Congratulations! Yes, that Saddle belt bag (with the detachable belt) holds exactly a card holder, and nothing more. It has gusseted sides which further reduce its capacity.

DH just got the cashmere pea coat which is very flattering on, and not as straight as the stock photo would suggest
www.dior.com
he is under 5’10, and relatively slim, with a bit of backside, size 50 French, and Japanese designers and brunello Cuchinelli tend to fit him well. He has muscular shoulders for his height and there is a big drop to his waist (so Dior suiting doesnt generally seem to be cut for someone of his body type). The length of the pea coat on his somewhat longer torso is about the length of older sports coats from maybe ten years ago. The impression is classic rather than fashion, and it could fit into either a sartorial or fashion wardrobe.
the pea coat is soft textured, but the cut is more structured (with less drape) than a comparable brunello pea coat from this season. Also the Dior is about 1K usd less than the brunello. Will eventually update with an action pic. Coat is currently in alterations
Peacoat Navy Blue Cashmere Cloth | DIOR
The navy blue peacoat is crafted in cashmere cloth and is embellished with 'DIOR'-engraved horn buttons. It features side slit pockets, notched lapels and signature Dior topstitching at the back. The elegant style is a classic wardrobe design.

Brunello Cucinelli has wonderfully luxurious clothes! Too bad they're not my style. I have an Ermenegildo Zegna full cashmere lining (done like velvety fur) and mohair jacket which feels so luxurious to the touch, but I only wear it to work now because the style is quite mature for my tastes.DH just got the cashmere pea coat which is very flattering on, and not as straight as the stock photo would suggest

DH and I are 53, so we’re both somewhat vintage lol
my SA and I tried to talk DH into a pale blue grey Dior bomber with two figures printed on it, but he said he would feel too self conscious 
. My issue is I wish some of the men’s collection was cut for women but there is no way it would fit (otherwise I would wear that bomber in a heartbeat). He and I both wear brunello pants, especially the cargos. I pair them with Dior and other designers.DH did speak to the Dior SA and SM at length re men’s suiting. Even my SA said he has to go up in size to accommodate his shoulders and then the rest of the Dior sportscoat body doesn’t work — you’d think bc it’s Dior, it would be slim cut all the way through but my SA who is tall and slim says he would essentially be the equivalent of size 48 shoulder and 44 body. . .
re brunello, it’s odd. our brunello SA says the way DH puts it all together is actually kind of Japanese crossed with Jil sander in style (and DH is Caucasian) so go figure
the zegna cashmere and mohair jacket sounds amazing! You can age into it, and in a few years, it will be vintage from your own closet
. In 1996, at the height of Prada, DH bought a techno and leather Prada jacket with silver zippers everywhere. After wearing it for a few seasons, we decided it was oddly both too fashion and too mature, so it was only this past year that we dug it out, had it refitted, and it’s now perfect in a vintage kind of way. (He purges stuff from his closet regularly, so there were many years when I had to shuffle it into my closet to save it.when I said the brunello pea coat drape is too mature, I think in the same kind of way that your Zegna may be . . .aunfortunately I took a pic of the brunello but not the Dior. The brunello is meant to beef up someone’s shoulders and skim over a boxier torso, so it’s just too much jacket — here it is. It makes DH look more beefy than he is — not a look he wants It’s also very relaxed Italian country, whereas the Dior is structured trim urban French. . .
Apologies for the lengthy OT. To bring this back to topic, I saw a Dior men’s sweater today that is oddly the same color palette as a chanel cityscape pull over for women this season. so I might try it on for myself next time I’m there. Agree with others who I believe had issues with a distorted Dior logo, but as an abstract repetitive pattern it might work for me

This oversized logo sweater from Dior is very nice. I have the one that came out from the Stussy collection but sadly with all the lockdowns during the cold season, I did not wear it out. I get warm very, very easily, so it would only have been appropriate for winter.DH and I are 53, so we’re both somewhat vintage lol

Out for a day of shopping with @averagejoe today!
OOTD was very basic as it is hot and humid in the city this past weekend. Loving the heat because the summers seem to pass so quickly in Canada, but it makes dressing up less appealing. Featuring my Saddle, and covered by my phone my new Navy necklace and Montaigne ring on my pinky.
Ended up with one of the Peter Doig camo silk shirts. Love this take on camo, and this colorway was fun. Also love that there is some oblique but it’s hidden in the camo so it’s more subtle.

Oddly the Saddle looks the most useful in your collection of adorable mini bags. It actually looks like it can fit more than the rest. Do you find that to be true? I saw the same Fendi First today in person and it is adorable, but the SA said it doesn't even fit any credit cards due to its shape.
This is correct…the Nano Fendi First is useless. My car fob only fits if I smash it uncomfortably in. No credit cards
for sure. It’s a charm or coin purse, at best. The LV can hold a couple of cards actually, but either the cards OR the car key, not both like the Dior.
I was out for a shopping and wearing my Dior shirt from SS20. Eventually picked up this hat from Louis Vuitton 
Nice! Are you from Hong Kong, by the way? If you are, then I'm impressed how you can be dressed so heavily in such a humid environment!I was out for a shopping and wearing my Dior shirt from SS20. Eventually picked up this hat from Louis Vuitton

The LV store looks so different from what I'm used to, too. It doesn't look like LV except for the logos on the mirror.
My first pair of Dior sunglasses since Kim Jones became the creative director of Dior Men, and since Dior moved their production from Safilo group to Thelios to become more vertically integrated. There is a noticeable difference in the packaging. The case is much nicer than before. It even comes with a detachable Oblique piece which I think is in case someone wants to clip this onto a belt (the patch can have a belt threaded through it).
The arm of the sunglasses really sold me. They are completely horizontal instead of vertical, with a mirrored Dior logo (the mirror effect is not showing on the pictures).
I had to get prescription lenses in them, hence the thicker lenses.

In montreal for the weekend and decided to debut the new Peter Doig shirt. Little did I know when I was getting ready this morning we would be climbing Mont Royal lol. But this would be very on brand for me considering the last time I did this I had my new Diorissimo on for the ride.
Here’s the OOTD:
Winter 20/21 camo top
Summer 20 saddle
Assorted bracelets from various season from the women’s collection

yes, summer in HK is absolutely horrible. I would only dress like this when there is an occasion. Have you been to HK before?
it is the flagship store in HK.
