It's hard to beat a worn in pair of xx012's. Not mine, I'm debating xx17's for a new summer pair.

Pretty cool. Wearing my 22oz Oni now. With the recent Tanuki Oni collab and PBJ dropping 22oz jeans, I'm starting to think that Oni and PBJ may be the force behind Tanuki.

Just about anything from 2000 and 2003, Taylor Fladgate and Dows have been my favorites, but Grahams has been surprisingly good too.

Hibaki and Yamazaki are both excellent. Stick to 10-12 years, older is milder, loses its edge and is much more expensive. Thanks; you are the Man, Bentin. In a cruel twist, I can make good recommendations on Port too.

I've told them before. They're adults, as am I. I've decided that the pants moving to Spain is an even bigger deal. With them switching a shirt I bought because it was sewn in California to Portugal, and the bulk of recent offerings being Spain and Portugal sewn, they're off of my radar. Love the fit, hate the shift out of made in USA goods. But there are plenty of other choices, so I'm good.

TS and Mina are top notch at CS. Anyone complaining about them is likely doing it wrong.

Get your black waffle henley just in time for warm weather! Maybe Gustin is big in New Zealand?

Nothing like the ol' $150 surcharge. This ends, when, April?

5 works for me, but they haven't had stock in anything but a horrible pink and green one for ages.

Looking good. Really looking forward to wear in shots.
Wish I hadn't stocked up on heavier denim, would love a pair of these. Now just hoping they do the 14oz OD.

Yeah, not much cheaper than Switzerland now. Belgium remains reasonably cheap, and Spain, particularly Basque Country remain pretty enticing for secondary/retirement property.
Part of me wants to just buy in Glasgow though, I love that gloomy hell hole.

Yeah, rural England, or at least not London, Edinburgh or Manchester can be a little dire. Indian food will keep you sane.

Just be glad the pubs don't close at 11:00p anymore. That sucked.

England..... I foolishly thought The U.K. would be as awesome as Europe (Germany, specifically) was. Architecture, people, food, weather..... Everything is "grey", lol You've got a few more months, but it will pick up. I've worked in London and Frankfurt and like aspects of both, but would pick London over anywhere in Germany except maybe Munich.

^i'll have to keep that in mind if I ever order from Ratio. The singular gripe i have about TS oxfords is the small cuff which hangs up on my wrist watch. Pretty nice to be able to tweak that. I also tend to kill the button down collar and either no pocket or two. Symmetry is my friend.

TS shirts are much better made than Gustin. Ratio adds the ability to tweak the fit. I use my TS sizing with an inch added to the front (TS is a little short) and half an inch to the right cuff and a full inch to the left for my watch. That's about it.

Sadly, the Portuguese could probably have done it up right.

Furreallz? The logjam of pattern all bunched up to the left of the placket. lol...I was kidding. Some people DGAS, but it (clearly) drives me nutty.

What seems to be the problem bentin? Furreallz? The logjam of pattern all bunched up to the left of the placket. What's amusing is that they seem to be trying to get the collars right on most of their current campaigns. I suppose I should see this as progress.

Just buy her a bunch of the awful Taylor Stitch women's stuff. That should keep her from looking for any style advice from you ever again.
