Gieves and Hawkes

I have decided that to be a gentleman and yet still be fashionable requires a lot of taste, time and money. Nonetheless, upon my visit to Gieves and Hawkes yesterday, tailor located at No.1 Saville Row, their GIEVES line is quite perfect for achieving this.

First of all, the design is not just good, its very good. Second the cut of the garments is timely yet traditional maintaining hints of proper British tailoring as well as updated detailing which gives this younger line a twist to shout about. My favorite piece was the cardigan and turtleneck in one. Shown below, rather small I'm afraid, the two are sewn together but appear to be two separates. Love this look, will be sporting it this fall.


Then I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had many overcoats, topcoats and jackets to choose from. Below is just one example of the slightly military styled overcoats they have in a slightly moss/jade green. They also do a glass green suede artisan jacket that is quite amazing. I say take a look.

Next problem is to find where it is stocked in America. Where to find it, where to find it. So fashionable gentlemen, keep reading and keep shopping becuase you are what you wear and a gentleman is nothing is he is not refined.
