@reubensangwich How do you like the Colimbo jacket? Those have always been really appealing

It's one of my favorite jackets that I own, sturdy construction and beautiful fabrics, the knit cuffs are crazy soft and very comfortable against the skin, the shell is a nice thick grosgrain. I don't love a leather jacket but I adore the A2 design, so this was an easy pickup when I saw it was cotton. The only thing is the shoulders have a healthy slope to them, so if you've got flat shoulders maybe size up.

That is a really nice jacket @reubensangwich, I think Colimbo is a criminally underrated brand.
Also I just saw that Buzz Rickson released a similar cloth A-2 recently, I dig the design.

From my collection of “probably not for everyone” jackets - this is one of my favorites but I seldom wear it because I find Hawaii denim to be a tough middle-ish shade of blue. My WMJ are finally light enough it’s not too clashy for me.

@Broark Colimbo is definitely underrated, I think they strike a great balance between their military and outdoor influences, their garments usually never look too repro or costume-y. That Buzz jacket looks sweet as well, seems like it's a bit longer in the body and sleeves so it should be suited for a taller fellow

Indigo and Blue Layering

Always trying to wear more color but not today. 

Today has the blues (even if I don't).

Denim overshirt has a lining but is still roomy enough to wear over a flannel or sweater but it was TOO warm.

What did Wales bring to the table in this collab?

I'll guess at absolutely nothing..

Slapped her name on the side +£150 price hike.. am i wrong? 

No idea what she brought!! But they're fucking ace

I got them for £190 last December in a 'sale' - bargain eh! Superstar prices vary... decent versions of the same basic trainer model can be what £90 to £130. So there's a uptick on these of around £60 to £100.  I love 'em so I'm happy - faux croc tick, funny exaggerated stitching around the heel tick, upgraded materials for more comfortable wearing tick, nice laces with a really nice spare blue pair tick... I'm a sucker for a nice pair of shell toes

Whilst we're at it, I bought some Adidas Jabber Hi recently.  I was taken by Lightening mag pic of some re-issued Jabber Hi with light blue stripes.  So I went on a hunt.  Vintage were OTT and trashed. Then I found some in Japan, re-issues.  They would have been iirc £180 plus shipping.  Non of the sellers would post with low value.  Then I found a pair in Slam Jam (Italy) but with black stripes... but for £38 in the sale, iirc £50 shipped.  Black stripes for £50 or light blue same shoe for £250ish.  I went black, got the dopamine hit and forgot the light blue... until now...  

[Double 0 Soul]

Hmm bargain? .. albeit, cheaper than what i was expecting

 

I've got a mediocre £400 BMX for sale with a Supreme sticker on it for £2000 if you're interested? i'll take some photos with my Leica M6 x Moncler edition .. just let me pull on my Gucci x North Face jacket and Balenciaga x Crocs..

 

A couple of months ago the Stussy A/W 1st drop landed and i bought my kid £800 of goodies to see him through the colder months.. (for £800 he got a waffle thermal, a fleece lined jacket, a pigment dyed sweat, a pig dyed hoodie and a pig dyed zip-hoodie) exactly 1wk later the Wales Bonner x Stussy drop landed at 10am.. at 10.10am he txt me saying.. "Dad can i have a Wales polo shirt please? .. it was £315 (i assumed he'd been sniffing TipEx) for what was in effect a very standard £80 Stussy polo with Wales Bonner branding.. i had to sit him down and explain the concept of the 'cash grab x bullshit collab'..

[MJF9]

The trainers are defo an uplift in quality - the extra cost - yeah I'm good with it as I like them.  Your lad's uptick is OTT for sure.

The other day someone mentioned Prada beanies are £450.  Ye what.  A beanie for £450. Now that is having a laugh.  

[Maynard Friedman]

Here’s a Wales polo shirt - £14.99 on Amazon

[Double 0 Soul]

I just fail to see how slapping the name of a fashion designer on the side of a stone cold classic can justify a price increase?

 

[MJF9]

With the trainers, I didn't even know her name was on the side - it was the moc croc, heel stitching, luxury upgrade and nice blue stripes that lured me

Overall, yep it's all a bit mad out there in fashion land

Back to that Prada beanie - ahem I stand corrected it's £490... move quickly lads it's nearly sold out

[ATWM]

^ and it's not even a pure wool one!

My Inis Meain beanies were the most I'd ever spent on hats, but they are merino and cashmere and amazing. Also on sale about $80. Which felt nuts for a beanie til I felt one.

Selfie. Only use that word to make fun of people. I strictly do it for our little group here, to see if I fit in and for you to get inspired. My boy does it too, he even build a cool little device from LEGO. Good thing we invested thousands of euros in his Lego hobby.

when I take pictures at work my phone balances behind some painters tape on a shoe box. At home I take it to a next level.

the outfits stay a variation on the theme.

Would you mind sharing your size and and height for the n-1 ?

If been searching for a new winter jacket, probably gonna be a deck jacket, don't know which manufacturer yet tho, maybe some of you who own a N-1 can give some inputs.

Uniqlo, Folk, LVC 55, Docs

@SLAYER 183cm / 6ft wearing a FW size 44. That was the biggest size when I got this but I think they do 46 now. It's a great jacket imo for cold weather, albeit a heavy one which is good with me... though there might be a particular Sufu regular who has a strong opinion on walking around in heavy military jackets, but don't let him put you off if - or when - he pops up

I was at an event called West Coast Ragtime Festival this weekend. I think it's been about 25 years I've been on their bill of performers, most of whom are pianists. These range from youth performers to players in their 80s. I don't know if any of our British members would remember Neville Dickey who did some playing for the BBC and could be heard frequently on the radio when I was a kid. I thought he was 85 but someone told me 88. He's still an amazing player and I'm lucky enough to get to play duets with him.

It's a dress-up kind of scene and some folks wear full-on Victorian through Edwardian attire. Here's something I put together. I was on the fence about adding the hat but I did end up wearing it.
Vintage Royal Stetson, MF cravat, Lofgren shirt, FW jacket, AtLast pants, Paraboot.
