    The What Are You Wearing Today (WAYWT) Discussion Thread, Part II

    Still lurking - might start posting again, although other interests keep me busy and lockdown and shifting to working from home probably dulled my interest in clothes.

    Iroshizuku can be picked up at more reasonable prices from Japanese based Amazon/ebay sellers (or via Zenmarket), although prices and availability seem to vary by colour. Just run of the mill Birthday/Christmas cards you pick up in a card/gift shop - some work really well, many are adequate but...

    Iroshizuku are wonderful inks, Sailor are excellent too (never really got on with their pens), and Diamine are good and great value. I have more inks than I know what do do with. Stationary is an interesting area, plenty of good writing papers, but I'm increasingly finding greetings cards are...

    Modern pens wise Pilot are great, the Capless is a nice robust pen that writes beautifully as a change to the classics. For those that like a heavy robust minimalist pen I highly recommend Namisu - https://www.namisu.com/ standard Bock nibs so you can get a nib that suits you.

    John Smedley is generally available for less from retailers rather than their website, and is almost always hugely discounted at the end of the season on their own outlet if you're not in a hurry: https://www.johnsmedleyoutlet.com/

    Yes I was 6 when it hit the cinemas, and it's still my favourite. ESB might be a better film in some ways, but not as fun or groundbreaking. ROTJ is mixed - great in parts, but another Death Star... Rogue One - flawed but basically a good film. Solo enjoyable popcorn film, that almost captured...

    In my limited experience construction quality seemed similar, but leather quality was better. Softer, thicker and creasing was better.

    I blame @LA Guy - although this more of (Style)Farmer's Knife than a pedicure set.

    DIY with clippers - longest grade on top, shorter on sides and back. Not perfect, but doesn't look too bad for streamed meetings...

    As with most things there's the law of diminishing returns - Loake's 1880 range are about half the price of the C&J and still a decent well-made shoe - I wouldn't say the C&Js are twice as good as the Loakes, but they do tend to use nicer leather and are slightly better attention to detail. I...

    I think the tests have shown up to 3hrs in air, 24hrs on cardboard and 2-3 days on plastic/metals (bar copper where it doesn't survive long). Clothing is predicted to dessicate the virus relatively quickly, but studies haven't been exhaustive.

    True, and even within 'ranges' of any maker there can be significant variation between two pairs. Personal preference plays a big part two.
