I have to say I'm loving the winter: the fog is gorgeous, the icy mornings with the sun out it just glitters. Love riding/driving to work and seeing the sun rise hit the hills near Kambah: perfect.

Everyone at work says it's a mild winter, though!

Finally raining in Sydney tonight if anyone's interested...

Re slippers. The Minnetonkas I bought at the HNL outlet store in Waipahu for USD20 are holding up well in Sydney this winter.

Just came back tonight to a balmy Sydney after a two day trip to Melbourne that began as a work thing with a breakfast view of:

and finished with an order of:

with Calder Sartoria. Can't wait for the finished product - a two piece Spalla Camicia special in Chocolate (with grey flecks - the pic does not do the fabric justice)

I blame you @sebastian mcfox and @Gerry Nelson for such fine examples of workmanship which made me do it in the first place!

BTW Melbourne - WTF with the freezing sub-zero temps? Lucky I brought the overcoat!
Till next time and hopefully my fitting.....much love B.

hi guys

i am suspecting that my zenith is failing on me, i.e. it doesn't seem to b winding properly while wearing on wrist. Its also no longer under warranty.

it looks like there's no longer a LVMH physical service center in melbourne, it has to be done via post (which i am skeptical of). Alternatively, they did point me to Monards.

Apart from the two options, any other suggestions?

Try Michael Presser, you'll have a 6-8 week wait. He is very good. Failing Michael, I do know another chap but he currently has a 6 month backlog and is not taking new clients ATM.

Has any body used mytailor.com for shirts and trousers? Ive been using Luxire, but looking to see what else is available. Whats been your experiences, what do you think of their fabrics? If you've got any other suggestions let me know.

anyone ordered polos and/or rugbys from kent wang?

i'm 190cm and around 90kg so not rake thin, the website says the cut is very slim. will ordering an xxl be okay?

if not, any other options with similar quality high collars on a polo.

I did take their advice on sizing up (from small to medium) and the fit is excellent but then I'm 178cm and 65kg so I don't know how applicable my experience is. You can email them.

I'm 179, 70KG, and I used to wear small polos from KW.

Unless the pattern has changed from 2013, then they're not cut overly slim, but they do fit well. I hazard a guess that they're only considered slim because polos these days sold everywhere are baggy with terrible collars, and oversized IT workers wearing ill fitting stretched polos with a mountain dew stain are the first thing that comes to mind when mentioned.
