Normally the sartorial territory of ship captains and French film stars, the rarified double breasted blazer is hitting city streets in updated, more off-beat versions. The spring/summer trend is still ultra refined, but now works with denim (in a shorter length), work-worthy suiting, sleek social or imposing formal looks. The DB blazer elevates the simple to slick- there is an interpretation for every man.

Target Practice For Spring 2014 With Blue Industry
Blue Industry strikes their target spot on with distinctly wearable and sporty separates. Characterized by a athletic silhouette and masculine textiles, the line’s individual elements are compelling enough to stand alone, yet layer exceptionally well. Classically cut shirts and jackets are all designed with purpose and precision to imbue the wearer with confidence in their sartorial status- even when they miss target practice.
Here is a taste of our latest Spring 2014 arrivals.
#GSVSGQ Making Luxury Style Affordable
Let’s start by saying that we have much respect for the GQ brand and it’s unprecedented contribution to the growth of the men’s fashion scene the world over. They are the go-to resource for pretty much everything from latest trends, guides, tips and tricks. However, one thing they are not is affordable. Let’s be honest who’s seriously running to their nearest men’s fashion retailer to buy a $4,000 suit or a $20,000 watch?! Not the average person that’s for sure. Having said that, just because you can’t afford the big brand labels doesn’t mean you can’t get the same look at a price point more suited to your wallet. And, we’re here to prove it!
In our #GsVsGQ Runway To Reality series we aim to take some of your favourite looks from GQ, and show you how you can get them at the fraction of the cost. In this feature we take on NBA superstar Lebron James and his latest spread for GQ.
Spring New Arrivals By Oscar of Sweden
Just in, great new shirts by Oscar of Sweden, a family run business that has been crafting shirts for 60 years. Oscar shirts offer an impeccable fit, great quality and craftsmanship at a price you’ll love. They are also one of the few brands that offer intermediate sizes such as 37, 39, 41, 43, 45 and 47 that helps reduce the gap between sizes and enables us to assist you in finding that perfect fit. This also means your shirt will fit perfectly, even if you need to go up or down a size a true luxury in world where everything “standardized” and mass produced.
Check out our latest arrivals and some colours to your Spring wardrobe.
It’s Ok To Be A Square
Some times it’s the littlest things that make this biggest difference, and pocket squares are definitely one of those little things. They have this miraculous ability to transform any outfit with a swift fold and tuck. Pocket squares can be worn at anytime, place, or function, and with any outfit. Whether you’re tying it around your neck, tucking it in the front chest pocket of your chambray shirt or sportcoat or adding it to your suit or tuxedo, the square has this ubiquitous sartorial influence over all things it touches. In celebration of this little big thing, we bring you our latest Spring ’14 arrivals from brands like Braemore, Amanda Christensen, Circle of Gentlemen and Duchamp London.
