Missing mojo and 4th birthday celebrations | Norton of Morton

For a couple of months, my mojo has been missing. I penned something about feeling out of sorts back in July.

Well, chumrades, you will be delighted to discover that I have now been reunited with it.

It turns out, my mojo wasn’t really missing at all, I’d merely left it in a drawer and forgot all about it!

As luck would have it, the triumphant return of my mojo has coincided with this periodical’s fourth birthday celebrations. My first ever periodical entry can be found this way.

Much Champagne has been guzzled and the finest food has been greedily gobbled up (any excuse). As is tradition here at Norton of Morton, I enjoy being a little reflective about the last 12 months. You may have noticed that the previous year, my periodical was awash with free stuff that was sent to me.

Well, for the last year I’ve purposely declined all manner of things as I wanted to write about the things that mattered to me.

Only a few things sneaked through, including the made to measure shirt from Santamaria Shirt Makers; a pair of tweed brogues from Eves & Gray; a faux fur collar from Peckham Rye; and my absolute favourite, a signet ring from Rebus. All worthy stuff to grace the periodical, I ‘m sure you agree.

So what else? 

You may have noticed a lot of film references over recent time. The reason for that is simple, I’m enjoying an illicit affair with films, particularly British ones. 

I also have a little news. Excitingly, I’ve just had my first piece published for the incredibly popular American site, Vintage Dancer. 
Providing they continue to like me, you will find regular menswear articles on there by little old me. Of course, as it’s an American website, I’ve had to adapt my language a little and replace practically every menswear term I use with an American version. 

For instance:

  • Cravat becomes ascot
  • Waistcoat becomes vest
  • Trousers become pants
  • Braces become suspenders
  • Co-respondents become spectators

So naturally, my poor Norton head is spinning a little. 

Anyway, that’s enough prattling on for now. I’m off to scoff some more delicious delicacies. 

Pip-pip!
