@Seul @BloodnThunder My advice is to buy the shirt while you still can. It is amazing! The fabric is 10/10 and i love that the face is not brushed. Meaning it wont get pills. Full review soon. Traveled 33 hours, just got home, phone's gonna die soon.

This won't mean much to many, but I just sold a pair of boots the creator of Scottish kids TV show Ballamory
-
You have tv in Belginia ???

It is a pretty rad shirt. I think I would definitely be pulling the trigger if I didn't just go in on a Masterson's six-pack.
-
You can never have too many extension cords.
-
100% correct. I think I buy one a month on average. Last month I found that my 150' reel was being used to increase the range of the iron 2 foot, so the TV could be viewed from a better angle whilst ironing…..That necessitated a purchase.....
-
I have a 6 way extension cord rigged up with UK/US adapters purely for traveling with phones, shavers, laptops and tablets etc….. travel essentials 101

I've just gone through my wardrobe. Due to lifter problems, I've put an inch or two on around my chest and shoulders, and now most of my shirts and jackets no longer fit. Of course, this is after slimming down, so I had to trade in my old collection a few years back.
So that's nine shirts (five Iron Heart, two Mister Freedom, and one each by Tender and Flat Head), and two jackets (Iron Heart First Zip and denim M65) to clear out.
On the upside, it does mean that I can go long on the new season.

In the meantime I'm looking at the idea of a minimalist wardrobe. The guidelines that I've seen are:
-
Two jackets. (One casual, one formal.)
-
Eight tops. (T-shirts, shirts, Henleys, etc.)
-
Two pairs of trousers.
-
One pair of boots.
-
One pair of sneakers.
I'd probably drop the blazer, add a raincoat (I grew up in Cumbria, which has a rather wet climate), a couple of sweaters or hoodies, and a suit.
Given the clothing addiction that we collectively suffer, I couldn't see any of us curtailing our wardrobes to that extent!

While I like the idea in theory as it minimizes consumption, it has now become a trend and left a bad taste in my mouth (GQ has advocated for it). The guidelines also can seem like an excuse to dump your entire wardrobe and buy all new stuff to fit the model, which kind of defeats the purpose.
In our denim obsessed world this model would ensure some awesome wear on garments though. That said, no way I could do it. I have more IH shirts than the format allows and I couldn't fathom dumping any of them.
