Reiss is a good shout i stopped going there a few years ago when i started losing muscle and fell between a medium and a small but now I'm just skinny small will probably work fine for me

^^ JL and M&S stuff is dead good - think it gets overlooked but I actually got a couple of their tees over summer and dead impressed. Also really easy to go in and try on

Arket would be another option

yup. their mid-weight ones are great imo

at the same time, blank t-shirts are such a personal thing. my absolute favourite of all time is "lifewear USA". hard to get hold of though - https://www.blacksmith-store.com/collections/lifewear-usa

This Esp M&S they had some great white single pocket Ts in last summer sizing was generous so good to check before you buy.

Yeah blacksmith have some good brands - big fan of my Camber sweatsuit

I have a brand new Allegri black trench coat in large that I thought I could get away with wearing oversized, I got home and realised I could not (I'm a medium). It's amazing quality. I however then forgot to take it back... so anyone want it for £100? Is says £600 RRP on the label whatever that means.

I used to rock a jumper just like this Drake’s one but once I hit 40 my wife casually pointed out I looked like a paedo kids TV presenter so it had to go :’(

She's not wrong

Someone should tell Peregrine...

I also had to demote my country of origin multicolour sweater too. Sad times, getting older..

She never is.

@small I have a light grey Peregrine overshirt jacket thing which I don't really wear anymore on account of my hair having turned an identical shade since having a kid. Middle age sucks balls.

I quite like Pitti scrolling on Instagram, okay maybe 1/10 I enjoy for the “correct”reasons but none the less.

Blazers and stone island a worrying trend.

@donatiperugia always comes out great, his feed is day to day perfection.

I copped a mixed reaction when I canvassed opinion on this bad boy

Personally I think it’s great 😊

Perfection

Lovey if you can pull the look off
I'd look like I was larping as Geoffrey from Rainbow if I tried it.

Peeeeeedooooooo!

Jokes, I reckon you can pull that look off for at least another five years 👌

I still like it.

Any recommendations on synthetic down jackets? Patagonia do the micro puff which seems decent and weight of 300g. Budget around £250 and looking for something as light and packable as possible.

I have an old one of these. It's nice and surprisingly warm, no hood and don't know about weight. It's pretty light though: https://finisterre.com/products/mens-recycled-etobicoke-insulated-jacket-black

lol I just asked this same question. I've been looking at Rab and Arcteryx but my guy @JB recommended Patagonia. My gripe with them is the colour choices :(

I think you're best searching out the main brands and comparing based on your needs ie how cold, wear resistance, etc. - North Face, Rab, Patagonia, Finisterre, Columbia, etc.

Made me think of...

(sorry)

If you actually want as light and as packable as possible, look at Cumulus. Their stuff is 10/10 and super cheap. But it’s proper technical garb. Cumulus.equipment is their website. My Cumulus sleeping bag is the absolute tits and it was so cheap for what it is. The climalite is significantly cheaper than Patagonia, will likely be warmer, probably pack down to the same size and is 65g lighter.

Cheers but yeah ideally want a hood.
