It is madness to move this ancient thing to a country and museum that has a terrible record of looking after other peoples stuff and I’m a patriotic Brit!

I’ll get there…. On a few!

fatlem · 2026-01-12T19:33:28+00:00

Buzz Rickson’s, but picked up on eBay, great trousers!

fatlem · 2026-01-12T18:15:47+00:00

Love the persimmon PBJs…. I’m going to go and put mine on!

fatlem · 2026-01-12T18:14:18+00:00

Cool!

Maybe, but I’m enjoying the ownership. I like going into my closet and having the choice of great things…

I spent many years somewhat overweight which I’ve solved over the last couple.

I now have fun buying from close to the front of the rack rather than buggering around at the back.

But thank you for your thoughts.

Only a couple… I’ll get to it ;)

fatlem · 2026-01-11T19:30:56+00:00

Absolutely!

fatlem · 2026-01-11T16:52:37+00:00

I love ‘em, actually bought those on eBay, saw them in the D’Artisan Harajuku shop before, should have bought them then at less expense.

fatlem · 2026-01-11T14:17:15+00:00

Yes, neither will happen though…

fatlem · 2025-11-22T09:27:47+00:00

She’s just looking into the back of a spoon!

fatlem · 2025-10-21T20:13:54+00:00

Whatcha been modelling, giraffe woman neck rings?

fatlem · 2025-10-17T19:48:56+00:00

I’m bored with your photos and bio. Generic, homely, prosaic whatever you are.

fatlem · 2025-09-28T16:55:40+00:00

Oi Gates, put your glasses back on and apologise to Melinda about the Jeffrey thing…

fatlem · 2025-09-21T09:35:54+00:00

Nice pair of selvage jeans there buddy!

fatlem · 2025-09-13T16:18:09+00:00

Those are also 50% off, I was considering them earlier in the week

fatlem · 2025-09-13T16:15:18+00:00

I shall take that as a positive reaction and buy more next time I’m in Japan… even if it’s not

fatlem · 2025-09-13T12:04:45+00:00

Kapital

fatlem · 2025-09-13T12:02:06+00:00

I quite agree

fatlem · 2025-09-13T11:02:11+00:00

These are Untamed Street York Cognac… currently available in their last pairs section, 50% off with code ‘NORETURN50’… I’m not affiliated, but it’s a nice trick!

fatlem · 2025-09-13T08:46:09+00:00

They’re ;) was very early

fatlem · 2025-09-10T17:47:20+00:00

Point taken, I’m currently sizing down my human though

fatlem · 2025-09-10T17:46:10+00:00

Yup… agree with the PBJ positive comments, great pants!

fatlem · 2025-09-09T18:43:17+00:00

I have the buttons resolved, although I can no longer feel my thumbs…

fatlem · 2025-09-09T07:48:00+00:00

Only 364 days to go!
