No problem Kit, as I’m trying to look at life through rose-tinted spectacles right now, those socks look distinctly pink to me!

Lads, sorry for offtopicing but would anyone recommend me a good brand polo shirt?

I saw HH look cool but don’t know if “everyone” is wearing them. I don’t want the Fred Perry or Lacoste or RL type of brand

Comme Des Garçons Play make a good quality polo shirt (aside from the logo) they keep their shape well with washing. I had a black with a stealthy black small heart logo.

Lacoste are too thick for the summer

UES and Samurai both are at least as thick as Lacoste, so not for you.

Or le Coq sportif

[Duodequinquagesimus]

It’s so hard buying online when you don’t know the brand and fit because the fit is ALL for me. 

But I risked it and just got the Goruck one because it is rugged resistant and looks good.

Le Coq / Le shark or lacoste..  all sound more.........chic when said in a brummie accent @unders

[Geeman]

I have one. It's great, but it's synthetic.

Some of you may remember that when I started posting in this thread I had lost weight and had a number of pairs that would be getting their first wears as a result. The ultimate goal of all that was to eventually fit into a pair of Iron Hearts that I've had sitting around for years. As of today, I have that pair on and am starting to break them. This means that I have now lost enough weight to fit into every pair I have bought since I started wearing raw/selvedge denim (and had to put some lesser pairs on the shelf for being too big), and that is a big milestone for me. Unfortunately it has gotten warm here which is limiting my jeans wearing, but now I'm switching over to "wear them until worn out" mode. So:

Champion

Iron Heart 888-NT (which I got through the IH preorder in 2017 I guess)

Birkenstocks

@volvo240thebest How'd you find the sizing on those excelsiors? Want to pick up a pair myself.

they fit about 1/2 size bigger than Chucks
I wear a 44 in Chucks and got a 44 in these too. I am fine with them a bit bigger, so no big deal anyway.

Agree with Bartleby.

Was the pullover bought worn/washed, or have you put that in yourself? Either way, looks great.
