Pink Thursday. My go-to combo at the moment has got to be a knit tie & batik pocket square. Nothing like a bit of colour to brighten up the day. Malaysia boleh!

Double Pocket Square. I'm probably breaking some style rule here but note the double pocket square. The pink one on the jacket and a subtle white one on the waistcoat.

Saturday style. Ahh... the lazy Saturday. Where you can sleep in, lounge around and do some chores. Time to dress like a dag... NOT!

Blackwatch Tartan. Did you know that tartans have names? Anyway, the Blackwatch Tartan is definitely one of my favourites. Several years ago, I ordered a cheap shirt on ASOS but they sent me the wrong shirt! It was an oversized (L) Blackwatch Tartan shirt by Ralph Lauren. So I thought what the heck, might as well use it! Got it taken in at the sides by a tailor and its good to go!

Batik Pocket Square. Recently, I was thinking of ways to represent my country Malaysia with my sartorial choices. Unfortunately, Malaysia is not exactly a stylish country. But I thought of something - batik. Batik is an art of decorating cloth using wax and dye which is popular in Malaysia as well as Indonesia. Although I couldn't find a Malaysian company that creates batik pocket squares, I found a seller on Etsy that does. Batik Studio on Etsy which is run by an American lady, oddly enough.

Navy Fur Felt Fedora by Christys' London. For many years I was thinking of adding a proper hat to my hat collection and I recently had a great idea. It occurred to me that navy is a great basic colour but yet an uncommon colour for hats. Also, the fact that navy is probably my most worn colour means that I would have little issues matching the hat with my wardrobe. I made the trip to City Hatters and got myself a navy fur felt fedora by Christys' of London. Apparently, you can roll the hat up and store it in a cylinder when you travel!

Moving to a new suburb means getting to know the different shops and services around the area. Today I found a new alterations tailor - Roger's Tailoring and made a trip to our local Woolies @ The Links for a grocery run.
