    SJC suits for sale...

    OK, terrible news - for me anyway! - the wool suit, on closer inspection, has been visited by moths... There are a couple of small holes on one sleeve, and one that is a little more significant across the shoulder, so it is, unfortunately, removed from sale. Apologies to all who have shown...

    SJC suits for sale...

    Moving house imminently, so I need to move on some items that I simply won't have space for in the new place. All items are in perfect condition, come from a pet free / smoke free home etc. All jackets and waistcoats are 38" chest, all trousers are 30" waist with 31.5" inside leg and tailored...

    Looking For Wide Leg Jeans

    The Soldiers Of Fortune jeans are actually the Lutece jeans I linked to further up the thread ;-)

    Looking For Wide Leg Jeans

    The best pairs of high waist, wide leg jeans I own are from SJC / Simon James Cathcart. They're not available at the moment, but keep an eye on his site, as there could be new runs of his denim jeans at some point. http://www.simonjamescathcart.com Other than that, I really like the high waist...

    Back-to-School disasters

    It seems we've shared many of the same 'classic fashion moments' Edward. I didn't go for cowboy boots though... I do remember them being quite the thing amongst people who liked Hanoi Rocks / Dogs D'Amour / early Guns 'n' Roses etc. I'd moved in to Goth and Industrial by that point... which is...

    Help with eye glass frames

    They look similar to an early NHS 524 frame, in the Autumn Leaf colour. A bit lighter than the usual shade of Autumn Leaf, but there was quite a lot of variation between the many manufacturers of NHS frames. The earlier versions were more rounded and the design became more square over the years...

    eBay WARNING!

    From personal experience, the only reporting system that is even remotely reliable with eBay is the Vero programme, set up for manufacturers / IP owners to protect their brands and report dodgy listings. One of my responsibilities is to regularly check and report any counterfeit items or...

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    I remember it well, the choices were either these or 'John Lennon' glasses. Both are highly desirable now, obviously :-) It's a testament to the quality of NHS frames that they're still around today in perfectly usable condition. The material quality and manufacturing really were extremely good...

    40s/50s workwear boots

    I have Corcoran jump boots in brown and after the initial break in period, they've been fantastic (they take ages to break in... really, ages). Really well made, excellent quality boots. I wear them with wide leg, high waist jeans and really like them. Initially the toe shape is a little odd to...

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    Just before Christmas, I placed an order for two pairs of frames with lenses from a company in the U.K. called 'retrospectacle'. They specialise in vintage and vintage style frames, and they seem to regularly get their hands on good condition examples of old U.K. National Health Service frames...

    Cotton Thermal T-shirts

    The ones I picked up about a year ago are wool / cotton mix. The one I purchased more recently is 50% wool 50% acrylic, but it still feels good. I should imagine as they're army surplus, the material mix changes depending on the original supply date.

    Cotton Thermal T-shirts

I bought and paid for all...

    Vintage Polo Shirts

    My SJC polos have arrived also, in red cream and blue. The fabric is fabulous, hefty but not heavy, and the cut is perfect for the warmer weather, roomy but not baggy. I'm impressed.

    Higher rise jeans for men: Yay or nay?

    The SJC models are excellent, I have a pair of Big Bs and I love them. You can buy them (and the SJC Brakeman jeans) from Aero leathers: - http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/products.php?cat=denim&sub=tend If you don't want to / can't spend that much and you're in Europe, look for a pair of...

    Some children tried to steal my hat yesterday

    Ninman, unfortunately, some people, no matter their age, are just not particularly nice to be around. This sounds to me like a classic case of 'wrong place, wrong time', and no matter what you did, something probably would have happened. If you'd said 'Hello!' in your most polite and friendly...

    Show us your TIES

    Thanks everyone, I'm really pleased with the. They came to me via Baron Kurtz, so I have him to thank for this amazing wardrobe upgrade :-) Many of them still have the original price labels and card button tags still on... I'm kind of afraid to wear them :-)
