Manolo for the Men, a fellow fashion blog, I’m not sure about some of their entries, but do like this tie.

Despite the unseasonally warm weather, there are still a few clues that Autumn is upon us; it’s getting darker earlier, All Bar One is advertising for Christmas parties and the new Howies catalogue has dropped through my door. I’m quite tempted by their “Birdie” gloves which look rather snug and warm, as do their flannel “Big Buck” shirts. Lumberjack-tastic.
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.
Brown Summery Suit from the Muji sale. Trousers £19, jacket £29. Splashed out and bought a nice, unreduced white, patterned shirt for £25.
Someone at the Sunday Time Style supplement obviously reads Fancydan, as they too have picked up on Aussie Bum pants calling them “the next big thing in men’s pants”. Their article did also remind me, that if you’re a fan of the brief, you can’t beat American Apparel’s no-nonsense, Baby Rib briefs in a multitude of colours. Plus, as usual for them, you know they’re sweat shop free.
I also recently discovered the Canadian brand Ginch Gonch. Maybe a little bit bright for me, their pants and briefs have a retro 70s look, featuring bright colours and designs like fire-engines, hot-dogs or speeding motorbikes. Online, they’re available from www.iwantpants.com, a site who put all their effort into getting a great domain name and none into making their site work with non Internet Explorer browsers. Offline, you can find them in Prowler, Soho
