The Leather Motorcycle Jacket


About The Brand: Loake Shoemakers

Anyone who spends any decent amount of time with me could tell you that I'm a big fan of shoes. A great pair of shoes is something that far too many men disregard far too often. Don't you realise that it's one of the first things women look at?! Coincidentally, it's actually one of the first things I look at on a woman... Shoes can make or break an outfit, for me.

Inspiration on TV: Entourage

Now I don't watch a lot of television shows. I prefer to listen to music or stick a film on. However, when I do get in to a TV series, I can get pretty obsessed. The latest case of this has been HBO's Entourage.

New Collection: Gant Rugger FW12


Christopher Bastin was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. He began working life in a record store but soon realised that clothes were more his thing. So, with a bit of luck, he managed to get a job in a denim shop and thus kickstarting his career in clothing. From there he moved on to production and also buying for a number of different brands including H&M and Acne. He worked very close to the designers at such places and picked up many thoughts and ideas from doing so. When one day he saw that Gant were looking for a shirt designer, he decided to jump right in and give it a go. Without any formal design training, and barely able to draw a straight line, Bastin has become one of the best (at least at their price point) and most well known menswear designers in America. Very inspiring...
