Review: Piper Speciale quilted jacket from English Utopia
In which G.M. Norton finds a new way to keep off the autumn chill.
You may recall that last year, I worked myself into a relative lather over my Floyd tweed jacket from English Utopia.
Well, I’m now in proud possession of one
of their quilted jackets – their Piper Speciale to be precise. Colour options
include black and navy, but being a traditionalist, I opted for the time-honoured
olive.

On film: Kingsman - The Golden Circle
In which G.M. Norton indulges in a little escapism.
Yesterday, my beloved and I sloped off for a pleasant afternoon together. After a nice spot of something to eat, we ambled over to the local picture
house to watch Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
I love the cinema. There’s something
about the darkness and relative solitude (I usually avoid times where it will
be particularly busy as unless I’m feeling particularly extrovert, I detest
crowds and noise). The last film that I watched at the cinema was Dunkirk,
which I actually went to alone. It was the first time that I’ve ever gone to
the cinema on my own and it was absolutely wonderful. I felt like Don Draper
sneaking away from the office to be transported to somewhere else for a couple
of hours. Bliss.

Being a jerk
In which G.M. Norton ponders a potential purchase.
Now chums, I've been mulling over a purchase for a good year or so - a reproduction leather jerkin, worn by British armed forces in both world wars.
Robert Shaw worn one alongside Barbara Bach and Harrison Ford in war flick, Force 10 from Navarone.
