I know what you mean, it looks fine when you leave for work but after a 90 minute commute you arrive looking like Martin Bell on a particularly grueling 'breaking news' trip to the Middle East when he only had 10 minutes to pack.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -

I'm wearing a linen-silk mix jacket at the moment. Keeps it's shape very well. This is my recommendation. Fantastic fabric. Not in the least bit cheap though.Originally posted by Pogle View PostEvery bloomin year I do this!
The minute It gets sunny I go out and buy linen trousers & tops - which look great for exactly 9 mins 13 secs - then they look as if you've slept in them for 12 weeks
Why do I do this?
I have discovered spray starch - which does help when you iron them, but It only puts off the inevitable 'bag lady' look
Do men have similar wardrobe annoyances..
I suspect not.
Ps - VERY bored
Plain linen is garbage unless you're on a beach in the Carribean.Comment

Englischergarten is a must mate. Especially the Biergarten by the Chinese tower. You can settle down under a tree with a nice Mass of beer, shades on and just, well, err.... watch the world go by.
Just gotta be careful not to end up the other end though, you know, where all the oldies let it all hang out.
