Bloomin 'eck its getting cold...




Time for the winter wrap up! Gone are the days of excitedly regurgitating the fact that this is the hottest November on record for ages to whomever will politely pretend they haven't heard the newsflash already, a 'proper' coat is needed. Single or double breasted, sheerling is a winter winner.


Pay attention:





Burberry Prorsum (who have recently seen a massive growth in sales of late) proves classic luxury fabrications and heritage design are key to executing this stylish trend. Easy to do with a rabbit draped around ones neck, giving this wool and cashmere blend overcoat shear pazzazz.





Not to be outdone by the Brits, not that fashion is a competition or anything, The largest cashmere manufacturers globally, Loro Piani have made dolly into a delectable suede and 100% lamb skin coat. This must feel amazing to wear! One can dream...







Bringing up the shear, sorry... rear good old Ralphy (Purple Label) has brought us this deliciously dark Spanish sheerling made in Italy. I think Del Boy and Rodders will agree that dark and lovely is the way to go with sheep lined coats, Only Fools and Horses would disagree.

More Millerain



Oliver Spencer Navigator 100% British Millerain Waxed showerproof Jacket

The love for this jacket is all in the deets! The large field parka or hunting jacket style pockets, good for stashing everything from shotgun shells to iPhones. The lovely jetted pocket, its the hidden one on the right side of the jacket, our left, makes an unusual addition to a piece of outwear. Usually such specification is saved for formal tailored jackets/blazers. In my humble opinion this makes the jacket even more appealing as it cleverly blends classic and contemporary styles. To top it all off, the single L shaped breast pocket with contrast coloured button has to be the most eye catching feature on this understated piece of apparel.

Oh and if you did not know, Millerain is a British made (this is a rarity in itself), premium, waxed, performance fabrication. You know this is durable and quality material when the very same company makes military and medical performance wear, as has done so for over 200 years! Need I say more?

Getting this for sure!

Dresses and Skirts For Men

What to make of this? A dress for a man, or woman? Or is it unisex, inspired by womenswear modelled by a man, and coincidentally made by a menswear designer?

Does it even matter who it is made for or by? Are the garments nice? Doesn't that depend on what kind of body they are made to fit? Ummmm... I'll get back to you on this one...

P.S check out the mirt (Man Skirt) in the edit from the Givenchy post earlier this month

If Moncler Did Fencing...











I've always had a penchant for flashy sportswear but Moncler have taken things to a new level by incorporating key pieces of the kit into their A/W show. High speed sport rarely, if ever, translates into high fashion, as the second image personifies here. Black ankle biter skinnys, white fencing jecket jacket with a cropped military jacket on top, complete with white socks and plimsoles is a major faux pas. If The King of Pop can't pull it off during the peak of his career, HIStory tour in '95, Then nobody can! Otherwise the quilted full length breeches and Jacket with a Peru-1982-esque diagonal stripe most definitely works. Surely Olympic kits should look as good as this!!!!
