If you'll indulge me in the cold depths of winter, I'd like to show you a few items from the spring/summer 2014 collection of a brand which I haven't explored here before - Jigsaw Menswear.

| Jigsaw colours for SS14 menswear |
With classic but modern looks, fabrics and cuts and a very original feel to it, Jigsaw should be tried by the man who wants something different but not extreme, whether he's young or a grey fox. In the image below I enjoy my first look at Jigsaw menswear.

The colours are quite remarkable, as shown by the jacket I'm holding above. The variety of shades of blue, from indigo to pale slate, with splashes of colour set off by muted creams, greys and putty hues, give the collection an impressive cohesion. Textures and small multiple patterns add interest. As designer Frances Walker showed me each piece I decided that I had found a brand that I could happily buy into - one of the aims of my hunt for style as an older man.
Below are a few favourite pieces from Jigsaw's spring/summer collection for 2014. I hope to show you more when the weather has warmed a little - the collection is in Jigsaw Menswear shops, so have a look.
The current Jigsaw-Online collection can be found here - there's some very attractive chunky knitwear.

a pal from my hometown is the stylist/photographer for jigsaw. she's always talking about how god their men's is. I've been aware of them for a while, there's a shop in Manchester but I know they relaunched their menswear only recently. That jacket is nuts.

Jigsaw is one of my favourite menswear brands. I work near their excellent Avery Row shop and often pop in. Really like the wool flannel trousers (I bought two pairs!) and Shetland shawl-neck cardigan from their current range. John Lewis has just started stocking Jigsaw online so I think the word is spreading.
ReplyDeleteTell me , are you happy with the quality of the fabrics used ? I ask because I have bought from the women's range in the past & been disappointed by the quality , especially woolens . I do like the styles in the men's range .

Definitely. No problems experienced with fabrics or tailoring (which is often done in Portugal, so I'm told).
ReplyDeleteI have been happy with both the fabrics and the tailoring. I understand that many of the garments are tailored in Portugal, such as the French navy jacket I bought in the summer.
