Will defo check them for sure, thanks

Chup over Anonymous ism for me. Both are great. Was a sample sale just before xmas, where they were knocking them out for £10

Would also recommend Rostersox and RoToTo too

Have been on Kamakura shirts for the last six months or so - broadcloth and some oxford for work, linen, chambray and oxford for real life (and t-shirts). Got my size right on the first go and have done three separate orders since then - consistent fit.

Anyone have any decent blogs worth checking for all things clobber related?

There seems to be a lack of decent non-hype references nowadays, but here are two of the ones I keep an eye on:

Always get excellent service from Kafka and the patrons scheme is handy too. Fast delivery, helped in part by us living not too far away from it…which is nice

I think Kafka and The Bureau are probably the two sites I check the most.

How tall are you? These intrigued me. Although very expensive, good shirts are extremely hard to find so many times worth it, but I’m a tall guy, and wide-ish, and that’s why usually japanese fashion & I don’t make the best combination.

Currently coveting a pair of these but baulking at the price tag. Beautiful pair of boots mind.

Those are belters.

Norse Projects is a favourite for me. I’m pretty big/tall so the Scandi sizes are a good fit.

Also got some nice bits from Adsum and Corridor recently.

Love the Japanese brands but they just never seem to fit me.

no offensive but i would laugh at them- they are pretty gross- but what do i know!

I have done all the quality testing for you with this store. Have many items for over 2 years with lots of wear, very impressed with the quality. Vintage military copies and workwear. Many items are on limited runs. Denim both loomspun on vintage rigs and regular, good selection. https://bronsonshop.com

I had a pair of thick pyjama like material ones about 20 years ago. Comfiest trousers I’ve ever had

No offence taken. The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things, eh?

Not a great day in the sock world for me today.
I occasional treat myself to a pair of Burlington socks.
I bought a new pair a few weeks ago, Ive wore them twice, probably walked about 5 miles in them max and they have a fucking hole in already (insert angry face).
Not good for a £14 pair of socks.

I’m just under 6". Weigh about 85kg. Have long arms/legs but a short torso. All of the ones I’ve bought are size “41-89” and fit spot-on.

My main lockdown clothes purchase has been a proper pair of Palladium boots (I only had the Office rip-offs back in the early 90s). I can now kid myself I was a proper member of the Balearic Network™, and not a scruffy indie-kid going to the Camden Palace on a Tuesday

Gone a bit nuts this week and bought a few tasty items. Ripstop Kapital hospital jacket, Post Overalls Engineers in wool (eBay - total bargain), a handful of Velva Sheens for summer and some Oliver Peoples sunnies.

On the bones of my arse as a result.
