Amazing Blog - Heavy Tweed Jacket

If you're anything like me and have a soft spot for things British, even Yorkshire pudding, or ever envied men for being able to have anything custom made for them, from shoes, to trenchcoats and of course suits and shirts, and if you love a good cup of tea and the tins they come in, you will want to head here Now.

Thanks John for letting me know the blog existed. What amazing things...and memories of preppy past. As well as present.

Fall 2008 Fashion - Hell Freezes Over?

At least according to Robin Givhan in this article from the Washington Post. In her view, many New York designers' collections seemed to have run out of new ideas and featured recycled shapes and textures like wide legged trousers and tweedy suits. Fortunately she found exceptions.

More evidence of Hell freezing over, a European fashion designer has chosen none other than Barack Obama, as her muse for her men's Fall 2008 collection.

A male politician from the US as the major fashion inspiration for a major designer's collection. Evidence either Hell has frozen over or maybe the beginning of more style entering into how politicians dress.

One can hope it's the latter. Here's to hope and change!
