I've often wondered where she shops.

Most men buy this type of shirt to annoy their wives - I've been guilty of it. I even bought some on-one Hawaiian shirts! 😀

Yup, catalogue came with the MBUK I get instead of Dirt.

On the bright side, my free beeny makes me look like a fat, forty year old Rachel Atherton.

I wonder what this season's concept is - Balmoral x Camden x lumberjacks?

Almost enough to make me run out and buy MBUK.

To be honest, a lot of May's floral shirt patterns are classic Liberty prints, I recognise them as I have several myself, that I've had made for me, as Liberty's off the peg stuff doesn't fit me too well.

The off the peg stuff is typically about £135+ - Designers like Simon Carter use a lot of Liberty print, and I think Paul Smith and Ted Baker use a little from time to time, but Liberty prints are pretty much the "go to" when a mens designer of any class look to make a floral print.

Other people who wear them say when you watch the telly, are typically types like Jason Manford, Jimmy Carr, that sort of profile. Theres always a Liberty print somewhere on a telly near you worn by a minor celeb.

They're great, they don't date, they dont go out of fashion, as they're never at the red hot end of fashion, they're just artfully designed patterns that look great imho on a shirt.

You spend £135 on each of these? I'm not going to pretend I'm even remotely fashionable, but I bet I can look cooler than you for a fraction of the price!

You already probably are much cooler than me. I'm the least cool person I ever saw. Thats the point. I don't care about being cool. But to have shirts that are up to a couple of decades old, that the pattern still really pleases me, that the fit is still good on (ie not subject to the vagaries of fashion) is worth more than a shirt a few quid less that ends up in a charity shop or thrown away after 5.
