You start


This would be a good question for me to ask next time I'm facing the wardrobe. I need to go all Chet Miles on the fucker and weed out some bits. Again.

Well, for starters:

Jackets:
1. Vintage Norman Hilton 3/2 hopsack blazer, fits perfectly (and their silhouette, while being 3/2, is much slimmer--higher armholes, trim sides)
2. Southwick for CCC Olive/Brown herringbone shetland tweed, off the rack but fits perfectly.  This was new old stock and has the nicest shoulders imaginable.

Suits:
1. Southwick for CCC Brown Corduroy Suit--most corduroy jackets and suits fall at the cheapest end of most makers' lines, in Pressclusive territory or whatever. These are full Southwick quality, was able to pick them up on massive sale which justified the price.
2. Ditto in Dark Green
3. Andover Shop MTM Dark Blue Nailhead Weave by Samuelohn, in their 2 button sack model

Trousers
BB Cavalry Twill in Brown, British Tan, Fern Green, Charcoal

Ties
CCC Red Wool Challis Tie, 3.25"
J. Press Deadstock Olive/Brown Striped Tie, 3.25"
Viyella Dress Gordon Tartan Tie, 3.25"

Shoes:
Alden for BB LHS loafers and tassel loafers in #8 shell cordovan
Vintage USA made tassel weejuns

Shetlands:
Vintage McGeorge in Raspberry, Heathered Green
Vintage Alan Paine in Dark Rust

Cashmere:
Vintage McGeorge for Eljos Camel colored Cable knit

Four climes dark navy baracuta jacket
Tweed Invertere overcoat with red tartan wool lining

I got asked this by the NYC FT cove who interviewed me as 'Russell' along with Hank & Tintin last year. He insisted on a J. Press item to suit his piece so I went with the jacket I mention in the article.

In reality I'd only save Chris_H's soft Brown Chipp Sack - The finest item of clothing I own, including all my Anglo Ivy tailor made stuff. Press & Brooks could burn, they're easier to replace via the vintage network.

For shirts I'd just save the Troys.

For shoes just my '85 Weejuns.

And one pair of Woolrich Cord Chinos and a London Fog mac.
