R.M. Williams Boots
Reginald Murray Williams would be chuffed to see his bespoke riding boots taking to the streets. Fenella Peacock (Ant!pod!um) originally introduced us to that special combination of ruggedness and femininity that can be achieved with frilly skirts and "blunnies". It seems that people listened, as stockman boots are stomping through trendy laneways right now.
One of a Kind
I assumed men like convenient, calm shopping. I asked one. He agreed. So if you generated a fit out with newsagent-style practicality and a 20th Century modern lounge room sensibility you're set, right?
Curtained by vines and suitably hidden on Darlinghurt's Darley Street, One of a Kind is just this.
Birthday Suit
The Emperor got around in his birthday suit when two sneaky weavers promised him the finest suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who was an incompetent ninny.

Handsom
A few years back my lovely grandmother gave me some spending money as a birthday gift. Being the narcissistic young man that I was, I rushed out and treated myself to an exorbitantly priced moss green blazer, complete with asymmetrical seams and tattered hems. I though I was the bomb shizzle. My grandmother, however, did not share the same enthusiasm.
