I got the dark blue ones. If they work out I'll probably kop orange, green and maybe even cranberry too!

Got the tweed hacking coat I love and wear at least twice a week, recently. It's awesome. Right now there's 2 more in gray/black on the bay but they are single vented so I passed.

RL is nice, I pretty much grew up with it because my parents/grandparents would buy it all for me in the late 90s. These days I have maybe 4 RL pieces, a few RRL shirts and some random Rugby things. My only complaint is the outlet stores. I have a polo from their website and one from their outlet store. The outlet one feels like sandpaper. Don't really like their polos anyways (only own those 2), the tail on the back is ridiculous.

Scored a winter white hand-knit cable sweater, and a pink stripe contrast collar shirt NWT for $10. Woohoo!

Now here's some love. Speaking of corduroys. I bought these fabulous ones: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=370249542437 (scroll down for pictures) Then I had them tailored for a very narrow ending of the legs.

I know, pleats (even double pleats in this case) are hated in the modern world - but I love them. These pants are just so cool, so relaxed. And the fact that I enjoy them greatly makes me look good in them. As much as people say "that's a pair of grandpa's pants", as little do I care.

I was thinking about the Andrew pants but I don't like the Andrew shirt, the flat fronted Italian ones just look so much nicer in pics (and the colors offered). Hopefully they fit.

Thanks for the kind words!

I actually started thinking about how RL is one of the few brands that you can be dressed head to toe in, look good and have it all be high quality garments. You can even get stuff for the house including paint! Amazing!

I agree with this. Every now and then I find myself dressed totally in RL for casual wear. Good stuff.
