It's that time of year and we are starting to phase in new stock.

As well as the new ready to wear which starts hitting the stores this weekend we have a new collection of ties.

We are really excited by the knit ties in winter colours: Fuchsia, Electric Blue and Cyan.

Always good to see one of our suits on the TV, even better when its on the red carpet at the Oscars and its accepting an award.

Congratulations to Kim Sinclair for winning the award for Set Decoration on Avatar and for looking so good in a Crane Brothers Tux. 

The pocket square was a nice touch.

NO Magazine is out this week and with it the first glimpse of our new campaign for our first ever ready to wear collection. Isaac Likes filmed the day last week and has posted a video on his site.

More this week

I woke up this morning feeling stiff and sore. Then I realised that yesterday I went Kayaking with the kids to Puhoi.

This photo is off their website as I didn't take my camera but if you have a Sunday spare and think what can I do today try this.

I was in a two seater as I had a non rowing pillion passenger (his rowing was a hindrance more than a help). Also make sure you slip slop and slap. I was a little lapse on the slopping and have very sore knees today.

This is a fun day out and if a city slicker fancy designer type like myself can do it anyone can.
