Amid the scarcity of decent fabric almost everywhere it does the heart good to visit the egg boutique in London. It’s not cheap but every textile in the place is beautiful and heavy and will last 15 years of good wear.

This is it 100% - there is no such thing as the objectively best garment to fit everyone. We all have different body geometry, taste, narratives in our head about who we want to be in the world.

An important part of my day job these days seems to be writing about people who dress interestingly. Here Renata Molho, queen of Italian fashion writing and friend of Armani and Romeo Gigli, who smashes together joy and dignity in a delightful way: www.instagram.com/p/DDtpTJzyv4...

Ah, happy to see one of my favourites from the other place here. An unlikely Japanese mascot every day.

I wrote a quite nerdy post about a Japanese menswear nerd who is the obsession of Reddit menswear forums (which are startling places sometimes, but they’re right about Noboru Kakuta) www.instagram.com/p/C3AgKjHJRc...

Back to the forest after a few weeks away, and it’s brilliant with frost and every step crunches. Sun is bright and low in the ice blue sky.

Eh, I was supposed to write about sparkly stuff for New Year’s Eve but got distracted by how hard it is to photograph dancefloors. I suck at current and timely posts instagram.com/p/C1e_hHhtsnL/

It’s properly wintery in the forest this morning. The trees are bare, the air is brisk and even the birds are subdued.

Good morning! It’s lovely in the forest this morning - the paths are all mud from last weeks rain but the sky is smudgy blue and it’s warm enough to go bareheaded.

We’ll the forest is full of percussive music this morning, with every branch dripping in a different note and cadence.

I wrote a little about corduroy today, and how its history is entwined with rebellion. It’s not just an excuse to post young mick jagger in a polo neck, though there is that too instagram.com/p/C0b3WJdt__S/
