He mailed me this morning and i quote:

"The fit is nailed."

The fit is great, but even on an iPhone screen the fabric looks out of this world. Texture and depth for days.

Selfedge has done Black Friday sales the last 2 years,offering a 15% discount. I’ve managed to score both times. Have my eyes on a couple of things.

Unfortunate for me since I wear the most common size in existence which is usually the first to sell out (large)

I need to read that one - I watched one of his Ted Talks and he seems like a brilliant business man and good all around person

Are you on your way back to G'port?

Sadly, nowhere that naturally beautiful.  Just Fiji.

My heart goes out to him in this time of misfortune.

That’s a shit gig. Tragic really. He’ll probably have to go around fishing all day too.

This is my Kanreki present to myself….....a bit of diving and some fishing.....

It's a very long story, but the short version is....

Giles meets great South African (Chad) when fishing in Oman.  Form firm friendship.
Chad tells Giles he is building an eco fishing lodge on a remote island in Fiji (it's called Yacata - Google it).
Giles says, oh great I'll come and spend my 60th there.
Chad says, won't be finished.  Then in off hand way says "we're looking for investors"
Giles spends days working out how to broach subject of investing in a mad adventure with Paula.  Plucks up courage and blurts it out.
Paula says "fuck yeah".
Giles picks himself up off the floor.
We invest.
We are in Fiji.
Lodge not built.
Probably end up sleeping on beach.
Neither of us has ever been so excited about something in our lives.....
