Dior Cashmere Pea coat

As mentioned in my denim shirt article, I was swayed by a junior colleague’s comment: ‘Wouldn’t it be splendid to effortlessly wear Dior at sixty?’ Consequently, I purchased several Dior pieces this year. The main item is the cashmere peacoat featured here. Peacoats and duffle coats are items I favour, but finding one that truly suits me these days has proven rather difficult. This Dior cashmere peacoat, however, stands out. Compared to standard melton peacoats,...

A-2 REAL McCOY’S

For those aged 50 and above, when asked to picture vintage leather items, the A-2 flight jacket worn by the US Air Force during the Second World War likely springs to mind first. Even those uninterested in vintage clothing and unfamiliar with the name “A-2” will recognise the silhouette of leather jackets inspired by this design – the collar, shoulder epaulettes, and flap pockets on both sides – as a familiar sight. Since 2010, military-style...

Dior Over Shirt (Black Denim)

A vintage-washed denim shirt crafted from a substantial 13.5-ounce fabric. Featuring Dior’s signature clean, straight-cut lines, it offers an impeccably flattering silhouette when worn. Introduction. Twenty years ago, I purchased and cherished shirts and knitwear from the Edie Slimane era of Dior Homme at Barneys New York. However, as I grew older, I wore them less frequently and eventually passed them on to a younger colleague. After that, I had no further connection with Dior...

iPhone16 Pro

Although there have been improvements in performance and functionality, I feel that this is a prototype of the next-generation iPhone designed to meet the demands of the AI era. iPhone Smartphones have continued to evolve, and even the iPhone, which I used to upgrade every two years, has been in use for five years without feeling the need for an upgrade since switching to the iPhone 11 Pro Max. After five years of use, with...
