Ovadia & Sons fall plaid wool tie.

Knots like a beaut.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of these in the post. Ovadia & Sons lambswool flannel trousers in heathered blue, lambswool cargo trousers in light grey and a burgundy/deep green plaid wool tie.

These pictures don’t do them justice — the blue has a fantastic richness about it that pops out (in the best sense), the cargo’s texture is visually gorgeous and the colour combination on the tie is perfectly balanced. That’s just visually speaking — the trousers are remarkably comfortable and oh-so soft to the touch. Can’t wait to get these back from the tailors and start wearing them about town.

I have a lot of time for the Ovadia brothers. In my opinion they’ve been consistently bringing out superb, well considered products over the past year. My congratulations, keep up the great work and thank you!

Again, nearly had it. Think I need to pour closer to the coffee…

Started off okay, then lost it half way through…

Would have liked the rosetta a little bigger, but the milk consistency was decent.
