| Time to settle down for a good read |
As a menswear enthusiast I'm often found with my nose buried in a magazine or book, so when I received a copy of BEST OF BRITISH: The Stories Behind Britain’s Iconic Brands I couldn't wait to read it.

| Lock & Co the oldest hatmaker in the world |

It's a bumper book, packed with amazing images from our best loved and iconic brands such as Barbour, Mackintosh, Dents and Dunhill to name just a few.

| Fine tailoring from Anderson & Sheppard |
Conceived of and designed by Creative Director Toby Egelnick, featuring photographs by Horst A.
