I think we could do with a new sub-forum dealing with these matters. One of the PH blokes was going to sort it out, but hasn't done so.

AskAndy?

Styleforum is a good one too.

Maybe we could have a "Show us your pocket square" thread on here...

I predict it wouldn't go well.

Are you suggesting posters who have no interest in pocket squares would "contribute"?

Surely not.

Cheers. The world famous PH search function brings up TVR engine rebuild and Golf R remap threads for everything I type in.

For obvious reasons I've chosen a non-carpeted room.

No, I don't have elephantiasis in my left knee. It's because my knee is closer than my feet (see Father Ted for a full explanation of the difference between small and far away).

No, those aren't the trousers I'll be wearing with them.

What can possibly go wrong...

On the subject of these shoes - they are Grenson by the way - the top of the left backstay cuts into my delicate flesh just a little.

I presume a shoe repairer could ease the problem, but is there a home remedy?

Depends how reinforced the back is but I would have thought this would be a good start.

Ah, I've heard of this stuff. I'd be concerned about turning my nice, stiff shoes into a pair of carpet slippers though. I need to visit civilisation tomorrow, so perhaps I will pop into a shoe repairer and see what they have to say... probably, "here, buy a can of this, Sir".

Okay, the answer for anyone similarly afflicted is this. Heat the offending area with a hair dryer and give the leather a good thumbing to soften / stretch it. Problem solved.

Wore these for the first time at a track day last Sunday:



Very comfortable they were too
