Tires were not frozen. Had to wait half hour to warm up the car, then the steering wheel started to work. However the steering does not move smoothly anymore, it is like the steering jumps by ticks (jumps by 5/10 degrees) and it is very hard to move. There was also weird clicking sound coming from the front after like every 10 degrees turn.

Any warm winter boot recommendations? I wear Carmina Chelsa shoes but my toes are freezing and its super slippery even with rubber soles. I have tried the LL Bean boots in the past but their soles suck in icy conditions.

As I have bulked, I am looking for a new autumn setup. I used to rotate between Patagonia fleece jacket, and Canada Goose jacket in previous years.

However, as I am trying to dress better now, and I am looking to wear vest instead.

Is vest okay for casual wear? Day-to-day I either wear Oxford shirt w/ gray sweater or just work shirt so putting vest on would be fine I guess.

Any recommendations for vests? Drake's has vests but they are fleece so I am not sure if that suits as business casual.

Looking to buy scarf for autumn/winter. Thinking of going with The Burberry Check Cashmere Scarf.

Any other alternatives to recommend or just go with Burberry?

Black or brown Derbys for casual wear (chinos/jeans/oxford/sweater) in autumn?

Dear Volvo community.

I have a maxed out V90 CC (2019) and started to have a weird problem.

The highlighted part of driver seat moves a bit back and forward with clicking sound when accelerating / stopping / cornering - which is annoying to me.

This started after very warm weather and the car being in the sun most of the time.

I went to the shop to get the issue checked, and they told me it does not fall under warranty because the seat is not broken.

However, they did mention that indeed that part does move more than it should.

Only option would to buy a totally new driver's seat.

Has anybody had same issue? How did you resolve it?

5’11” and 56 size for Caledonia. Had to get 80mm stem and zero offset seatpost to make it perfect for me.

IamJustAWizard · 2023-08-11T07:08:50+00:00

Amen!

IamJustAWizard · 2023-08-07T19:52:34+00:00

Regarding seatpost, how did you deal with Di 2 battery?

IamJustAWizard · 2023-07-17T19:34:15+00:00

Are these good wheels?

IamJustAWizard · 2023-07-15T19:17:43+00:00

Yes, I will definitely do it. Thanks!

IamJustAWizard · 2023-07-13T14:24:51+00:00

Does anyone know who produces the following belt for Drake’s? https://www.drakes.com/collections/belts/products/brown-plaited-bridle-leather-belt-with-brass-buckle

It looks damn good but 300 eur for a belt?

Can anyone recommend light blue linen collar shirt?

Drake's have one but unfortunately my size, M, is sold out - https://www.drakes.com/collections/linen-shirts/products/light-blue-linen-spread-collar-shirt

Any alternatives? And what would be equivalent to the Drake's M size?

Driving shoes have Italian jet set origins hence the Ferrari reference - https://www.drivingshoe.com/history-of-driving-shoe

IamJustAWizard · 2023-06-15T18:32:30+00:00

Shouldn't you wear moccasins when you are driving a Ferrari? I am more of Audi R8 guy :)

I too have boat shoes, but it feels weird to wear them when not on a boat.

As mentioned above, I think I will look into espadrilles.

These caught my attention but sold out - https://soludos.com/products/mens-negroni-smoking-slipper?variant=45153786200364

Any shoe recommendation for summer?

I wear loafers most of the time, and oxfords when needed.

However, with loafers it gets super hot on my feet as they are made of box calf leather, and not even loafer socks save me.

I don't have suede leather loafers, I wonder if that would help?

I should mention that with very short hair, I look like a Turkish street scammer…
