There's yellow and yellow. You need to be careful depending on your skin tone. Combined with fluorescent lights it can make you look like Chet Baker with Hep C on a bad day with no hope of scoring. Ecru is best.

^he speaks the truth on skin tone there. I have an unwavering hate of cream shirts, they wash most people out awfully but have fond memories of a more yellow but still subtle Ganton shirt (when they were made in Australia) about 10 years ago. Navy is the right colour to wear them with them

Do pale yellow shirts get much love? Saw this hit Kamakura stock and I've taken a real shine to it.

Looks like a Charvet shirt that I used to have. I used to wear it with a navy, herringbone weave suit or with a navy odd jacket and grey trousers (surprise, surprise). It's an unusual shade but can work very well.

I hear you, but I really like off whites.

I think they suit olive complexions more?

Matt - can you let us know when the first whale appears explodes?

I must admit I'm besotted by it. Its how I imagined paisley in my dreams. I've only got a small bit atm 10"x 28" but I think I'll buy the whole lot. Make sheets or pillow cases.

Beautiful colours and fabrics. Compliments. Can I buy some off you?

Chet certainly had bad days, most likely had Hep C, but I doubt he ever had trouble scoring.

In other news, your correspondent kopped a very noice Hackett waistcoat in coarse windowpane tweed from DJs today. Full price, but not overly expensive. Meticulous inspection of all labels failed to clarify country of manufacture, therefore it was Made In China. That's ok, so was wifey.

Nobody gets laid in bedsheets like that.

Does anyone know if Herringbone stocks any ties besides the ones they have online? I'm after a red textured weave/grenadine.

 

[thebrownman]

You know a lot about getting laid?

Well friends tell me

Has anyone here tried waxing a cotton jacket?

 

[Liber]

No, but I've waxed my gooch. Waxing cotton would be easier, but it won't look as good.

Updated with my own pictures.

Someone should grab it for this winter, much too nice to be sitting around in my closet.





Also, if anyone is a 9.5 in Loakes, I have some of these to sell cheaply (not my photo - mine are slightly used)

That's cool ... beautiful colors. Even though my favorite remains the shoes. They have a very unique color. But are they really so in reality? Fantastic.

C'mon, who said what.

Checky had a deep and meaningful with a gigantic dude who rocked up in head-to-toe leather who then proceeded to berate him for being non-conformist by pairing brown shoes with a blue suit. For some reason, sundry SFers in the vicinity all found other conversations more fascinating and left Checky to defend the SF-approved POV as expressed above, a situation that he was somewhat discomfited by, and about which he later expressed a degree of embitteredness. Nevertheless, said leather-wearing chap (a Professor, I am led to believe) was desirous of continuing sartorial discussions with Checky, pressed his phone number on our colleague and requested the same from Checky, who obliged (or at least gave him part of it).

This is a pretty accurate representtion of what I did when I got home after Pinky dropped me off:

Thanks again @ssholes for the help with that!

Was he really that bad? Condolences.
