Temperate limbo


The bank holiday is over, the children of those poor souls that have them are back at school, the traffic is getting worse and with it the temperature too. We are freezing, to the near point where stray fingers approach the boiler here at Established Man towers in a bid to turn the central heating on. Blankets are being prepared, shawls from the hills of Darjeeling readied and coats being sourced and dry-cleaned. We thought an Indian summer would prevail, how wrong we were! There's two words on our minds and its 'the Caribbean'.

So its time for autumnal layering in a grand way. Light knits, silk mix cashmere's, cotton-cashmeres, cardigans in light wool along with battered old military jackets or mac's seems to be the way forward. There have also been some evenings where nothing but a nice bit of padded Moncler feather-down could be better or a winter coat from Rag & Bone...anything to stay warm!
