    Anyone else hating the hot weather

    London is beginning to enter that time of year that I find quite beastly. This is the time of year when, were I of means, I'd seriously consider decamping to a holiday home somewhere like Rye for the worst of July. A more realistic prospect post-pandemic with WFH a more viable option, albeit...

    Star Trek

    Yes, I should have thought of that.... SNW has a great look, though, that doesn't feel too "new" compared to TOS, and is perfectly in line with the more recent reboot classic-Trek films. (I say recent. the last one was, what , a decade ago now?)

    Star Trek

    I just watched the first three episodes last week on a flight to Beijing. Really good. It's not easy, I think, getting the aesthetics just right doing a prequel now to TOS, but I think they nailed it well here. I'll be looking forward to seeing the rest of this when it filters down to channels...

    Yes, I'll have to remember to have some taken at graduation. :)

    Blazers

    These Cathcart suits are very, very nice. At full price you won't have much change from a grand for tow pairs of trousers, waistcoat and jacket, but at that they are competitive with equivalents from other brands. Buying on pre-order, of course, you can get 25% off, which is significant. I'm...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    As a non-parent, for me to tell dad jokes would be a real faux pa.

    Bailey Hats

    I've been looking at a lot of their straws recently, with a view to (probably for next Summer, now) expanding my straws to those in darker colours (blacks, dark browns, and the rest). The Bailey brand seems to have a very wide price range, which might in part explain the variability of...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I have a half remembered notion it was JRR Tolkien, famously a fan of the pipe. I could be misremembering that, though!

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Iron Rangers? Yes. Best worn max one day at a time with something else in between wears til they break in. I wore mine three days in a row out of the box and blistered very badly. After a week or two, though, they became super-comfortable.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Nice. Those would pair well with green tweeds. Those 9011s are sylistically fairly close to a DM or Solovair boot, though with a vastly nicer sole imo. I do like that colour.

    Indiana Jones V

    Funny thing.... I liked T2 well enough at the time, but rewatching it some years later, I found it dumb, full of plotholes, I hated the kids, and felt the whole thing had dated very badly indeed. Aliens for me was among the weakest of the franchise. It's a good action picture, but lacking in...

    Mr Vintage Twinwood competition....

    Nothing booked as of yet; if there is any availability I might try and see if we can get day tickets at some stage to sample it (the beauty of the Thameslink line running back to London from Bedford all night). A lot hinges on how Mrs Marlowe is by that point; she's had a bit of a health flareup...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I think in part there was a bit of a backlash against shonky attempts to sell us the same stuff all over again on the Ne! and Improved! formats. Most of the hardcore audiophiles I know stuck with vinyl as default, and only carefully selected CDs. It seems it was much like the VHS to DVD...

    Jurassic Park: Alan Grant Fedora

    Yes, sometimes when there's just nothing else that gets you exactly what you want, the only option is to bite the bullet and pay out. All done and said, it can sometimes be better to do that off the bat than buy one or several more affordable alternatives that are never quite 'right' and you...

    Eesh, Lock! Beautiful hats, but call a mortgage broker.... ;)

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I hear you on that. Zips are fine if they're an integral part of the design (think the classic British motorcycle zips by Lewis Goldtop et al with the zips up the back). Otherwise, when they're just inserted for convenience, they kinda reduce it to costume, imo. Fine if you need a quick change...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    @Marc mndt Those button boots are something else again. So rare to see these true to the original style, without a side-zip. Glorious.

    Morning Dress for Church?

    @Fifty150 Quite. I'll leave it up to you to discern which of them I think most needs to read that book you recommend. ;)

    fit check schott 118

    @X83 Very nice. I agree, it gives the jacket a totally different vibe - less Johnny Ramone, more Johnny Thunders. I know this isn't a Schott (whatever it is, it appears to be a ladies' model, probably a hangover from Dolls days), but this is the image that always comes to mind for with with...

    fit check schott 118

    Yes, to be entirely fair to him, they must have been a nightmare to get anywhere, between Marky and DeeDee's various substance issues at one time and another, and Joey's (lone time undiagnosed) OCD.... And his instincts were invariably good, I think, for the band - not least his creation of...
