Dreamcars... *sighs*
Dear Loungers. The Norwegian winter is a somewhat brutal affair. And the dreaded mixture of salt and snow, does not only mean death for a nice pair of shoes, but also for Vintage Cars... Our purse is not exactly overflowing with cash, but we did manage to purchase a -62 Volvo Duett, which we...- Woland

Ravis Tailor, revisited.
Dear Friends. Some of you might remember this thread, where i posted my first attempt on M&M tailoring. The result was ok, but the trousers were frankly terrible... Met again with the representative from Ravis Tailor; Mr. Jeswani, the last time he came to Oslo. Explained my predicament...- Woland

The Wing Tipped Collar, help needed.
Dear Loungers. I am making yet another attempt to get a wing-tipped bespoke shirt ala' 30s - 40s made for me. My last attempt resulted in to slight a curve on the outer part of the wing, and far to much spread between the wings. Looked kinda 70s... (The Horror, the horror!) This time I have...- Woland

New Blade Runner Movie NOT a remake!
Brian Eno for one... Should've made the score for the original Blade Runner as well, IMO. I find the Vangelis score both shallow and unbearably pompous. Nearly as disgusting as the force-fed voice-over in the original version. Thank heavens for the Directors Cut...- Woland

New Blade Runner Movie NOT a remake!
Should be fine, as long as they stay clear of "Vangelis"! Loved the film, loathed the music....- Woland

Good idea! No vents in the next suit. I will also drop having back pockets in the new pair of trousers. -

What Did You Drink Last Night?
An Old Fashioned, made with a "dirty" brown rum. A kinda spiked Dry Martini, with Old Raj Gin and a Vermouth which name I can't seem to remember. To many beers... Ended up on the couch, fiesting on delivered pizza and watching re-runs of The Wire. The Missus is currently in the Canary Islands...- Woland

Meeting my maker! Ravistailor.com
Greetings Loungers. Met up with Mr. Jeswani (master tailor) again last night. Told him that I was interested in an additional pair of trouses, cut in a 30s - 40s style. He showed some knowlegde, and more or less exactly described what I wanted, without me showing him the pictures I had brought... -
Terror attack in Oslo, Norway
It was heartbreaking... Am now removing myself from the situation (as much as possible). Going down to the summer-house with Missus and kids. A time for being family... Be well.- Woland

Terror attack in Oslo, Norway
That has absolutely nothing to do with it. The Swine comes from a well-to-do family and was living his pitiful excuse for a life under more than comfortable conditions. And; prison is prison, even in Norway... He will more than probably not see the outside world again in his life. Yet; I fear...- Woland

Terror attack in Oslo, Norway
Well, the swine is claiming both this and that. Fancies himself with grandeur he does, the filthy little man. Btw; his "Maniphesto" is more or less a cut & paste job on the writings left by the notorious UNA-Bomber. There is indeed several similarities with the case of Timothy McVeigh. One...- Woland

Terror attack in Oslo, Norway
Dear friends. Thank you for your kind words. The general feeling here in Norway is one of limbo and disbelief. The murderer claims to be a Temple Knight, and describes his bloody task as gruesome, but necessary. In my opinion he is merely cloaking his pitiful failure and bloodthirst, behind a...- Woland

Three piece suits
LOL! I understand where you are coming from. I wholeheartedly agree with you. Wearing a suit, without a waistcoat or a vest, is simply indecent... ;-) I've bought a number of waistcoats to go with my tweed jackets, and I am forever in the market for three-piece suits. This one keeps me... -
Three piece suits
Thank you. The occasion was a 40s revival in Bletchley Park Uk. My dear Tuppence B. and myself hit the area after a very nice concert in Hitchin. No clues as to the make of the vehicle, but it fit like a glove. ;-) The suit is a cheapish linen suit from Charles Thyrwitt. Complemented by a...
