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.
Eeww!!

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.

Originally posted by BlightyBoy View PostI bought a very sharp looking, and expensive, may I add, linen suit in Venice.
Looked good in the shop, looked good on the hanger in my wardrobe.
Didn't last the 9 minutes that your's did Pogle.
Complete waste of money.
Linen's only good for tea-towels IMO.

And...
This kind of logic doesn't apply to women buying clothes!
Or buy better quality

I think the trick is to buy Linen Mix (although I have no idea what it's mixed with!) That seems to keep it's shape a bit longer than just Linen.
Pogle I am the same as you - I have more linen in my wardrobe than I can handle but I love it for summer and for holidays

Starting to get very sunny and warm here in Bayern. Looking forward to the crop-tops and low-cut blouses coming out....
