R.I.P Glenn O’Brien (1947-2017)

News has just reached that Glenn O’Brien has died! He was of those dressers, well documented on the internet, that I always thought just ‘got it’, you know? One to look up to, for sure.

Nostalgia…Remember 2009?

I suffer terribly from nostalgia. I even miss the stuff that was happening two weeks ago. God knows how I’ll cope when I’m actually old. Naturally, this nostalgia eventually drifts towards menswear. What were we wearing? What was the look?

Padmore & Barnes P500

I’ve long considered Ivy – or at least mid-century American gear – to be the focal point of my look in some way or another. Fortunately that’s a pretty broad brush stroke and means that I can get away with sticking all

In Defence and Praise of; The Uniqlo Oxford

I decided to go back to university in September (hence the dead blog), and, naturally, this means I’m absolutely skint. This is a difficult position to be in for those of us addicted to clothes. Even more difficult when even

OCBD; Other Cloth Button-Down

It’s astonishing, the ease with which a decent ivy league styled shirt can be had. I once imagined I’d eventually have to try out every tailor this side of the river to get a decent copy of a vintage Sero Purist,
