Try flannel pants. I also feel that oxford cloth wears warmer than poplin or twill. Get an overcoat, that CT one didn't look that special. A Barbour would work and keep you dry from the rain. An M65 or a peacoat would also work.

I'd be thinking cotton suit in your situation. I have a really versatile MJ Bale cotton suit and I've also seen some really nice PJ and Suit Shop options. Cotton suits are versatile in that they can easily be worn as trousers or sports coat without having that orphan look that wool suit separates have.

Stunned to see this in an op shop today. Will fit me very nicely with the sleeves shortened.

On ebay I found these interesting lace up RMW boots for sale. Have never seen this model before, they're 1.5-2 sizes too small for me to consider anyway. Any elderly/experienced denizens here seen this make before?

Purchased this last weekend. My 7th briefcase, but this really fits my needs. On sale paid 1.2k.

For overcoats, try Voi in the conservative business dress.

Melbournians an exhibiton of the strange, exocit and outright sartorially weird Daviid Bowe Heroes at mossgreen gallery from 17/6-30/7. Seriously thinkinng of one as a house warming gift for our new abode.

Also the Herman Miler Aeron or Mirra views opinions sought.

Has anyone ever used leather dye to change the colour of their shoes?

If so, what did you use?

How did it go?

If getting the Aeron I'd recommend the chrome version. Looks much nicer than the black non-chrome version (though it is a fair bit dearer). I love mine.

Have, Feibings, reasonably well. Just make sure to condition/replenish the leather between coats, otherwise the stripping and dying process can be very drying.

Oh, and as with most finishes, many light layers give better results than few heavy.
