New Press catalogue
Quite a 'Minet' influence going on this season. Coincidence I'm sure.
Are the Shetlands by a new maker? The necks look different to me. Better.
I especially like the perfect dark Green. Better than Andover's current Greens IMHO. I must email Mr. Wilder with my credit card in due course.
As ever I'll be sticking to the more 'Traditional' offerings, but as ever I like seeing what misterman does.
No sign of Brooks plans yet... I'm sadly lacking in hope though...
Anybody else wish to talk Press?

Re: New Press catalogue
I can see what's happening with the Troy shirts...
They're not for me but it's good to have the name back out there. Maybe in time the uber-soft roll BD could be revived too, you never know.
No more cable Shetlands? Why not add saddle-shouldered Shets instead? Have the plain for $110 & pop out the Saddle for a few bucks more?
Would Press ever do a Slack Jacket? Maybe start it as a Spring/Summer option? Then in time add a Fall/Winter Herringbone?
Who else is going to do these things?
Not Brooks for a good long time, if ever.
Eljo's & O'Connells are too small (That's the point of them & why they have such charm). Cable Car COULD if they wanted. Ditto Silver...
Otherwise it's Press or J.Simons in London as usual.
I'm warming to Andover more & more tho'... Shirts & Shets especially.
I'm up in Scotland soon & will try to sort out the Shetland problem. There MUST be little shops piled high with basic Shetlands. Odd that something so simple is so hard to find. Life!

Re: New Press catalogue
Wasn't too impressed with the shoes in the catalog. At least as pictured. But what the heck, good luck to them. I don't recall seeing a nice tan cord jacket being pictured either. It's always been a standard. I think Mr. Man's done some interesting stuff -- I just hope he doesn't get carried away and try to "sex" up the "brand".

I stopped in on SteedAppeal at Press yesterday and picked up the catalog. Havent had the chance to inspect it but I liked the micro skull and crossbones ties in the store.

Re: New Press catalogue
I hadn't noticed it before, but Press has some new school boy mufflers.

named after the Press family. Mr. Man's old school homage with the new school twist?
edit: less successful, I think, are these glass or plastic bead type of things for cufflinks. Oh my:

Re: New Press catalogue
I haven't been particularly impressed by Press' new 'designer'. I just don't think it is much added value. But maybe they are eyeing a customer who has not patronized the shop since the late 1960s.
