I’m back in London now freezing my tits off...from 32 degrees beach life to 0 degrees & snow in 24 hours! On the plus side I’ve reunited with Charlie dog and he is recovering well 🐾🖤 Here is a throwback to when @thisistimothy and I got a job on Gili Trawangan selling snorkelling tours...after no customers, we gave up on that dream and decided to post on Instagram instead! #gilitrawangan #GiliT #giliislands #indonesia #travel #menswearblogger #carlthompson #tblogger #beachlife

Seriously what an incredible trip to Bali I’ve had. Although, it was only a short trip it has been great in so many ways. But one thing really hit home. It was the simple things that made me the happiest such as the sound of the waves, the feeling of the sun on my face, the relaxing tropical rain, a warm shower, the people I met, the conversations I had, my morning walks on the beach at sunrise and the feeling I got in my heart when I thought about all the people in my life that I love. So if there is one person in your life right now that you’re grateful for, that you love but don’t tell them enough or at all...why not give them a call or send a text and let them know. You’ll feel amazing and you’ll make someones day.

Mission: to be able to walk around the house in the crab arched position and hold a headstand for 3 minutes. Who am I kidding, touching my toes would be a start! I’ve been told many times that stretching is as important as lifting weights when trying to build muscle mass which is why I’ve dipped my toes into Yoga whilst in Bali and will continue to do so when back in London. Namaste. 🙏🏽🧘🏽‍♂️ #Yoga #yogaposes #yogalife #fitness #bali #theudaya #theudayaresort #ubud #travel #holiday #menswearblogger #carlthompson #indonesia #tblogger 📸 Photo taken on @sonyalpha A7S2 (1/2000 F9.0 ISO 12800) 🏝 Photo location on the 3rd floor Open Air Yoga Studio @theudaya Resort in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia 🇮🇩

Spending my last day in Ubud working on the Tegallalang Rice Terrace 🌱Yeah right, I spent it eating and drinking as much local cuisine as possible! #Bali #BaliLife #BaliLivin #Tegallalang #tegallalangriceterraces #menswearblogger #indonesia #Travel #TBlogger #Holiday 📸 Photo taken on @sonyalpha A7S2 (1/250 F14 ISO 12800) at dawn in low light before the sun had risen above the horizon.

Just another day in paradise 🏝 Of course I would love to be out here longer but it’s nearly time to go home. I’m grateful that my parents have cared for Charlie which allowed me to still go away but for a shortened duration. The time I’ve had out here has helped me to regain my confidence and self belief. I’m feeling stronger, fitter and ready to take on the world again...bring on 2019, I’m going to make it a year never to forget for the right reasons. I’ve also missed Charlie dog so much and can not wait to see him 🥰🐾 Photo Credit goes to @thisistimothy 🙏🏽 #giliislands #gilitrawangan #frescobalcarioca #bali #indonesia #travel #gilit #tblogger #menswearblogger #carlthompson #carlthompsonblogger #holiday #beach #swimwear

Deep in thought 💭 Of so it seems, actually I’m just thinking about what to eat tonight Nasi Goreng or a seafood bbq, maybe both! 🙏🏽🏝🧘🏽‍♂️ Photo taken at dusk on a SONY a7s2 (1/200 F4.0 ISO 125) @theudaya resort in Ubud which is where I’m staying for my last nights here in Bali. #Ubud #Travel #Bali #BaliLife #baliindonesia #TheUdaya #TheUdayaResort #menswearblogger #tblogger #holiday #indonesia

THE CASHMERE CAMEL

April 11, 2016

The cashmere camel is not some scientific, genetic, breading experiment to make the perfect men's overcoat because that already exists with this Hawkins & Shepherd coat above! Over 50,000 of us per week are searching on Google for the words 'camel' and 'cashmere' together, so in this post I'm going to detail the differences between camel and cashmere fabrics and why they are the perfect all-season thread, not just in design but also in the technical properties of the fabric.
