Inspired by theese
ive been incredibly inspired by the range of tweeds at dashing tweeds
Im even more inspired by some of the tailoring too!
I think it may be the boldness - or just the jokesterism of the peices but im really quite attracted to them. sadly tweed doesent work in the desert. if only they mad the stuff in a super light 6-8oz fresco

Back from Honkers
So I have returned from Hong Kong with clothing in tow.
I went to see luke at Ash samtani - outstanding service - a review later.
5 sea island cotton shirts
2 x pink squares – I seemed to be having difficulty finding nice ‘pinks’ here in Doha, so I have had 2 made in two different
2x flat whites – I seemed to have distinct lack of flat white shirts in my collection so have added two
1x very nice blue and white butcher stripe.
The suits.
I had two suits made up whilst I was out there. Both from the JJ Minnis fabric that I had previously bought.
one from the oatmeal Cashmere and one from the black Rangoon
two pairs of trousers with each one with belt loops and one with adjustable side tabs.
I had Luke half line them for that ultra light summer wear – as lets face it its hotter than hell out here over the summer.
