Umbrella Man

It's an all too often sight in this day and age.
When the weather turns typically British and the heavens open, you will notice how a well dressed individual can suddenly be relegated in the fashion stakes to a walking faux pas.
Telescopic, flimsy or golf umbrellas appear from nowhere to down grade and ruin perfectly thought out outfits...
Sound a bit dramatic? I don't think so.

If you're going to make all that effort with your daily appearance then why let your standards slip when water starts falling from the sky, surely this should be the time to capitalise on other people's short sightedness.

Try Fox umbrellas for truly elegant and sophisticated examples. They stock their product online, or through Huntsman and Gieves & Hawkes on Savile Row.

Only thing you now need to remember is not to leave it on the bus!

Images 5-8 show how investing in these fine crafted accessories won't just ensure you stay well turned out and dry. Hanging from a moose's head or planted in a pocelin vase by the front door, it's that traditional touch you should always try to find, but more importantly it's a stern nod to an ever glowing craft.

The Moon's a Balloon - Part 10

Part 10 of Niven's auto biography reflects on his first days as a Hollywood actor and how he gate crashed the film industry on a battleship.

Dunhill Spring/Summer 11

Here's something to get you through the approaching abyss that are the winter months. The S/S/11 Dunhill collection my Kin Jones harks back to elegant dress of yest er year while capturing a modern edge.
I've never really warmed to the double breasted look but this was the wake up call I now know I needed. Short boxy jackets with slim ankle swinging trousers, finished off with leather accessories that Dunhill has become famed for.

Note the hip flask slotted into the waistcoat in picture 6.

Now wrap up, get comfy and dream of next summer. 1)

The Moon's a Balloon - Part 1

If you ever find yourself alone one night and you need a comforting push to send you to sleep then you could do far worse then listening to an extract of The Moon's a Balloon. Read by the man himself, this autobiography paints a tale so lavish, stylish and handsome that it will leave you numb.

Fashion icon, English gent supreme and all round good egg, David Niven wrote the rules on decorum, grace and how to live life. I think you'll agree that they don't make them like this anymore.

Cheers David!
