Hermes 32mm belt kit.

Hermes Belt, an Iconic design. This is in my eyes the best belt ever!!! with an array of different colours and buckles it's almost perfect.....yeah almost, just the small matter of cost....Oh well I've heard Primark do something similar in the 'Hernandez'

Superga's!!!


Great pump for the summer, If it was down to me it'd be
white every time, but unfortunately this is England, you don't
want to be planning ahead to wear your favorite sneakers!

Levis sawtooth denim shirt.


As far as the denim shirt craze is concerned
this is one of my favourite's, not gonna break no bank
nor look 'tacky'. I must admit I've tried to scrimp on
the denim shirt phenomenon, doesn't get you anywhere,
buy the good one from day one.....Oh and erm.....do your
research, there is a fine line.

Burberry, Military wool pea coat.


How can you go wrong with a pea coat?
looks good with everything, This wool
Number from Burberry really stands out
above all the other sub standard version's.

Vans 106 vulcanized

The 106 Vulcanized is your Classic style shoe modelled after the
ever popular Chukka Low, Awesome summer trainer.

James Smith & Sons Umbrellas.

Polished Maplewood solid umbrella. Each umbrella is
handmade and measured and cut according to your height.

Rotary Les Originales watch

Dress watch for under £200, when you have to compromise
this is a classy watch with a not so classy price tag . My other
watch is a Patek Philippe.....


ASOS Slim fit overdyed chino.


Great cut chino from ASOS, a very reasonable
price too. They really compliment a boat shoe, loafer,
suede shoe and even plimsoll/ trainer.

Bates gentlemen's hatters, Jermyn St, London.

The classic rolling panama for the festival
season from bates hatters on Jermyn St. Fairly
costly at £165 but every Gent should own one.


Burberry double breasted cotton trench.


The Burberry trench for those 'April showers'.
A 'chic' look whether casual or formal.
