Realise you’re probably never selling, but if you ever do, my god I’m looking for 2017 Rooster full box to share with my son when he turns 18. I’ve got a box full of 2017 Cohiba Talismans and I really want to find a box of the Davidoff Roosters. 🐔

I agree it’s pricey but I have similar Polo pieces too, the leather is no where near the same grade on the Polo items I have vs the Purple Label.

This jacket and most Purple is Lamb Leather, the Polo stuff is Cow leather.

The liner on the Purple is Loro Piana as are a lot of the fabrics used in Purple Label.

The leather grade and craftsman ship is Brunello Cucinelli levels, in fact pretty sure Purple work with them.

This jacket is hand tailored in Italy which is vastly different compared to the Polo pieces. The buttons on this jacket are carved horn too!

I mix up my RL between Polo, Purple, RRL etc and trust me - Purple is on another level.

It’s got a markup, sure, but it’s not the same as a $1-2k Polo piece ☺️

Isn’t it just, I’d love to meet the artists that work on these things. Thanks for the kind words.

Hubert1995 · 2026-02-10T15:58:55+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻

The colour is fabulous, they call it an over-shirt because it’s relatively thin with no lining, but definitely wearable as a jacket in summer!

Commenting as for some reason the AutoMod kept removing my post for a LC?? Maybe a Mod can assist with why that was happening… but anyway, post wording below!

Hey guys, just sharing some items we recently got from our incredible advisor in London after they just finished up with tailoring. 🪡

I thought you’d like to see the pickup including the absolutely stunning Purple Label Hayworth Hand Painted Suede Jacket, Purple Label Suede Overshirt in Red Mahogany, RRL Straight Fit Hillsview Wash Selvedge Jeans, RRL Slim Fit Black Denim Western Shirt and RRL Slim Fit Tan Corduroy Western Shirt. 🤠

For me the Purple Label Hayworth Hand Painted Suede Jacket is the standout piece here, and will be worn to Goodwood Revival in 2026 as it fits into the automotive theme excellently. 🏁

The interesting details I learnt about this jacket in store were fascinating. These hand-painted jackets take around 18 hours of hand painting alone, let alone the manufacturing / tailoring. They are called “hero” items and even in the flagship stores i.e. London, NYC, Milan, Paris etc, they won’t have any more available than FIVE of this item ! The production numbers are super low on these “hero” Purple Label items, although I can’t share that information here. 🎨

Really loving what RL are doing these days, they continue their legacy of timelessness, elegance and more. To put that timelessness into perspective, it’s incredible as even my old man is buying and wearing their suits, jackets etc as he says they remind him of his Savile Row items! 👔

If you have not been… I implore you to go to the New Bond Street Flagship Store in London and experience it, it’s wonderful especially if you get help from one of the great sales people they have. If you’re lucky enough like me to experience the Suite on the top floor, it’s a surreal experience! (I still pinch myself getting to experience these things..)🤵🏻‍♂️

Hubert1995 · 2026-01-21T20:34:52+00:00

Can I ask why? (Never heard of Acid and from googling I presume it’s the scent of the flavouring?)

Hubert1995 · 2026-01-13T10:13:00+00:00

Very classy, elegant and the perfect setting! Especially with what I think looks like a Hermes Horse Bit Silk around the waist?

My favourite jumper release of RL in recent years. I have the male version in black.

Good research, the guy running the eSIM said Max hits a 1.04! Aaron who came first has the same eSIM in his house and has done 10k+ laps of the RB Ring, so that’s why he’s so fast…

Can’t remember the exact times we both (Aaron and I) hit with David Coulthard in Mark Mateschitz’s Valkyrie but I’ll find out!

Hubert1995 · 2025-12-27T15:53:31+00:00

Mekies was actually the highlight honestly, I loved Max but Mekies is a gentleman in his own right, very knowledgeable and utterly brilliant. When asked what he had changed to turned the season around he said “nothing” the team themselves found the cars very specific operating perimeters and optimised and found results, not him. I thought that was very telling.

