My Personal Favourites

John Smedley Knitwear. I dont put on knitwear very often but, when I do, it's always by Smedley ! Beautiful fabrics combined with modern (and retro) styling all add up to a fantastic product. Great worn casually with jeans and thin enough to wear under a suit (which, by the way, does create a very nice shape if you dont sport the washboard stomach of your youth !) At present I own a cardigan, V-neck and a rollneck...this combination seems to cater for any occassion.

My Personal Favourites

Fox Umbrella. I have used fox umbrellas for years and, apart from looking great, I have found them to be 100% reliable. Very well priced considering the heritage (since 1868 I believe) and quality of the product. I am very tempted by the red leather contrast stitching on the handle (shown below) currently being offered by the company....very sharp !

My Personal Favourites

Knitted silk scarf by Kilgour. Yes, Kilgour again but their knitted silk accessories are superb ! I have one of these in black and it looks great casually with a crisp white shirt and jeans or more formally with a suit.

Aspinal Leather Wallet

Handmade in beautiful Black English Bridle Leather this Aspinal Exotic Billfold Wallet has been luxuriously lined in red snakeskin. The snakeskin is not only very soft but due to the dyes which have been applied during the finishing process, they have a glistening almost translucent finish.

Aspinal, if requested, can also monogram the wallet for you either in gold or hot-stamp.

Other inside colours are available but I LOVE this red one. One of my next purchases !

My Personal Favourites

Rolex stainless steel Daytona (above) and Rolex stainless steel Submariner Date. Over the years I have dabbled with many watch brands but always come back to Rolex. These two sports models are amongst my favourite.

My Personal Favourites

Blackberry Bold Smartphone. Ok, maybe a slight departure from the normal thread of my blog but as a latecomer to Blackberry I feel I have to make comment about how much I love it ! Great looks, simple to use and fantastic features make a Blackberry a must-have item for the man about town- even although I do seem to be coming to this conclusion about 5 years later than everyone else !

My Personal Favourites

The House of Creed make the worlds finest fragrances and Green Irish Tweed is my weapon of choice ! Absolutely beautiful fragrance that lasts all day and just oozes quality. I cannot get enough of it !
