How can a man of style celebrate the Diamond Jubilee and London Olympics?

Saturday, 2 June 2012

We are now celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee here in the United Kingdom. With a token apology to overseas readers, I have been thinking about what is available to a man of style who wishes to celebrate. I don't think we can be coy about this; these events happen rarely and seldom coincide with a local Olympic Games! Here are a few of my favourite items.

Herman Miller Aeron office chair

Barbour for John Lewis dog coat

John Lewis ironing board

John Lewis storage trunk

Barbour

John Lewis

Asos

Barbour

Rhino GB

Play.com





Vivienne Westwood

And a present for the wife, girlfriend, daughter - some wristwarmers from Brora -

    Definitely like the trunk, the cuff links and the Westwood tie, though I think I'd get more use out of the latter if it were in more muted tones.
    I like the style and button detail of the Rhino Jacket, but I'd buy the first coat/jacket pictured in your earlier Jubilee item thread about 2 threads down. However I approve of the model's white shoes, ;) .
    Enjoy your big Jubilee weekend celebrations. We'll catch what we can here in Canada.

    Why was even a "token" apology required, Mr Fox? The whole week was fantastic, and I'm sure overseas readers would also have appreciated that -- otherwise....hard cheese on them! Nice pictures, thanks

    True - I'm being far too British and apologetic! GF
