So “that” green linen suit
is from Percival
in Hackernee, with “additional tailoring” i.e. shortening the trousers and probably taking the waist in, bastard, is Francesco in Berwick street.
Props to the stylists with a brief of “LONDON”.

The back of the line rack is more lopwell mind
Yeah, mebbe, but look at the state of that.
The perfect foil to Fuhrage.
He can only be more perfect if he’s gay or used to be a woman before the operation
Naturally stylish people annoy the crap out of me
Niece #2 buys what appears to be random rags from Vinted, throws them together and looks like a million dollars
Friend of mine in the fashion biz always says you can’t buy style but you can be made to pay through the nose in an attempt to appear as if you have
Received some new shorts from Spoke this morning.
While they’re nice, they’re quite small which was a bit disappointing since they’re usually pretty consistent across ranges, and I deliberately ordered 1" up in the waist for slob reasons.
Tried them on three times before noticing that they’ve shipped 3" smaller in the waist than what I ordered. That would explain a lot.
My pairs are generous in the waist and a bit larger than tts.
I’ll be ordering one down if I go back.
So yesterday afternoon I printed out the returns slip and duly sent the tiny shorts back. At the same time I sent them an email to one side explaining why I was returning them. Not a complaint, just a heads up to expand on the “other” reason I checked on the form.
This morning I’ve received a flurry of quite confusing automated emails - new order, order cancelled, new order. Now I’ve had an email from customer services saying “terribly sorry, and we’ve short-circuited the returns process and dispatched an immediate replacement in the correct size”.
Which is nice.
Something similar happened a couple of years ago when they shipped my order for a pair of posh trackies twice. I ended up with two identical pairs.
My middle class guilt got the better of me and I told them what had happened. They said “thanks for letting us know, just keep them”. I still have the second pair brand new in a drawer but the originals are looking pretty sad now so they’ll probably be getting swapped out this winter
Anyway, not the rapacious “fuck you” that you’d get from a lot of companies.
So say your initials were maybe T, M, C, and you were going to a wedding.
You might wonder where to get a tie and get suggestions of the usual suspects of Charles Tyrwhitt or Moss Bros, or you can cut down on waste, save a few pennies and borrow something from the back of the fashion archaeology cupboard.

The suit and shirt choice and colour makes this task easier.
To quote a text at one of Jack Dee’s gigs:
What is green with purple spots and hangs from an arse?
Number 5.
Away with your sensible suggestions!
Second from right - like a close-up photo of a well-used piece of arse paper - that one
Black and white. Probably without a jacket because I don’t want to be dripping with sweat before I even get to the service.
Option 4 for me, although option 8 was tempting.
I concur. Need a bit of summer colour, and not too business like.
I’m pretty sure you could pull off 7
I think my arm would get tired.
