Shame they’re £180 though [from retro to go]

Another one I like – glow in the dark as well!
Imaginary Foundation have new tees, including this new-rave-tastic one:
Which is not so much my cup of tea, but some of the others are.
End Clothing has some nice items… I liked
I really like Vilebrequin swimming shorts.
A shame they’re so bloody expensive ($160!). You can pick them up in the UK from their store in the Burlington Arcade, Piccadilly or in Selfridges.
A Seiko bullhead* model:
* “Bullhead” refers to the location of the buttons and crown.
Got sent a sampler of a fragrance called Castile from Penhaligons.
Very nice, quite spicy with orange notes.
Read the basenotes entry on it or buy it at their online shop (tip: cheaper on ebay).
A t-shirt celebrating Britain’s greatest living artist:
£25 from the Tate.
Big watches, one of my favourite subjects.
watchxl is an online store which seems to sell nothing but oversized watches (although at the cheaper end of the market, no Panerais here).
I see the Timex TX 730 that I’ve had my eye on for a while is £243 exchange rate permitting…
Enough time has passed since Inspector Gadget, Inspector Clouseau & Lieutenant Columbo (err… is there some sort of connection here?). Trench coats are apparently the in thing again now…
The stalwarts appear to be Burberry :(, Aquascutum & Dunhill (whose effort is featured in this month’s “new look” Esquire, P.124 at the snip of £695).
However all of these seem a bit stuffy compared to the one winking at me from my favourite shop, (yes Reiss again) which has a few contemporary touches and avoids beige banality by adding a touch of khaki to its colouring. Only downside is it’s not cheap (£250), and I don’t think I can wait for another sale. So feel free to click on any of the google text ads to your right to assist the trench coat fund 😉
