More from TK Maxx

Well, I did it again; I went to TK Maxx and bought a shirt, a pair of trousers and a pocket square. Just because I make and sell bespoke shirts does not stop me buying ready to wear shirts and this time it was a burgundy check button down from Hackett with a Brompton Collar for £30. A real steal in my opinion. The shirt is made from quite a nice Italian 100's fabric. No idication of the mill from which it was sourced, but Hackett do often use Thomas Mason. A great shirt which fits reasonably well, but looks great for days out at the weekend.
The trousers I purchased were a herringbone navy pair made by Acquascutum. Normally £99 i got these for £30. They were probably part of a suit originally, but I will be able to find a use for them. Again, a bargain for a really high quality article of clothing.
The pocket square does not have a brand on it, but it is a gorgeous blue and white polka dot made from particularly nice silk. the only thing letting it down is that the edges are not hand rolled, but machined. owever, for £4 what can you expect!
