(Tom Bihn as a backup option - I'm almost 10yrs into my Smart Alec and it's still in excellent condition)

Think Natalino have come up here (or suits thread) before. I’ve been out off the mail order and sizing but gotta say it was super simple. Free delivery over £150 and free returns.
These brushed cotton trousers are a little slimmer and the finishing a little rougher but they’re a third of the price or Anglo Italian/Drakes

I went with lilac in the end. No one pointed and laughed at me.

Very boring request but does someone have a lead on 100% cotton sports socks.
Organic cotton would be best and I'd ideally like them with jaunty coloured stripes around the top...

This sort of vibe.
I'm not keen to spend over €5/ £5 a pair though and they must be 100% cotton... is there some sort of online sock vendor doing such a thing?

in true lfgss style, I'm going to recommend a sock with a single stripe for double the budget that is probably out of stock and isn't 100% cotton. the cotton is organic though

they are easily my comfiest socks and they donate to homelessness charities.

Outstanding performance, they're also sold out in my size. lol.

They do actually look good though and 90+% cotton is tolerable!

I'm also looking for similar criteria sports socks but just plain black if anyone has any suggestions.

I have a few pairs of these from Asos. Have had them for a few years and they're just starting to fall apart. They're the least sweaty/stinky of the socks I own, including some relatively posh cycling specific ones.

you didn’t see anyone point and laugh.......

I am now also looking for some socks like these!

Remember reading Kamakura shirts shrink? Size up?

Ivy Ellis socks?

Cheers but I want them all the same colour as I hate pairing socks.

I am of a similar persuasion in that I cba to paid socks so just buy the same pairs. I got these in black for that reason

All of mine are black with a white stripe. I was lazy and just sent the first listing, I imagine you can probably still get them all to match though!

Haven’t been in a TKM for years, nipped in to burn some time and use their air-conditioning and picked up a nice green universal works jacket for 30 boys

Spendy but I love these, plus I think they’re all hand-made in Hackney

I have a suede bomber that is starting to fade on the collar (the knit part) around the neck. It’s going from navy to a gross pink hue. I don’t know if it’s sun fading or general dirt, anyway to fix this or does it need to be replaced?

Sounds like it is slowly being bleached by oils/acid from your skin and sunlight.

Where would the forum recommend I buy a black smart belt from?
