Sorry for the picture's quality. I'm no photographer.<br />

The jacket is pretty nice and the fabric is really heavy weight and robust Harris Tweed, so it's really warm. I could go out with this even though it still is rather cold out there. No need for an overcoat.Ratanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11151712818450248379noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130638638109003164.post-85693666534272782642011-03-18T16:52:00.000-07:002011-03-18T16:52:59.268-07:00Coming upI just bought a cool vintage tweed jacket, which will arrive some day next week. The jacket is sort of american ivy league style. Really neat. I'll post some pics of it for sure.<br />

Also coming up: a review on traditional wet shaving products from the UK. I've been shaving with a single blade safety razor for over a year now, and I must say that it really changed my shaving experience. It's really the only proper way of shaving for me: no cuts, no razor burn and my sensitive skin stays in pretty good condition. The modern uber Gillettes can't do this, since they have too many blades for a sensitive skin. Only one blade is really enough, believe it or not.<br />

I'm a young (soon-to-be law) student and I'm interested in traditional menswear and dandyism. I will post here some clothes and accessories that I own or would like to own, and amongst that some other crazy stuff I just wanna share with you! I'm also very interested in music and am a guitarist and a french hornist myself. Wish me good luck with my new blog!Ratanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11151712818450248379noreply@blogger.com8
