Thank you! I'm looking forward to my next natural leather purchase. 

A couple of pics of my belt. Two years (plus) of wear.

My pair have finally started to show very early signs of indigo fade. In normal light, they still appear very dark blue! Wearing only in the Autumn / Winter seasons isn't the best idea.

Absolutely beautiful. My favourite shirt from the AW preview.

For me, the standout piece from yesterday's excellent preview. An incredible pair of jeans - now saving my pennies with the hope of purchasing these on release date.

Reassuring to know that I'm not alone in experiencing difficulties putting my JL Engineers on. I've had 2 pairs for 3 years (approx.) and they're still a nightmare to put on! However, I'm so used to the plastic bag technique that this idiosyncrasy has stopped bothering me. The Mister Freedom Road Champs, however, were a breeze from the word go.

Pic is a couple of years old. After conditioning and cleaning, the Lofgren boots are as good as new.

The Cowboy jacket and Californian Lot. 674 in moss green are on my Wish List. Tempted by the 674 in wheat, too.

The Dune Buggy jacket also looks versatile and a potential future purchase.

Just breaking in my MF San Pablo chinos. Not seen any "wear pics" on the interweb to-date.

My Mk1 (IHJ-39 Mountain Parka) being worn on Friday evening. This is my "go to" winter coat and I've lost track of how many times it's been worn. It's still like new.

My two grey Fords.

My San Pablo CPO landed this morning. Truly beautiful and a wonderful companion to my 10th Anniversary shirt.

Looking forward to giving this a cold soak at the weekend and then wearing the heck out of it.

I was lucky enough to pick this up on its first release. Couple of hundred wears later and it's still like new.

Love this. Has a certain James Coburn "In Like Flint" vibe. I'm too pale for this jacket but it's gorgeous.

I wouldn't hesitate to pull the tail of this little piggie. It's marvellous, truly beautiful. Looking forward to investing some serious time with it, this A/W.

The piggie has that effect!

The piglet has landed!

My 'ickle piggie will be in its brick house by this time tomorrow. Genuinely excited to unwrap this porcine pleasure.

I genuinely thought I was going to miss out on this one as I was tied-up at work and couldn't access the site. Thankfully, Mrs. Connoisseur came to the rescue and created a new account / purchased this one for me. It's a truly beautiful shirt. I have a feeling I'll be doing chores all weekend to repay the favour!

@Giles:

We have no plans to extinct the 25oz….

My bad, I was thinking of the 21/23oz denim. [Sigh of relief]

Talk about being taken by surprise, I was not expecting these at all. Now debating on which cut of the (almost extinct) 25oz denim to go for. Having already pulled the trigger twice on Pronto collaborations, these are especially appealing. The wabash pocket bags are a lovely touch.

Decisions, decisions.
