I really like Vilebrequin swimming shorts.
A shame they’re so bloody expensive ($160!). You can pick them up in the UK from their store in the Burlington Arcade, Piccadilly or in Selfridges.
Enough time has passed since Inspector Gadget, Inspector Clouseau & Lieutenant Columbo (err… is there some sort of connection here?). Trench coats are apparently the in thing again now…
The stalwarts appear to be Burberry :(, Aquascutum & Dunhill (whose effort is featured in this month’s “new look” Esquire, P.124 at the snip of £695).
However all of these seem a bit stuffy compared to the one winking at me from my favourite shop, (yes Reiss again) which has a few contemporary touches and avoids beige banality by adding a touch of khaki to its colouring. Only downside is it’s not cheap (£250), and I don’t think I can wait for another sale. So feel free to click on any of the google text ads to your right to assist the trench coat fund 😉
Why does the Paul Smith shop in Floral Street close at 7pm on a Thursday (the “official” late night shopping night)?
Answer me!
PS – a tip for Paul Smith fans, go in and sign up to their mailing list. You will receive flyers in advance of sales which allow you to claim a 50% discount (average discounts are 30-40% so you could save £100 on a suit).
A cool fashion / homeware / gadgets / etc shop with an online store and branches in Carnaby St & Liverpool.
I particularly like this Snoopy sweatshirt (although the original t-shirt which I saw in Liberty was more my thing)
Some junk mail through the door informs me that both Liberty & Paul Smith start their Summer Sale on 28th June.
Saw this t-shirt in Soho the other day, which made me laugh.
Unfortunately I now have officially too many Howies items*, but if you don’t why not check out their new collection hot off the press.
*Although, I reserve the right to buy the Custard Big Buck shirt at some point.
