May: Day Tripping

So May is here already here, it feels as if this year is passing faster than any other of my life. The recent burst into summer weather has meant I have been making many more visits to London and other venues for days out, this is my perfect outfit for this month...


S.E.H. Kelly Raglan Shirt

After my feature on this shirt earler this month I felt its place was well deserved for a day tripping outfit. The thing that makes this shirt so unique is in its build and details. I love the pin point cotton and the club collar which adds a great dimension to the shirt.

Mads Nørgaard Blue Shorts

Shorts always mark the start of the summer and this pair from Danish brand Mads Nørgaard are a great addition to the wardrobe. They are a great colour, the blue is a perfect for both smart and casual outfits and can be the accent to an outfit or merely a background. The material these are built with its soft yet hard wearing and will last for many summers to come.

Vintage Rolex Submariner

I was looking through some vintage pictures of Steve Mcqueen and noticed he was wearing a Rolex Submariner. Definately one of the best looking watches of all time, this will be on my list for a long time I feel but I will have one some day. Interestly today I saw that inventory magazine has a feature on Submariners in their latest issue, cue a online purchase!

Fuji FinePix X100

After reading a piece on Gear Patrol I have become increasingly falling in love with this camera. With the aesthetcs of a Leica without the inflated pricetag but boasting some of the best technology available this camera really packs a punch. Don't get me wrong this is not a cheap camera by any means but with looks to kill and a plethora of features its worth it.

Coca Cola 125th Anniversary Hutchinson Bottle

After the news that Pepsi have finally admitted defeat in the Cola war (and rightly so) it seems fitting to celebrate their 125th anniversary by bringng back the bottle that started it all the original Hutchinson. I have always been an advocate that Coke tastes better from a glass bottle and this is the perfect accompaniment to a hot summers day.

Band Of Outsiders Suede Jacket

I spotted this jacket last year during Band Of Outsiders preview of their SS11 Collection. It is simply perfect, unfortunately the price tag agrees with me and although it is well out of my price range it is definately one for the memory bank when the sales come around, somehow I doubt there will be any left by then.

Mark McNairy Saddle Shoes

Saddle shoes are huge at the moment and no one in my opinion is making better looking shoes than Mark Mcnairy right now. These saddles boast some amazing quality in both materials with rich suede and lovely leather and a colour combination which laughs in the face of most try hard brands, this man is on top of his game and it shows.
