Trad Time...

Just for those who may not be sure -

The two 'missing' photos from Smart Turnouts G10 range are as follows:

Royal Horse Artillery: Dark Blue with a Yellow stripe running down the middle. The Yellow stripe is about a third the width of the two bordering Blue stripes.

Royal Marine: A Red stripe with a Bottle Green stripe and a Gold stripe. The Gold stripe is half the width of the Green stripe which is half the width of the Red stripe. It is arranged like a tricolour (sp?).

At least that's how they should look.

Both are also available in Nylon from Central Watch.

Orvis have more cheap & cheerful Field Watches of various sorts - They seem to be expanding this side of their business. They take an 18 to 20 mm watchband.
I got a Briarhaven this AM and it looks fine with a G10. A 20mm might be even better, but let's not get too girly & fussy about these things, eh?

Quick tip - Take the shine of the bezel (sp?) on the Briarhaven with some Emery paper/ Rough sandpaper - it soon scuffs up for a more broken-in look.

Re: Trad Time...

I was looking through the ol' Trad What You Wearin' thread on BBR.  Some nice sacks on ol' Brownie.  That southwick has a shoulder that I like, with some slight padding at the end of the shoulder/sleeve.  Compare it to the vintage Brooks makers that Phil is wearing, which is relatively representative of what I consider the Brooks ideal.

i.e. Southwick will work on the shoulder to a certain extent, but I like what Brownshoe has there.  I don't know if it's MTM or what, but it works.

Steedappeal is promising a nicer shoulder out of Press this spring.
