Hi all.

I want to get my Mrs a pair of women's Ray Ban Aviator sunglasses for Christmas. She likes purple so I'd like them to have the purple mirror flash lenses.
Now ordering through the Ray Ban site means you always pay full whack. I was wondering if anyone knows a good quality distributor of these sunglasses?

Hmm maybe it's an oversized pointed collar?

Morning all.

New job means new dress code of smart casual, so it's most likely I need some shoes/loafers. Any recommendations on something out that's reasonably comfortable? My ankles often really start to feel it after a little while. Budget around £50.

Any suggestions for where to buy a nice blazer from? Want something that fits nice, no cheap tat.

I find Rockport shoes quite comfortable.

By the way chaps, Duggers of London have got a promotion on where all their shoes are £99. They're normally circa £200.

Fantastic quality shoes for the price - I own Andrew http://www.duggersoflondon.co.uk/products/andrew.html and Athol MK II http://www.duggersoflondon.co.uk/products/athol-mk-ii.html - both of which look far better in person than on the website.

Check them out - http://www.duggersoflondon.co.uk/

10% on the cashback sites too.

Have you got a picture?

They look really nice, but literally no stock of anything? Do they get stock frequently or are they just selling off?

Thoughts? Will that go with some nice chinos? Always found the jeans/blazer combo a bit strange, never dressed like it myself.

ASOS, I made a post a few pages back with links etc http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=28150801&postcount=1298

Amazing blazers that are 100% wool and just ooze quality as well as fit very sharply. Essential for the wardrobe imo.

R.O.S.S.I said:
I bought that blazer in the blue colour and the brown colour. Both amazingly good quality jackets, got them when they were £100 a piece too so incredible value at £45 a pop.

One thing I can't understand with them though is they are both the same design, fit, etc but just different colours and I bought both of mine in the same size however the blue one feels slightly smaller than the brown one.

I can now confirm this is true, the blue one is very small under the arms, I'm very disappointed with that. Considering taking it to a tailor and seeing if they can loosen it up as it looks like it's an issue with the inner lining material stitched too tightly.

GarethSouthgate · 22 Nov 2015 at 16:36

Thanks but they're sold out in my size

In every blazer? Damn that's unlucky. What size are you?

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure but they probably sold a lot for this half price sale. Give them a call, they're nice people albeit busy.

Had these timbs for so many years and still aint broken them in yet, along with four other pairs of far more expensive boots.

oulton · 12 Dec 2015 at 20:31

ooooohhhhh expensive boots you high roller

tims lol

khemist · 12 Dec 2015 at 20:41

I'm just saying, i don't get any use out them and the others are not even touched yet, waste of money.

Glad i'm not a guy that follows fashion, i wear the same type of things i did when i was younger.

The only reason i bought the others was the price reduction.

smokedog · 12 Dec 2015 at 20:53

Just picked up these in the sales. I love them but even with 40% off it's still stupidly expensive, so in two minds if I should return them.

Do your shoes have a clasp? They're brown pixie boots but somehow worse and yes, you should take them back if you have any self respect or care for others who may view you wearing them.
