They sound like they might cost a lot.

The crown is coming loose on my Orient Bambino which is stopping the date function from working properly. I'd like to get it tightened.


I'd wager the the repair will be more than the cost of the watch. Calling it now.

It's what's prompted me to look at getting a yellow raincoat.

I haven't worn a yellow raincoat since I was about eight years old and, as with the child in fxh's photo, I wore it with yellow gumboots.

I think that, if you are only going to wear it on while you are on a boat, you could just - just - get away with a yellow raincoat. Wear it at any other time, though, and you'll probably just look a bit odd.

Can anyone recommend a good dry cleaner in Canberra? Need a suit cleaned and several items pressed. I have little faith in my local Bell's not to ruin them


There is one in Fyshwick that is very good and understands the correct way to press jacket lapels been there a few times. And I've had this one recommended to me Top Cat Dry Cleaners 20 Jardine St Kingston don't know what its like as I've never used them.

God I hate working from home in cold weather.

..I'm not sure how, but I had forgotten about that. The green breast wallet more famous than the blue raincoat.

This is probably the best menswear blog post I've seen in a long, long time.

All I see are them White Male Colonialist Occupiers!


Yes, especially the part about duffle coats. I'm inspired to wear mine now :)


I don't know why, but duffle coats always appear a little feminine... actually I think I know why - I've seen them on lots of young Japanese Hello Kitty school girls.

I think Victoria's Secret also does a yellow raincoat
