Nudie Grim Tim from ebay.

 

[mentalchik]

Just reserved this for payday next week...you can't see it but it has split sleeves on the top half is quite a loose fit and has a slight seventies feel about it ! Pic doesn't do it justice

A dress with eyes on it.

Baracuta G9. Wanted one of these for a while now. Forty quid secondhand off Ebay:

 

[ViolentPanda]

Five custom-made (because standard off-the-peg always need altering to fit me properly) cotton twill formal shirts in various colours. French cuffs (just 'cos I love cufflinks) and semi-cutaway collars. My last batch lasted 8 years before I lost weight and they became too big for me. Hoping to get as much service out of these!

Baracuta G9. Wanted one of these for a while now. Forty quid secondhand off Ebay:

Really chuffed with this. It's a very dark blue marl one, not black but I really like it. The photo on Ebay didn't do it justice, really, but that meant there wasn't much bidding. Virtual Blue - I know you were thinking of getting a Harrington. I'd really recommend spending the extra and getting one of these. Well-cut, lovely material, worth paying more. My cheaper one is charity shop bound now.

French cuffs (just 'cos I love cufflinks)

Same here. Nearly all my work shirts are double cuff these days.

Tweed hat from Poland.
This will be my fourth hat of the year - they're great for covering my long hair
I wear these at an angle so I don't look like the twats from Peaky Blinders.

They look great! But the prices when new are a tad OTT.

It's quite a summery jacket no?

I've made a few pairs of cufflinks for myself, one with thruppenny bits from my birthyear, another with sixpences, and a rather nice (in my opinion!) pair made from 2 East German 10 pfennig pieces, with the DDR emblem facing outward. I eagerly await the first "are you some sort of commie?" question, when I wear them in public.

Normally they are. The cotton one's quite light, I think, but my one's wool and has a thermal lining so just right for Autumn. I'm surprised what good nick it's in for the price. Unwanted prezzie perhaps? Whatever the reason I'm very pleased with it all round.

Good work Voley. I have jacket jealousy.

I have a brown wool pendleton that I found on a streetmarket in Durham yesterday:

and this leather trench from Donna Karan, which I liberated from the chazzer:

Both will be key items in my forthcoming Fall '16 rotation, I think.

 

[killer b]

it's not really a trench though is it? what do you call that length of jacket?

 

[krtek a houby]

50% off sale in one of my Brighton haunts last week. Nice, garish shirt for £11. Yes!

Work shoes for running through airports in.

Can't go wrong with a good Harrington and the cut doesn't seem too boxy on the Baracutas. I may invest in one at a later date - quite like the Rusty coloured one.

Looking for a decent winters coat (I have a shit load of jackets but none suited for the cold).

 

[Rebelda]

A top coat. Or even a longer length car coat, can't see how boxy it is.

I hope when I scroll down the rest of this thread I shall see pictures.


e2a. Disappointed. frankly.

 

[such and such]

Bought some dresses from Modcloth

 

[Cloo]

From la Redoute

Black skirt, as I need one to go with some stuff:

Desigual top, as La Redoute had everything at 40% off including Desigual. And it'll go with the skirt Hope it fits, M was smallest size they had and their sizes are usually tiny so it should be better than a small anyway

Work shirt with hidden critters.

 

[Looby]

I ordered 250 quids worth of stuff from Asos and I'm not keeping any of it. [emoji20] I did order my lovely scaramanga bag at last though, it's gorgeous. [emoji4]

 

[pengaleng]
