I was very pleased with my £1.98 woollen navy surplus watch cap.
and I with a pair of deadstock bleeding madras shorts for $5.00 including shipping.
They were listed as 'mult coloured cotton tartan plaid' or some shit. Gotta exploit those loop holes.
Lovely Brooks 346 in dark brown:

Not to leave Kingstonian out of the action.
Message received loud and clear. (Name that tune for bonus points.)
An interesting blue/green striped Harris, hook vent and all. Listed at 39r.

Aside from Colin and Andy, I have little idea of anyone's preferred size.
It's ideal for me though - so thanks!
