What jeans are in the picture from 2 months ago? They are being worn with suede chelsea boots in a side profile pic. They look like Levis. Which year and model?
Those are probably Alan wearing a pair of Uniqlos!
Dying to know: In http://thearmoury.tumblr.com/post/2953395438/rather-nice-drakes, what color and description is the Drake's tie? Damn gorgeous.
Hi Anon,
It was a navy herringbone cashmere, unfortunately it’s all gone this year both on our side and at the Drakes website but it will be back this winter!
They do have the regular cashmeres but not in the herringbone pattern.

Are the jeans in the last added pic Albam jeans? If so what model and fit are they? Do you sell them at The Armoury? -Wes
Hi Wes,
Yes, they are from Albam, just the regular straight leg. I’m a big fan of Albam but unfortunately we do not sell them.

In response to Anonymous's request for quality jeans, I debated whether to get 45r at HK $6000+. I proceeded to purchase two pairs of Uniqlo jeans, purportedly with Japanese selvage; produced in China for HK$ 299 each. I am no jean fascist and I can't tell the difference and would rather spend money on well made suits
Well, there will be a differences (some more subtle than others) but at the end of the day, just depends on the person wearing them and how much they would appreciate these details.
Ethan is frothing at the mouth slightly from your statement because he’s a big denim head but Alan and I are generally happy with our Uniqlo’s, APC’s and Albams. The bang-for-the-buck from Uniqlo certainly is good.
Hi, what are those shoes? http://thearmoury.tumblr.com/post/2384098933/ring-jacket-red-black-checked-sport-jacket
Gaziano & Girling custom order. They’re pretty similar to a model called the “Hayes”, though.
