You hang all your makers in a strict colour coded order.
Then turn the light on & off twenty times and then blink and rub your nose ten times.
Sorry, that’s actually OCD isn’t it!

Aye. Blue yellow and red on off white at first. Now with a wee bit of olive coming through.
I've a pair of deadstock dark olive white tab Levi's I'm itching to wear with it too. Both of them will have to wait a month or so yet I think. Heating up now in the north but still not madras weather.
