mr pink's videogram of terrific tie tieing tales
we’ve all done it, got to the evening of a major event and forgotten how to tie the all important bowtie. it’s at this point i usually call for the nearest servant and get them to find my wife. she usually sets me on the road again and before long it’s all squared away.
if however one finds oneself alone and at the mercy of the interwebby then one could do worse than tune in to one of mr pink’s digital outreach messages, they’ll always be there for you and give a good detailed instruction. i have to say though that the fine looking lady giving the instructions should be sporting neckwear as well, the glimpse of her vest could be enough to make some older viewers reach for the sanatogen.

a gent is a gent, even if he doesn't have a house
recently a chap moved in under a waterloo bridge close to our abode. at first this was a little unsettling but a few things made me warm to him. over time he added to his little bundle of belongings and built a little shelter out of paving slabs, when these were needed elsewhere he replaced them with a few pieces of wood to create a modesty screen.
i really started to notice what a gent he was when i saw him putting on his carpet slippers as he arrived back at base one evening. obviously it can be hard finding a valet who is willing to take care of one’s clothing when you are residing on the pavement but he seemed quite capable of keeping a crease in his trouser and regularly dried his clothing by laying it out in the sun.
he also took pride in his little patch and was often seen sweeping away the dust and detritus that would gather in the gutter. where the broom came from i have no idea but he wielded it with a flourish.
he has moved on or been moved on now, his area is clear of personality and nothing says that the bridge was ever inhabited. i kind of miss him.

i will soon be accompanying a few close friends to the goodwood revival, a scene so steeped in historical reference that one can’t help but get in the mood. in order to increase my chances of fitting in i took it upon myself to buy a trilby.
the chap in the piture above is clearly a confused individual who can’t decide if he fits in the traditional or the modern. make your mind up man! please please please seek the aid of jermyn street and find yourself a collar!
nice hats though and available from trusson’s menswear on lower marsh.
