Kinda been into Japanese socks lately - these two brands in particular. Lovely styles and well-made:

Been eyeing these up since they dropped a few weeks ago. Might have to press the button tomorrow. So nice in the flesh.

Was in an H&M yesterday and had a look at the jacket, heavier than I imagined it would be, didn’t get one, not really my style but picked a white ‘Chicago’ T Shirt up.

Hate clothes shopping, always have done (possibly throwback to being marched into C&A a couple of times a year as a kid) and, as anybody who has ever met me will confirm, I have the general appearance of someone who sleeps in a wheelie bin.
My wife though is regularly on at me to wear nicer things, and to stop living in sweatshirts and t-shirts.
Will give a big shout to this shop in Stoke Newington. Little bit pricy, but well made and designed stuff that isn’t high fashion or right on trend (so you can wear it for years, thus eliminating the need to keep subjecting yourself to clothes shopping). Nice people owning it/working there who don’t look down at me and seem genuinely pleased that I choose to spend money with them.

Ohh they look nice. Am back in the office more now so bought a couple of their military chinos in the sales. Really nice cut. Quite roomy in
the thigh with a slight taper. Uniworks have definitely uped their game in the last few years.
Last purchase has been a drakes button down in their archive sale. For spring/ summer time. Can’t get enough of their shirts.

Stocking some solid brands there.
Yeah, I think the last couple of seasons at UW have been their best in a long, long time.
That shirt is lovely too mate. Am also popping into John Simons tomorrow for a new button down. Got to love the roll on the collar. Might see if Drakes have anything too.

I rate these as well. Collar is a nice size. Shop in leeds called All blues co stock em but tend to sell out pretty quickly.

A new clobber tale of woe in three parts.
First wear of some new Chinos. Wings night, Buffalo sauce splash on thigh of Chinos.
Week after. Same Wings night. New Gramici pants first wear. Splash of Soy/Sesame sauce on thigh.
Last night. At home. New Carhartt sweatshirt. Splash of Ceasar salad dressing on chest.
FML. I need a bib

I only seem to get stains on clothes that are brand new or light coloured. More clumsy than the kids which is quite an achievement

Nearly every piece of new clothing I buy will get food on it within the first couple times wearing it- food seems to fly towards it from all directions. Old clothes seem to repel food! Or maybe I should stop eating food on the sofa

Ordered a pair of 11. Usually a 10.5 but sometimes an 11 depending on manufacturer.
Waaaaay too big, more like a 12. Other sizes out of stock sad face
Anyone used this platform for buying (or selling) clothes?
Found a pair of Battenwear ripstop pants for £90 which claim to be unworn with label still attached.
It has some pretty good stuff on it and I’m all for sustainability.
From memory it’s the guys who used to have Superdenim, never have anything in my size but have mates who have bought stuff.
