Embarrassing. Paid $15 for the same shirt five years ago, and that included post from the USA!

Wow, that's nuts. Am I missing a trick here or are Arrow shirt really THAT popular that they command that kind of price tag?

Liam Mac · 2012-05-15 12:07:46

I think it's just the bleeding madras bit that swung it. The colours too I think are the most desirable madras colours. Arrow Cum Laude is mid range stuff I think.

I love that shirt and I'd probably pay over the odds for it and not feel too guilty but nearly $200? Fuck that.

They do look fresher.... mother of pearl would be my best guess.

That's a beautiful jacket. As is the Olive one you posted, Ville.

Have you had the weather to try it out yet? Is it a light wool or cotton?

Lovely jackets, shame not my size? Would wear both, as you say Woolster, look great with the MoP buttons.

killer single button summer sack, wish it were smaller!

Thanks fellas, yeah I think I'll change the buttons when I get around to it, maybe wear it as is a few times first just to see how it feels.

Liam, we've had nice enough weather in Finland for the past few weeks, but I haven't had the occasion to try it out yet. Based on the pics I was expecting something lighter still, maybe a wash 'n wear like that red one on NSV, but turned out it was a midweight hopsack with metallic undertones like that green one so it's a bit jivey, but I like it regardless.

Liam Mac · 2012-05-22 06:09:59

Sounds good looks good. The buttons would look great on a more traditional looking blazer I think. You don't see many blazers with nice low key brass buttons. But on that particular jacket it doesn't seem to sit right.

Mid weight hopsack sounds about right for a Scottish Summer I have to say. Today's been the first real Summery day since the end of March and I don't mind admitting I've gone a bit mental and I'm wearing madras and no socks.

The red one on NSV is fantastic I think. Not a straight up red and not the sort of burgundy blazer you see usually on old men (in Scotland anyway it's a popular choice). Zach kindly put a reserve on it for me till pay day so I'm hoping our Summer carries on so I can prep it up one Weekend.

Liam Mac · 2012-05-22 15:54:32

Would you believe me if I said I hadn't given it much thought?

I want to keep thing plain and let the jacket be the stand out. I'll also attempt to avoid obvious preppy connotations.

Probably I'll wear it with a navy knitted tie or a slim black tootal I have on a blue 70's Gant Poplin BD I bought last year and haven't worn yet. Then it'll just be 519's in stone and burgundy Weejuns. I was thinking about it with no socks but I'm not sure about that yet. I'll have to see how much of a preppy douche I look.

Thanks to a heads up from the Woolster I grabbed this pop over today. Thanks again, Ville.

The Woolster · 2012-05-25 05:09:51

^ I hope you like it George.

^^^ Sounds good Liam. Any chance of a pic?

Liam Mac · 2012-05-25 06:23:18

I'll see what I can do Ville. I do actually have a camera just now, which is a novelty for me.

That shirt looks great George. The colours epecially.
