I really appreciate your blogs and Indochino has been phenomenol for me and I want to say thanks for sharing. I know I’m super to this blog but, can you tell me the brand of those dress shoes as well as to where I can purchase them? Keep up the good work when you can and I look forward to your future post.

I just ordered the Tasmanian wool suits from Uniqlo. I’m between a 34 and 33 waist in pants normally and they didnt have any 34′s so I had to go with 33′s. How do the pants from uniqlo normally fit? Am I going to be pushing it going down a waist in your opinion?

Thanks!

They are hard to find. Like a great old school tailor. But when you do find one hold on for dear life!

I guess it’s a (bad) sign of the times that we often just purchase and throw away things, instead of repairing them…

I only recently purchased this watch so the only way for me to really test it’s strength over time is to continually wear it. I have an excellent watch repairman here in Brooklyn who can fix anything and, more often than not, make the mechanics of a watch run even stronger if they go to shit.

So with whatever parts are inside of a time piece, I think one of the best investments is a really good watch repairman.

Thanks,
Dennis

I have been thinking about Invicta watches for a while now, they are certainly inexpensive, but how do they stand the test of time? I read several reviews that were rather negative, but I guess for 90 bucks it is worth the risk.

I personally got myself a Magrette watch a while ago. Magrette is a great company from New Zealand, their watches often have strong resemblance to Panerai, which I adore. Magrette uses the Miyota too, but I have found it to be very reliable and accurate so far. Price is around 450$ for Regattare model the one I got, it’s worth checking it out!

It’s really not bad at all. Only thing I really hate is the Invicta branding on the left side of the case. If they removed that entirely it would really make the watch something special.

Yes, this piece is more versatile than any I’ve ever owned. If you can, make the investment. It’s a beautiful watch.

I’m sporting the silver bracelet at the moment, but I’ve also got the black NATO strap. It takes a little practice and the watch tool to swap the bands, but it’s doable.

I dig the style and the Japanese movement has been very reliable so far. Mine gains about :05 a day, which I can deal with at this price point.

Glad to see you posting again.
I like this one a bit better than the Stührling Ascot. I may check this one out!

Other thin ones that are fine are by Braun and the Swiss Railway watch by Mondaine.
Use it in good health

That’s a great price for a Swiss watch.

You were working with ALAN FLUSSER. If that’s not a “collab” with one of the giants of menswear, I don’t know what is…

I think you will be surprised how much of your readership still exists.
