Yayyyyyyy.....

Vintage clothes: My old Barbour.

Dear readers,

this is the jacket I love and hate.

I bought my Barbour Beaufort some years ago, 22 years to be precisely. We both have been trough a lot of struggle, like barbed wire fences at paddocks, tons of rain and even London's chilly autumn. I put a fake fur in it, bought a hood, gave it new waxing a few times, stiched its holes and treated it well.

It always did its job perfectly but I always had the feeling it was way too big for me.
The label said 48, of what I thought was a German 48 (38 in UK measures). So when I found out an UK's 48 was for a fat guy (I wear 40), I was pretty disappointed of the sales man, who didn't know the right sizes of English clothes and did sell me a sack jacket.

That was the point, when I decided not to trust recommendations of clothes sales men any longer. I figured that most of them are always wrong when it comes down to style, sizes, dessins, well, everything. So now, the only three guys I do trust, is me, myself and I.

Today I still like to wear my old Beaufort, because it does not have the name stiched on the left pocket's flap, has the original tartan check and has this killer patina you can't buy.

On the other hand, every time I wear it, I know that it's too big for me.

But 2011 will be the year to buy a new one. Or maybe I could ask the Barbour guys to do some size alterations? What would you do?

Happy New Year!





Rearranging my bars.



Dear readers,

first of all, welcome to my blog, Masood Khan.

I did a few changes in my bars in the past days. I've bought a little this and that but I'm not finished as you can imagine.
In my decanters you'll find J&B Scotch, a nice Sherry, some liqueur and some kind of Schnaps (I got no idea what it might be...).

And I did stock up my globe with some Brandy, Scotch, Jägermeister and Underberg. Still enough room :-)

Cheers, my friends and read you next year!

On Brick Lane, last Monday...

On a break between haircuts outside Pimps & Pinups this guy told me that he'd just come back from vacation in Los Angeles. He also told me that John Hoad now lives in NYC....

Size 50" knitting needle's

I remember from my childhood that size 8 needles are the average size, your mum or your grandma would use to knit you a nice bulky jumper. The needles he needed to use, large enough to manage this yarn he told me "felt as big as broom sticks to knit with". He sells them at his store at Etsy and when he lets me have the link I'll add to this post. He was so nice and even let me try his scarf on.

Then, I saw his whole look which was so many great layers: below

Once upon a rhyme


 I took the first picture at "Symphony of Lights"--my camera was acting up, so I barely took any picture. The lighting displays were awesome.











I am still learning how to use my Santa delivered Cannon EOS 550D. I guess Santa was really listening ;-)

It was already snowing by the time we were done.
And it was windy and freaking cold.















Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!
Happy New year !!!

How to rule the world: The famous globe bar.

Dear readers,

pls. take a look at the great Christmas gift my wife gave to me:

A world globe with a built-in bar.

Every hero or villain needs a bar like this one. Italian made with the reprint of an antique world map, this globe bar comes with enough space for several bottles and glasses under the dome and has more room for famous drinks on the lower shelf (my son is two years old, so won't use it).

Now it is time to fill it with some of the best liquids.



Merry Christmas!


Dear readers,

enjoy this time of the year with your family and your loved ones.
Use the time to think about your life, your dreams and your plans.

A merry Christmas to all of you!

Wishing You a Merry Christmas, Robert, Luisa & Arthur TheStyleScouts...
