What did YOU get for Christmas?
Underwear for men at xmas is a very popular perennial though I have been slapped on xmas day for presenting a carefully chosen similar item in return, to my partner. Not as sophisticated as Robert's but equally serviceable, these from one of my daughters. Bawbag, for those of us that don't...- Arnold Layne

How do folks react to your hat wearing?
This Autumn I was sitting in a car park on top of a mountain in the Pyrenees and this tres joli punkette ran over to me and she said ... in perfect French, "'ere mister, I hope you don't mind but I had to tell you how much I love your hat." I said "Well thank you and you're looking rather...- Arnold Layne

Dr Martens
Dr. Martens, here in the UK, have long been associated with police uniforms, the emergency services, Ministry of Defence etc. They have during this period also had a close relationship with anti authority, leftfield thinking and the arts. Unique for an article of clothing perhaps. Postmen's...- Arnold Layne

Dr Martens
A limited edition in conjunction with the Tate gallery a pair of 1460's made from a couple of paintings by JMW Turner. You can tell they are made from original paintings as the glaze is cracked ;)- Arnold Layne

Dr Martens
Not a great deal of love for the good doctor in the Lounge it would seem. Nevertheless I thought I'd post my current rotation of 'Cherry Red' 1460's. The top pair are 'Made in England' the rest S E Asia. Cherry Red was Dr Martens first colour released on the 1st of April 1960 hence the style...- Arnold Layne

(KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects
Inspired by the CRKT Pilar I made a copper scale for my WarToad today. This is the perfect picnic Knife, the hollow grind on the 440-c is easily kept razor sharp and passes the tomato test every time. It's also a brilliant oyster shucker! Now who doesn't need an EDC oyster shucker?- Arnold Layne

Thank you for the kind words mate. In truth though, unless there is another pandemic, I can't see me ... Maybe 'mathgrrl' will have configured a machine knit soon and we can all have one at the press of a button!! atb.- Arnold Layne

Fishermen's sweaters site
Thank you. A cottage industry?? It took me ages! I'm not a fluent knitter like perhaps your granny but I'm good at the technical stuff which came into its own as the finished fabric is completely different in size to other knitted fabrics so there are no knitting patterns. The fabric is double...- Arnold Layne

Also in Yorkshire/Bridlington are Flamborough Marine who make bespoke Gansey's. They're handknitted instead of machine (and so you have to pay the premium) but they leap from two dimensions into three, kind of sculptural if you will. Here's Daniel Day Lewis wearing a copy of his Fathers Gansey...- Arnold Layne

Panama Hat Thread
I think you've done your homework there Trevor. Online is pretty much your only choice for cheap panamas in Blighty. Bricks and mortar stores mainly retail Christys' or Olney panamas but Olney stopped making hats last year! For myself, Ebay and others have kept me in everyday straw for a few...- Arnold Layne

Empire outlet
Ha Ha Vic, yes I do and one or two from other tailors! Plus over the years some vintage tweed suits, jackets and overcoats. You said in your first post that the jacket and waistcoat/vest were tight and that 48" was their largest size 'ready made'. Asian sizes are notoriously small as you know...- Arnold Layne

Empire outlet
I have six Empire Outlet suits. I've got six because they're so reasonably priced. Looking at their website it might be possible to be shocked by their choice of very loud and garish checks, however, looking deeper you may notice some very tastefull tweeds. I have three herringbone three piece...- Arnold Layne

Thanks Robert, Mikael says it's 5.5" and measuring it, 14cm it is open crown, so 5 inches to the center dent at the front. I have a few hats with a 6" crown, 5" center crease but none of them look this big! I presume that is the magic/optical illusion of the reverse taper ... the crown looks so...- Arnold Layne
