I'd still love to get a nice 39mm OP black dial.

Thanks Lee. They're 129s - unborn.

Ha ha! Thanks @unders.

I use progressive lenses (trifocals) and have used Nikon and Shamir (an Israeli optics company). Both are great. My latest prescriptions were all Nikon and I'm really happy with them.

I would be very interested in seeing that Dukes belt in more detail... . You going to share it?

That makes sense, but Japan is officially closed to both the US and Canada so still a little bit odd. But obviously it'll change eventually.

Japan still won't ship EMS to Canada due to Covid, which I don't get at all. Our vaccination rates are the highest in the world and the Covid situation here is relatively stable compared to the skyrocketing 4th wave in the US. It's frustrating. One vendor used surface to ship a UES flannel to me. Took 6 weeks. Most stores that ship are using UPS or DHL. Both have been very fast.

Oh I wish I could find a pair of those A01's.... Someday.
