I will do one of these about cash ca during my layover in hk tomorrow morning.

[ramseames]

This is why I like doing stuff like this, you learn something new most of the time.

Turns out Cash CA is from 1999 and was originally established as a womenswear line of cashmere and merino knits. Their menswear is much more recent and is a collaborative effort between the brand's lead women's designer Craig Alexander (interview: ), who's also a "knitwear design consultant for a number of UK companies such as Margaret Howell, Alan Paine and John Smedley", and Kazuki Kuraishi, who does many things but is Japanese so not really what the thread is about (interview: ).

They did a collab with 6876 that's on its second season:

St George's day is the day I can't tell racists from normal folks due to the masses of red crosses about.

Normally paint my face with one if I'm going out to avoid getting my head kicked in (joke)

TENDER TYPE 420 SHIRT. similar to this one: http://www.tenderstores.com/type-420-ve ... ote-shirt/
picked this up at a local shop (delstore).

I've always been interested in tender so when I got the chance to pick this up on sale I jumped on it. Not really sure how to describe it so I'll just list the things I like about it.

- it's a lovely ecru colour with light blue train track like stripes all throughout the shirt. I like how the pockets the the cuffs alternate the direction of the stripes.
- I like how small the cuffs are. it makes it easy to cuff them and also looks good unrolled.
- I like the looser fit, especially in the arms. the back hem is incredible as well, a sort of graceful tail that flows behind me
- i like the sizing on tender. I can be pretty sure that a size 2 is going to fit me, and in pinch size 3 would do as well.
- collar is incredible, very warped and quite short. It lays kind of spread open when I don't button it up all the way which is cash.
- construction is good i guess. i mean it's not falling apart or anything. I don't like to go on about that kind of stuff anyways and I get the sense that bill kroll isn't interested in the heritage for heritage's sake kind of person.
- the logo is cute
-can imagine it will look better worn in.

overall very impressed with tender. I have a woad dyed shirt and pants as well and they are nice too. given the opportunity, i would certainly pick up more items.

can you confirm that there is no collar band? cant tell from pics. also looks like there is no yoke. very cool how the box pleat starts at the top by the collar.

[smiles]

don't think so. here's some more pictures. The new shirts have no shoulder seams which sounds awesome.

Folk always get slept on.









Though looking at their website, their pricing isn't fucking around and their models look a bit chiefesh. That said I think I'll get that shirt jacket

[Syeknom]

Folk stuff is so nice in person but every time I want to buy a piece I realise there's something about it that I don't like and I back out.

I fear I'm not quite whimsical enough for them :(

I did the last five days in Norfolk, and whilst wandering around Holt I stumbled upon the Old Town store:



Great place, friendly people, garmz are lovely. Didn't realise everything they did was MTO but that just makes it cooler. I bought a long coat which I have no use for. Will post a pic when it gets into a fit.
