I like this Paul Smith belt “verrray much” as Borat would say.

After browsing various stores for the aforementioned, I have purchased one from Muji. It was £30, is nice & thin to fit under jackets and is significantly darker brown (very important) than those from Uniqlo, Zara & Massimo Dutti.
I’ve bought a new coat.
It’s very smart – grey with a faint tweed pattern and is knee-length, made of cotton/wool. It is slightly reminiscent of coats from 1960s British gangster films.
Made by Gibson (?), it was £150 from Jake’s in Soho.
Paul Smith emailed to tell me about some beautiful new scarves they have… I like these two:
Unfortunately they are £85 & £135 respectively, so you may prefer a cold neck.
Another beautiful t-shirt from the Imaginary Foundation:
Urban Outfitters UK store is now online
ONETrueSaxon are having a sale – I like the Tri-Colour knit reduced to £50. Unfortunately their site is entirely flash-based.
Saw someone wearing this shirt on the tube… the phrase just rolls off the tongue: SLM
Oscar Milo in Spitalfields is a menswear and womenswear store that currently has a sale on. One item that caught my eye amongst the bright shirts was a sparsely pinstriped (pink pinstripes!) grey suit with a de la mode one button jacket from Holland Esq.
However the most beautiful item of all in the shop was an Italian leather overnight bag available in tan, red & chocolate. This was not in the sale, but was an absolute bargain at £139… a similar bag in Selfridges would be upwards of £300.
My wife was eyeing the bag enviously and has declared that if I get one, she wants one too… well I suppose it is our 3 month wedding anniversary.
