Things I adore
(and will take with me)
Udeshi - Tropical Tunic in Olive Linen
Having tried a number of such tunics across makers, this is by far the most historically accurate version on the market, with exceptional attention to detail. I also have this in navy cotton.

J&R Guram - Colonel Tod's Field Desk
A trip across high Asia in style would not be complete without such a desk upon which to collect one's thoughts. I will have this shipped to China and take it with me.
Brockman's Gin
In my view, the best all-round gin available on the market today, paired with tonic (containing quinine) a must-have for any Eastern adventurer. I wonder how many bottles will fit in the vehicles...

Arcteryx - Alpha SV Hardshell
Long crowned the golden standard for miserable weather; if suitable for the wild rains of British Columbia then suitable (with some insulation layers of course) for the Pamirs in my view!
Udeshi - Extreme Cutaway Collar Shirts
My quest for the perfect shirt collar and cuffs finally ended here, and you can get them in numerous fabrics and colours, what's not to like?!
J&R Guram - Scinde Saloon Chair
Naturally, a writing desk is not complete without a matching chair in beautiful rosewood and canvas.
Omega - Seamaster 300 (Titanium)
If you want to pay half the price of a sub for a better and lighter metal, with equivalent specs and in my view better tech, look no further. Enough to trade one's way out of a cell, or worse.
Crockett & Jones - Coniston in rough-out suede
For a few years now these simultaneously elegant and rugged boots have long been companions to my feet, they shall join me in all but the most rugged alpine conditions.
