WM J Mills Duffle

My new, smarter get up is forcing me to explore new luggage options as the backpacks of old really do not suit what I am now wearing. From my school days I have a Quba duffle bag made from old sail material but years of usage have rendered it out of action. My quest for a new one has brought me to this, a Wm J Mills Sag Harbor duffle. Like Quba they are sailing specialists, originally producing sails in Greenport, Long Island. Now, however, sailing is a small part of their business, with totes and duffles their main money makers. A plethora of colours are available, but in my opinion the grey is the most versatile. Wm J Mills are known for their long lasting canvas bags, so this maybe a very appropriate solution to my luggage problems.

New and Lingwood

Originally founded in 1865 as outfitters to Eton College, New and Lingwood describe themselves as purveyors of fine clothing to "men of refinement and good taste". Located neatly on Jermyn Street and within a stones throw of the gentleman's clubs of St. James, New and Lingwood have created classic and traditional English garments for generations of well dressed gentlemen. One would be a fool in thinking that, like some other retailers on Jermyn Street, they are purely shirt-makers. Their shoes, like the Richmond Semi-Brogue Oxford, could rival anything created by Edward Green, who sits just across the road, and jackets of similar quality to their own could easily be found anywhere on Saville Row. Their socks, pyjamas and dressing gowns are also specialities. If my career path takes me where I choose to go the St. James area may well be one I frequent regularly, and if so New and Lingwood will find themselves having very loyal customer.

vintage advertising.

I can't get enough of these vintage adverts specifically the ones from the 60's and 70's, whether beautifully shot or some Rockwellian painting they're all aesthetically pleasing to the eye, unfortunately worlds apart from the ones we have today.

Woolrich Woolen Mills S/S10

At the moment all I can think about is when I will gain the opportunity to not have to wear lots of thick layers just to venture outside. When I am able to bask in sunshine and I am expecting a light shower, or a gentle wind this jacket, namely the Zuma Anorak from the Woolrich Woolen Mills summer collection would be perfect. Similar to an Our Legacy cagoule for a few seasons ago, this would be suitable to throw on in the summer months if the aforementioned conditions arose. The beige version is not bad either...

Nike Air Rift MTR

The Nike Air Rift is a shoe I have never really given a second thought to but this re-release has made me think twice. I have no idea what I would wear them with but aesthetically they are very pleasing, being very well designed. The purple colour-way has particularly grabbed my attention. Maybe come summer I will know how I could incorporate a pair into my wardrobe.
