Folk AW11 Wool Overcoat

This one's a beaut. Available in charcoal, midnight, stone and white (not sure about that last one), Folk's Wool Overcoat makes a nice alternative to the ubiquitous peacoat this season.

Deck Jackets for AW11

Ok, the truth is you're more likely to be wearing these walking down to Tesco's, rather than on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. But you'll still appreciate the warmth they'll offer in the face of a chill autumn wind. Not to mention the opportunity to look a bit like a young Paul Newman.

The Rum Diary

Some production shots from the forthcoming Johnny Depp movie, The Rum Diary. Directed by Withnail's Bruce Robinson, the Rum Diary is based on the Hunter S Thompson novel and set in Puerto Rico during the sixties. Judging from the shots, Depp is looking very well groomed and not at like Captain Jack.

Vintage Rolex GMT Master 6542

Saw this 1960s Rolex 6542 (the model without the crown guards) at a shopping centre in Malaysia while I was on holiday recently. It was being sold at the bargain price of just £6450 (converted from Malaysian currency). If I'd had the money I would have bought it on the spot. Anyway I went back a few days later and it had been sold.
