    Any one here going to be scrumming to get Cromps to sign something?

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Yeah that's exactly it. Though honestly I think the dark brown is easier to style. I thought the rust one was far more running the risk of seeming oddly functional, like a dad on the school run, which is funny because i'd have said the opposite a few years ago. I used to see it as an item that...

    Controversial opinion: Suede chore isn't actually that nice! I used to love it and when it first came out it was quite stunning. Obviously material is beautiful, but in the last 5 years chore coats have become so ubiquitous that it doesn't seem quite so striking anymore to me! It seems like a...

    As for the Crompmeisters latest post, what do we all think? A noble pursuit? Or an epiphany and post holiday guilt about his readerships spending habits? I have personally commissioned a new jacket for the new year and find that saving for/enjoying the process of a MTM jacket actually restricts...

    What an odd response! Not sure on what basis you could assert something like that, but no, I am British and have lived here my whole life and this is the only time in my entire life I've been prompted to defend that! Just because you put 'nobody' in capitals whilst repeating what you've said...

    Yes, they do and no, I’m not. East Asian and South Asian are not the loony lefty PC Brigade gone mad and forcing it down your throat. They’re geographical realities.

    Correct - put photos of yourself online and you will get comments, some of them from rude and ignorant people. Congratulations, on deciding to be one of those people! East Asia and South Asia. Both technically Asian. We just had a lot of immigration from India and Pakistan during the early...

    Definitely see how he’s used his personal styling to broaden appeal of the Brycelands look. I was completely ready to love Bryceland’s. Yet I’ve found much of what they do to be costumey and I think similarly, I find Ethan’s looks very costumey. Always a few too many things on them competing for...

    As a London based Englishman married to a British East Asian woman I have to disagree. I think the term oriental is now widely regarded as pejorative. Perhaps far less so than other slurs. However, it is definitely Eurocentric, reductive and rooted in a colonial understanding of a huge part of...

    Term oriental is - being as generous as possible - incredibly old fashioned. Being less generous it is actually quite insulting, rooted in colonialism and is basically quite reductive. Where exactly is the orient anyway? But hey, I suspect you’re not one to care about that! Just because...

    An ‘oriental version.’ Yuck. Please tell me you’re over the age of 80. And calling out Ethan Newton - who admittedly dresses in a pretty ludicrous way - for being overweight. Come on, dude. Pretty much everything about what you’ve written here is gross and unpleasant.

    There is an unholy amount of goodwill and decency in this thread! I thought it was created with the express intention of slating permanent style!

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Personally didn't love it! To me had the air of a brand running out of ideas, compared to some of the look books from a couple of years ago. Some of the individual pieces felt to me like the unfinished ideas you'd find at a sample sale. Also the pricing has now become so deranged that I don't...

    Please can we try and avoid the rude language, Gimpwiz. It isn't very helpful and also, if you think about it, isn't particularly interesting. Let's try and raise the level of our discourse. You know, like they do on Permanent Style.