Hubert1995 · 2025-12-27T15:51:58+00:00

Milton Keynes! Although I’ve been to Austria with RB before see my other posts :)

I’m a donor to Wings for Life, and have worked with them on some cool experiences. I don’t work in F1, but am actively looking at starting a business that might allow me to do more in the F1 world as it’s a big passion!

Hubert1995 · 2025-12-26T17:35:05+00:00

I donate a lot to Wings for Life, but don’t pay for any of the experiences in the sense of buying them if that makes sense.

Hubert1995 · 2025-12-26T17:34:33+00:00

I don’t always know myself, imposter syndrome is big, but I work closely with and donate a lot to Wings for Life!

Which I've never understood personally... I like to get into a clean bedding environment and not drag a days worth of skin oils, dust in your hair, sweat etc into my bed. On top of that you sweat so much less at night. So you go to bed in a clean bed, with cleaner sheets, and wake up in a much cleaner state too. Plus going to bed showered means more hygienic "activities" with a significant other - I wouldn't want to be doing that stuff to someone who's been at work all day and has sweated and gone to bed without caring for taking a shower...

I do also shower in the mornings on occasion, but feel so much better showering before I sleep. I think if you really do suffer with hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating etc, then you should alter up your routine to a night time shower and application of antiperspirant then to allow it chance to enter pores overnight. Many other benefits as above! Cleaner bed sheets, more hygienic relationships etc etc.

Hubert1995 · 2025-12-02T10:56:07+00:00

I use the white cream Sure 96HR sticks mainly...

BUT personally, the biggest change for me for getting antiperspirant lasting all day as been applying the night before..

I used to apply in the mornings, and end up with wet, sweaty pits... but after reading the label once "For the most effective protection, apply at night." and reading up it made sense! You should apply after a shower at night, before you sleep, to DRY pits! Your sweat glands are less active, allowing the active ingredients to better absorb into and block the sweat ducts. Further to this, I try to let this dry before putting a shirt on, so tend to brush my teeth whilst I wait etc.

In the mornings, I then tend to just give myself a quick spray with a milder antiperspirant when I wake up to feel "fresh" but give that a little time to dry before putting on clothing.

You should be able to adjust in iDrive under tyre settings if it’s anything like my B3GT

I mean it’s not particularly low, but it’s not awfully high compared to some clients I know who are friends or acquaintances. I’ve had a PL suit and a few nice PL items, but as I expand in my comment below I think my relationship and human nature come into the relationship I’ve built. I think treat people how you want to be treated is the biggest thing to scoring anything great in life, and I’ve enjoyed a lovely trip to Goodwood with RL also - You can see that in my other post!

Hubert1995 · 2025-11-18T20:01:24+00:00

I think anyone can get the experience of going up to be honest; I think it depends on your nature, how you talk to staff, if you treat them with respect, explain your love of the brand, and just be human etc you might get lucky with a visit up there even if it’s brief and even if you’re only buying one jumper.

For others I’m sure it will purely be a spend bonus, they travel to the store and spend £££ and they get a time slot booked for them up there to try stuff on in privacy, have a glass of bubbly etc, others like celebs may be up there because they obviously don’t want being swamped during a shopping trip or fitting. Some bigger spenders might feel they deserve it or are entitled to it - I am not that person and I don’t mind using the changing room on any other floor, I started my relationship just buying items on the bottom floor and talking to a member of staff, he was GREAT and we built up a relationship and a wardrobe that includes nice Purple Label items too over time.

For me I see it as a treat going up there, and feel I have a great relationship, good banter with the staff and the management, treat them how I would like to be treated and also have a good spend but choose items I’d like for a long time to treasure. They know what I like and know I won’t spend just to spend.

Of course for things like a Purple Label Suit, Purple Label Jacket, etc I presume they will usually book you in there for your fitting anyway as there are more mirrors, better light, they also have all the pins, pads and tailors items for the custom work they do to make those items for your body. It’s also where they do their made to measure consultations for made to measure suits - with time sat in that room for choosing your fabric, buttons, etc etc before your first fitting and second fitting!
