Is there anything I can do to speed up the process of new shoes softening up? I hate having blistered feet.


Presumably it is the backs right?

Rub them in between your thumb and forefinger.

Double Breasted only really works when it is tailored. The majority of the time it just swamps people or it is bought too small and looks odd.

Edit: How much are you paying for it? Is it this one http://www.asos.com/ASOS-Slim-Fit-Tuxedo-Suit-with-Double-Breasted-Styling/pgeproduct.aspx?sgid=5509&cid=5678&Rf900=1588&Rf-200=4&Rf914=3504&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Black


Yes thats the one, with my trousers (actually stock my size, incredible) £108 for the blazer and trousers with the 20% off discount.

Dress code for the stag do is:
"Lads. it's black tie. So dust of the old tuxedo. i know some people dont have full on Dinner Jackets and bow ties, but see what you can pull together. You can pick up bow ties in most charity shops.
Think Bond (but don't turn up in a wet suit) or the Oscars red carpet (but don't turn up in a little black number showing a lot of leg)!
Bristol won't know whats hit it."

Would that suffice?

Ah, didn't realise it was for a stag do. :yep: It will be fine.

Never bought any Jack & Jones clothing before, are they usually of good quality?

Thanks.

6.50£, Loake Black Brogue.

$T2eC16NHJFoE9nh6nPdqBQ+EeW4h!g~~60_57.JPG

Russell & Bromley, Black Suede Penny Loafers. 50£ (Unsure on these, they're very square toed.)

Reiss, 33£


I bought that grey overcoat, a couple of pages back, it is really nice & warm but I've decided to get faux fur, in grey, put on the collar. I'll post pictures when I get it back from the tailors. Should look pretty cool and be more or less unique. Trying not to buy anything from now!

:congrats: You seem really into the eBay thing now.

How much time do you spend looking for stuff?

Interesting jacket, that.

Have become a big fan of Reiss recently, despite not owning anything from there :biggrin:


Picked up a white tee from Ebay, but I need to get on it more.

haha I know, it is not good for bank balance. It varies, as I'm still at university, I have a lot of spare time, I have lectures two days a week lol.. When I need to do an essay I seem to procrastinate on there a lot. I'd say no more than 2-5 hours a week.. Which does seem a lot but it is very easy to lose track of time haha.

Thanks, eBay is pretty good for most Reiss stuff. A lot of stuff goes for really cheap as the average person hasn't really heard of it. And yeah, the jacket is pretty cool.


On another note, just wrote a piece about Oxford Shirts. signorri.

Any ideas?

Go and read my and your comment...I clearly said i have never spent more than £50 on jeans and YOU said i quote "who cares if you've never spent more than £50" and at the end "primary type prices" which clearly implies that the figure I said £50 is primary type prices for you..and since that topic was about jeans...you clearly imply primark jeans costing £50 -__- If you're not gonna stand with your words then why are you even bothering to argue with me??...and about brand sheep...you dont know it but yes you are one of them...Nothing wrong being a brand sheep mate...so chill hahaha

Dude are you being serious. You are literally just piecing together fragments of different sentences that don't go together and turning it into an argument (and failing). I think you should learn to read before getting into an argument with random people over the internet. In no way did I imply that Primark jeans cost £50. I said that £50 is not a primark-type price, so the opposite of what you are telling me I said.

And honestly, about the 'brand sheep' bit, you're making yourself sound pretty stupid. You have zero idea about how I dress and what brands I dress in. You're just guessing and trying to sound intelligent at the same time.

In style or in colour or both?

I liked the blog, Peachz.


Currently looking to add shirts to my wardrobe, as it happens. Looking at the Uniqlo ones right now.
I'm only 5 9, so shirts are sometimes too long for me ( I favour slim fit clothes without excessive length), and I tend to avoid them for that reason. But I am 20 now and it's daft to barely own any shirts, at this age.

Style and colour.

They're dark brown and I think distressed "style"

This has been going on for literally pages, just drop it. Honestly, no one cares.

Thanks! & yes Uniqlo is great for shirts, they are generally quite well fitted too. I take usually a small or a medium, but I find the small fits me excellently.

Weird, they look purple on my screen. How come you don't want them from Zara?

Does anyone know of anything similar, with the weave on the toe?

Just bought one in pink, on your advice.

Just as a test to see if they fit alright and are good quality really. Can't complain for under 20 quid, if they fit well. Hope they aren't too long.
