Autumn Trends with Hammond & Co

Craig of That Dapper Chap shares three looks available from the Hammond & Co range at Debenhams

If you're not familiar with Patrick Grant and the Hammond & Co range of menswear at Debenhams, you must have been living under a rock.

Mr Grant always offers a wide range of clothing for us gents, classic in style, but with a modern twist. Each season the range is stylish and elegant and has a selection of 'must have' pieces, this season is no different.

In this post I'll show you three distinct looks using items from the latest range.

Look 1 - Sartorial

For the first look I've gone all out dapper. This single breasted wool rich jacket with its bold check is teamed with a crisp white shirt and mustard bow tie for total sartorial elegance.

The slim fit jeans and Chelsea boots add that modern touch without detracting from the gentlemanly look of the outfit.

Autumn with Profuomo

Craig of That Dapper Chap wears some of the latest collection from Profuomo in this 'What I Wore Today' post 

If you've not heard of Profuomo before where have you been? Not only is it the place for the perfect white shirt, you find great style and some great pieces to add to your wardrobe for the coming months.

This outfits starts with the crisp white 'Sartorial' shirt. The shirt is a great fit and is one that I know I'll go to again and again. The quality is great, with top quality cotton and mother of pearl buttons, it has a spread collar and single cuffs making it easy to wear and easy to dress up or down.

Knitmas with White Stuff

Craig of That Dapper Chap shares the details of the latest Charity campaign from our friends at White Stuff

It's beginning to look a lot like 'Knitmas' at White Stuff! and I was totally surprised and delighted to receive a beautiful navy scarf, complete with embroidered monogram. It was entirely out of the blue and was sent to me in support of their latest charity campaign.

All I need now is for the weather to get a little cooler so that I can wear it!

White Stuff have always supported local charities and this season is no different. Having already donated £2.1m to over 100 worthy causes they want to add to that figure, and this time around they are selling two scarves to raise funds. 

The first is the 'Charlie' chunky stripe scarf (which is the scarf that they sent to me) and the second is the 'Sarah' check scarf.

The scarves will be available online and in stores in October and for every scarf bought White Stuff will donate £7 to charitable causes 

#WhatCharityMeansToMe

Charity is all about giving back, engaging in that basic human instinct to care, and doing good for others. It's very important to me, and I have supported many charities over the years, be it via sponsorship, taking part in mud races and weird events, or my monthly payment to the NSPCC.

I'm lucky in that I don't need to take advantage of a charity, but nobody knows when life will take a turn and result in the need to seek help. It can happen to any of us at any time.

Give a little, give a lot, but please give! Why not get a great new scarf into the bargain and buy yourself, or a loved one, a lovely new scarf from White Stuff.

When you buy you please take a picture of yourself wearing it and post it to social media, use the hashtag #WhatCharityMeansToMe

The AW16 Collection From Burton Menswear

Craig of That Dapper Chap gives us a sneak peek of the new collection coming our way from Burton Menswear

A contemporary interpretation of classic menswear styles helps Burton create an AW16 wardrobe of truly iconic pieces, making it the ultimate collection for today’s stylish and unpretentious man.

A focus on the brand’s heritage of providing impeccable suiting and smart casual options is the main theme of the range. Illustrating this perfectly is New British Classics, a story inspired by traditional fabrics, modernised with a smoother feel and a slick finish. Suits in grey twisted yarns are teamed with dobby patterned shirts and a wool Chesterfield coat, while bringing us bang up to date is the camel two-piece, which is worn with a burgundy crew-neck and brown Chelsea boot - a fresh take on a well-tested trend.
