Maybe l should start a blog. The `aussie trad' blog. l'd talk about all the retail stores, the appalling shoo(s) makers/repairers, MTM and bespoke makers. We need a voice from this part of the world.
Great shirt & suit makers, but really bad shoo makers. l've sacked every shoo repairer/maker ever. ALL my shoo guys deserve a fu*ken knuckle sandwhich for the shit they have served up me over the years.

Shoo, I think this Aussie may be trad:

I'm not really sure though. Interesting take on things though. Seems to get around a bit.

Keep an eye on acontinuouslean.com, a good blog by a guy in NY who is very into Ivy. I suspect, because of his most recent post, that he has obtained a copy of Take Ivy and will be scanning photos.

I like A Continuous Lean also. I've been grateful and somewhat nervous since he added the long-suffering trad to his links. My blog is the opposite of urbane. Not exactly written with the New York sophisticates in mind, not that I could do that even if I wanted to. Admiral Cod I ain't.

Lovely quality scans here of the mythic book. They made a film too I believe with a Jazz piano soundtrack.
Welcome, Bro!
I found this post fascinating:

Very good to have HTJ back blogging again, especially with posts of this quality.
The mood of Trad on the Blogs couldn't be better I don't think and that can only improve the Trad forum as time goes by.
Much thanks for the blog links. Saves effort and time having to scour for the goods.
