I really wanted the Remain in Light tee, but that went quick.

They’ve got them in Dover street in London. Was just looking at one.

Ahhhh, they’ve sold out online at DSM, but hadn’t thought about real life retail. Cheers

I got one today at the Wardour St shop, still had some small and medium sizes left. It took some patience though with an absolutely absurd ‘virtual queueing system’ combined with an actual queue to get into the shop…

Are Stussy still small fit
Im not massive & closer to M than L but remember buying a Stussy medium & being tiny

I’m between a small and medium and have had a small Stussy before which is too tight and a medium which is too big. I tried on both in the talking heads ones and bought the small which fitted well (hoping it doesn’t shrink…)

For those who missed the Talking Heads tees, how about consoling yourself with a new order one?

Ha - and I thought stussy was expensive!

Up in Town for a few days and limited time so no time to flounce around, want a big relaxed white shirt (LS) to traipse around in on hols. Used to have a old Margaret Howell one but has fallen to bits and Mrs refuses to let me take it.

Where too these days?

Depends on your budget and style of shirt

Universal Works
Dover St Market (note, not on Dover St any more)
John Simons (for the definitive Oxford)
Liberty

Or if on a budget, then UNIQLO does an okay one

Just invest in another Margaret Howell one, you’ll get the same wear and have the same love for it.

I’m a big fine of the MHL line.

Go on, treat yourself.

You’re right, love that shirt, think I bought it in 95, think I’ve had my monies worth!

Last time I went ‘out’ I wore a Burro shirt with bondage straps that I must have bought in… maybe 2000? It’s definitely older than some of my kids.

This is the case i make to folk who think £300 Japanese jeans are a rip-off. I’ll basically wear them for about 50% of the year for at least 5 years (often far longer), which equates to approx 900 days. Which works out at about 30p per day. Not bad for something exquisitely made that makes you feel good.

I have the same attitude to my clothes (although I wait for sales) and generally a good pair of pants of a great jacket gets proper mileage to justify the cost.
