An unplanned haul whilst attending a corporate event this afternoon. I have been looking for this avaiator tech in gray gradient (RB 8307/004-32) for quite a while. The arms are made of carbon fiber, a lot more lighter than my the other classic aviator, the RB 3025.





Comparing with my 10-year old RB3025, this aviator tech has a darker shade of grey (with flash):





(without flash):



The case has this carbon fiber motif. I still prefer the old case.

It was a petty haul - some shoe laces and a shoehorn:

I decided that I need a bigger luggage since I foresee myself to be spending more time overseas next year due to work.
A Rimowa's Salsa Air, the lightest Rimowa, period:














Comparing to my existing Samsonite's Cosmolite, it is about 2 inches higher:



I think I have made a mistake for procuring the largest from this series....

Where had you been???? Still commuting between the states and malaysia?

I am very much particular on Fred Perry articles, considering my closet is stuffed (really stuffed) and as a matter of fact, I am expecting a MIJ Fred Perry coming from UK. Stay tuned.

On the side note, I am really a small timer. There is nothing fancy in my wardrobe; only necessities.

I finally made it.

I had a half-day window in my recent business trip, a luxury that didn't come by easily. I made a trip down to this Monocle shop (http://www.monocle.com/) situated at St Francis street. It wasn't an easy assignment to locate this shop for a first-timer.

Coming back with these.




The black tote and summer notebook are freebies for one-year subsription.

Monocle x Comme des Garcons Scent One: Hinoki. Very woody. And dark, an element you would expect in any Comme des Garcons' fragrance.





Drake's x Monocle pocket squares. Made of wool and silk, very light and porous. The red one apparently is the best seller. It was the last one in the shop.





However the most unexpected haul is this.



A few years ago a friend, who is a French, gave me a soap bar made by this company, Marius-Fabre (http://www.marius-fabre.com/fr/). This company has been doing the same old thing for the past 110 years - producing soap. I would never thought I can find one here as it wasn't reflected in Monocle's online store.

I am definitely going back for more.

An addiction. Another saffiano addition:



A credit card holder, to compliment with my other saffianos:



Mailman arrived earlier this week, leaving me with a note. Had to pay a visit to the mail centre to collect this package myself:





A little, warm gesture that no one can forget:



Drake's pocket squares:

Grimm, any promo code for SSENSE that you can share?

I can't comprehend why the thread starter, in this case, yours truly, would need to amend the title when you are having disagreement with some forum members here? Furthermore, I have laid down the principles of this thread in the very first page. Perhaps, you could start another thread with the title described by you?

Done? Now shooo!

I was at Singapore during the long weekend that coincided with two public holidays - don't you just love Malaysia? I dropped by the Escentials, Tangs Orchard last Friday, browsing through an array of fragrances and candles, attended by a very nice and polite young lady. She, a Singaporean, kept on bringing out all the fragrances and candles until I had to ask her to cease. She told me it was ok. We chatted for quite a few hours and I sampled almost half of the Serge Lutens, Creed and a couple of Amouage, CDG and L'Artisan.

I ended up getting a bottle of Fille en Aguilles by Serge Lutens. My initial intention was to sample the Five O'Clock Au Gingembre and if the scent suits me, procure it. However it was out of stock when I was there.

I was thrown in a rather generous samples by the young lady - Himalaya, Original Vetiver, Aventus, Chergui and Daim Blond.



The Aesop x APC was procured at the Aesop's flagship store at the Ngee Ann City (Takashimaya) whist the eco-luxury Ecoya candle was at the Club Street.

Another reason for me to fly over to Singapore was to pick up my delivery from DHL:

Something ugly from Germany arrived today:



Very well packed:





A glimpse:



A bottle of Heeley's Cuir Pleine Fleur, Cire Trudon's Ernesto and Trianon. Those samples are: Ulrich Lang's Anvers, Nasomatto's Silver Musk, Creed's Aventus, Byredo's Sunday Cologne and M/Mink





Cire Trudon is the luxury candle maker since 1643. The oldest.

Ernesto is my favorite. It has this tobacco, masculine smell. If you are single, this will be the perfect candle for you.

I have been a Matches Fashion shopper for several years, always love the customer service, the packaging, the personal touch. Placed three orders on separate dates, these are the first two arrived about two weeks ago:









This is one of the few designs of the shopping box that Matches Fashion used to ship out the package:



Nothing fancy, only three Orlebar Brown beach towels - one for me, one for my wife and one for my daughter:



The last parcel from Matches Fashion was hit by tax. Details later.

The last parcel in question that I received from Matches Fashion:




A nightmare to any online shopper..........



Anyway, enjoy the items within:

I have always been an addict to scents! And Fred Perry! And shoes!

I planned to get more FP but my wife was watching over my shoulder when I was placing my order.

Yes it is indeed an Andersons belt, gonna pair it with khakis and linen pants.

How much did you get taxed? Mine is ridiculously high.

Those idiotic fat arses at the customs, by themselves, assessed that the shipping by dhl from uk to malaysia was about rm600 whereby in reality the shipping was free. so all added up and taxed me 20% + 10%. This is the thing when education system is deteriorating.
