STILL! It hasn't shagged the circuit my sockets / appliances are on so to cheer myself up I'm blogging a couple of purchases I've made to get me through these dark, dark times...
First off, I copped for The Bay Meadow 1930's tee from Levi's Vintage range. It's an exact replica in cut and design of the same tee shirt originally produced in the
1930's and is intended to be worn loose as it was back then. However, I'm going through a funny phase at the moment with regards sizing. Through pretty steady weight loss over the years, no doubt helped by my weekends of very little eating and 10 hour shifts on various dance floors. The trouble I've had with the likes of Barbour, absolutely swamping me etc is no ones business. So instead of nabbing a medium, I had a pop at the small in this and I think it fits alot better... Looser clothes don't really suit my frame as I tend to look like a crack addict and i do tend to find the Heroin-chic look isn't really one that does you any favors when you're trying to get somewhere with the target-demographic, IE beautiful Women...
Up Next I decided that I'd go for something a little different. Folk haven't really done much for me these past two seasons, however I have remained a loyal fan or their Tee's both for fit and design. I've got a fair few hanging up in my wardrobe and that's testament to the quality and overall look that they produce in their designs. I love the colours Folk use - perfect for everyday wear or for sporting on a night out, either way pretty much wearable with anything. Folk will continue to get my custom as long as they keep turning out ace pieces such as the Necklace cut and sew effort, which is my second purchase of note...
To Round off my mini-spree I finally landed the Tartelon jacket from Universal Works in the pretty dapper shade of plum. The navy version also caught my eye when it was first released but I've left it late to make this an addition to an already bustling winter wardrobe - it's pretty much sold out everywhere. In fact I've just copped the last one from End, again in a small - seeing as Universal Works stuff drowns me as well, or at least the fell jacket did when I had that. However, sizing drama apart - For £85 I don't think you can go wrong, the quality is something I wont question, it's evident from stock photos that this is going to be a nice little number to have for chilly evenings out when I cant be arsed to cart a coat around with me. The shawl collar is a must, the pocket detail and the buttons are all nice little touches to an overall stellar bit of kit.
It's funny how some new clobber can cheer you up... Not to mention the fact I've manged to fix the lights (being a qualified Electrical engineer does help I suppose) My ankles feeling a little better and the money I'm saving this weekend from being in work will go towards some more fine garments... No Wait, that last bit was bollocks, I really wish I was out this weekend. Oh well, can't win them all!
Have a top weekend, whatever you're doing!
Saul Wilks.
