Jacket Required, a menswear trade show, took place at the end of July. I find events like this useful in providing inspiration for my search for style. Many brands attending sell streetwear or younger baseball-cap-type clothes; maybe not what most older men would go for, but there are many interesting and more classic styles to see. Here are a few of my favourites:
Sanders Shoes - an interesting brand making shoes in Northamptonshire for sale under their own and other labels. Many are classic designs, many have a colourful twist. Click here to visit Sanders -
Private White VC - Manchester-made, I wrote here about my factory visit earlier this year. Casual and outerwear with a difference, all with a very classic design basis. Click here for Private White VC -
Greatcoat - a fairly new label making outerwear and raincoats in London, England. Click here for their website -
Realm & Empire - casual wear brand, making some products (knitwear) in the UK. They base their styles on inspiration found in historic British artefacts and documents. See their website here.
Baracuta - although now Italian-owned, their traditional Harrington jackets are still made in the UK. See their website here -
Triumph & Disaster - I liked the humour and design of this New Zealand skincare, shaving and grooming brand. See their website here.
I LOVE those shoes in the first pic....I don't suppose they make them for women....:)
