Just gave a pair of white jeans away, not up on this style lark like Hass.

With Maison Margiela 22, there's no visible logo. Better that way, imo.

This is true. And I used to have a few pairs of White Adidas kicking about.

maybe but are margiela copying an adidas trainer?

i'd also say the branding is so minimal as to be almost invisible.

[hassinator]

imagine the fade on this glorious indigo shirt

[Crimson_Tank]

I see those new White Adidas but I raise you these!

big fan of wes anderson and his limited edition trainers particularly the rod lavers from rushmore.

these are very fresh for summer.

a couple of directors i've worked with in the past have been making some really excellent feature films of late.

i saw jon watt's spiderman at the weekend and loved it.

here's the video he made that persuaded me to work with him on fatboy slim.

great cast of - at the time - almost complete unknowns.

if anyone wondering where i am on twitter i got a 24 hour ban for quoting india knight to some div:

'better a champagne socilaist than a champagne c*nt'

[kavah]

^ ha ha - well in

[hassinator]

^ ha ha - well in

not sure why i have to delete the quote and india knight doesn't but fuck them if they can't take a joke

[hassinator]

and so my thoughts turn to winter and some super slippers.

hard to top these bad boys from quoddy.

i watched 'three days of the condor' again last night and was reminded of robert redford's effortless and timeless style.

he starts in his bureau office rocking a donegal tweed jacket apparently lined in red silk.

rocked with a cashmere scarf; navy scooped neck jumper over a chambray shirt; faded flared denim and some hiking boots.

after he goes on the run he sports a classic pea coat/rayban aviator combo.

he looks as fresh as if he bought it all yesterday.

bravo.

Did you end up picking these up mate? I’m thinking of getting the black ones for winter.

Reading some reviews online a few people seem to be saying the fitting is on the small side, go half a size up.

[hassinator]

i'm rather drawn to this mccoy hoody.

didn't get em mate. 

have seen a few lads scooting round soho in them and they're definitely lovely in the flesh but no idea on sizing.

I got a pair of the black ones, £50 in the sale. It would be rude not to.

The quality is really good, there is cushioning in the sole which is a bit weird for adidas trainers.

45 year old jacket with real vibes

[jooneyisdagod]

Speaking of vibes, Gucci's new direction is all kinds of swag. Just a shame I can't afford any of it but Gucci under Alessandro Michele are putting out some of the best stuff I've seen for a while.

[hassinator]

should have posted this last week when it came out but just remembered today.

great fun working with andy and rouge on this also a great record.

thank you chaps just saw these messages.  dinner at p.franco on friday night with lovely wife and their flight path of wine; pasta vongole with crab on saturday with a lovely sancerre; a game pie with a rioja on the sunday.  there was also some brandy and a load of chocolate

btw if you want to read about p.franco it just got eater's london restaurant of the year award yesterday https://london.eater.com/2017/12/5/16734304/best-london-restaurant-chef-design-delivery-eater-awards-2017

it's a natural wine shop that does 3-6 month stints with up and coming chefs.  they just have two ceramic hobs to cook on for 15 covers and then charge corkage on the wine.  it's so good.  definitely my favourite place to eat for past couple of years.

Something for you dapper chaps to consider.

Do you have an item of clothing that you have now thrown/given away that you think, I should have kept that?

I used to have a lovely orange Duffer of St George (not the Debenhams rubbish) puffa jacket.  Got rid because everyone said I looked like a pumpkin, wish I'd kept that one.

I had a Kangol coat that was orange and black.

I got rid of it because everyone said I looked like a traffic warden.

They were right
