Merci Mon Brave. Atlas Brooks has very short sleeves.

That jacket looks good but seems to have a mysterious "stain" on the left lapel. Or am I just going wire happy?
That madras is lovely but too small for me!!!
Looks like a 50s/60s label on that corduroy. 2 button jackets are just as good as 3/2 roll imo. The top button, whilst certainly a beautiful feature, only has a minor impact on the overall look, and Brooks shoulders were the best.
HHHHHEEEEEERE'S JOHNNY!!!

My two cents Oliver, is that, at this point, I'm really partial to long wingtips. Regular wingtips just don't do it for me. They're really good looking shoes, nonetheless.
Any UK/ European 42" wearers out there should pm me...

Does anyone here have a BB shetland? How do they compare to O'Connell's? They LOOK thinner.
As much as I hate to say it, my first impression is that I like my Harley's of Scotland more than my OC's. Almost $100 cheaper too.
The Christian Scoot ones are by Harely too and i'm very happy with them, especially for £25 a pop!
OC's would got a whallop and have delivery and duty, even on ebay - so right off my list.
Thought Harleys tended to stretch very easily, got some bad reviews in the Shetland thread?
I have more Shetlands than i need, the best for quality is the brushed Jamisons
However my favorite may surprise as its my vintage Lands end made in Scotland.
