L.L.Bean Scotch Flannel Shirt. Arrived today!

Here they are! 

My new Scotch Flannel Shirts by L.L.Bean.

It took ages to finally hold the shirts in my hands! From the US to France, to Germany: 6 weeks!

But this doesn't matter, as the shirts are pretty nice. Nice colours, nice flannel, nice soft touch.

AND: NOT made in China but made in El Salvador. Which is ok for me.

I'm lucky to be able to buy the literally last shirts in Black Watch and Wallace. 

If you want them: Too bad! They're out of stock until Autumn/Fall I guess...

Black Watch and Wallace design.

About sizing: I'm 183 cm = 6 ft tall with long arms. Size M tall is perfect for me.

What to do with a cut off tie? Tie a bow tie!

Helau!

That's what happend to my tie. 

After lecker Fischbrötchen and Sekt.

Have a nice day!

Karneval in Düsseldorf. Helau!

Today is the first day of Karneval in Germany, called Altweiber, which means old women.

Starting 11:11 h, the girls take over, running wild in the streets, dressed up in fancy costumes, dancing, singing, celebrating.

As a sign of their might, they cut off the boy's ties. 

So today I chose one of my ugliest ties I really never wear. It's an Andrew's Tie made in Italy. 

But I don't give a f...urther thought.

 

Another day. Another pair of corduroys.

Barbour and Cords.

Client meeting this morning. Time for a suit.

The "X" comes from holding the camera.
