Killing time at an airport so...

unusual lining on a Thomas Pink harrington, maybe feels more a 'golf jacket'

Waxed cotton feeling green MA1 in John Lewis

The waxed Cotton (style) MA-1 is quite good. I saw a cheap one (waxed) in MrK favorite shop (Primark) :D last time i was in London (Before the meet up), not bad really for ten quids (or was it fifteen).
MA-1 are back in fashion here for three years. I am still thinking of buying one, but i've got a problem with sizing, as they are doing a lot of models now in a lot of different brands, the fits are all different... Either i find one with a good fit but wrong color and detailing, either i find a good one but not in my size... And i dont wanna buy a used/vintage one, as the cuffs, collar, and waistband dont age well. It has been the occasion of recent discussions with two MA-1 conoisseurs/posters from this thread...

I think I'm going off my MA1 after three years! I'll wait to see what happens when the weather changes.

I came across Feastupon wholesale shoes online,they have a range of Barker shoes including the Nairn (plain) and the Grassington (brogue ) for £62 and £64.
Now as I cant find either style for less than £265 anywhere else whats the catch ?

The last few weeks have been very humid here and the Madras shirts that I bought from Lands End have been ideal, they are sold out in large now but I hope they keep the same style collar next year and I will get another one.

Do we have any clearer idea about the meetup in November? I'm also asking because Donkey Jacket is planning to come from up north, and if he doesn't make travel arrangements soon train tickets might get too expensive.

I'm happy to help organising if needed.

Cheers!


Edit: I don't quite remember what dates have been suggested, but how's the weekend starting Fri 11 Nov or Fri 18th Nov for everybody?

We didn't really settle anything when we met in July. I got the feeling it may be too soon for some. I should be ok on Friday the 18th.

Did you want to put a similar post on M to S and see what response we get? I know @Aces and Eights is up for it and @Inks I think.

Last time in November we met at the Metropolitan at Baker Street station and went to John Simons afterwards.

I won't be able to make it, but will gladly come down (up?) next summer.
