Thanks for compiling! Great list with great recs that I would not have thought of, grateful, for the inspiration.

Quick note- on Campbell's of Beauly rec: Beautiful sweaters! But a slight typo...

It’s the bad editor who blames Auto-Correct!

Reached middle age and found myself shopping for vintage rugs often this year rather - cheaper than cars more expensive than nearly anything else! I think Michael said on last weeks Central Division that buying vintage is the highest form of taste - I’ll keep telling myself that to feel better.

The world of rugs is very rewarding. Maybe too rewarding!

Thanks David! Unfortunately, I only see suits on the instagram, and only see suits and flats on the website. Am I missing something?!

Sorry, it was on Instagram Stories. You can DM Clementina and they can send you images. Thanks!

The wife and I have decided to invest in experiences instead of gifts this year. We went to Las Vegas in October (U2 at The Sphere). As a family we are going to Punta Cana in March (Spring Break) and Italy in June. At my age I don’t need any clothes and my kids are getting older (high school) and spending time together is the greatest gift.

Experiences for sure. Add a fly fishing trip in there!

I'd like a nice pistol for shooting the ornaments off the tree, having polished off a jug of eggnog.

The only news I get comes in the FT Weekend, which arrives here in the French countryside the Wednesday after the w-e. My wife liked the Seamaster, so thank you for that excellent idea.
