The Mr Porter London Nocturne

Craig of That Dapper Chap attends the London Nocturne cycle races as a guest of Mr Porter

Slap bang in the heart of London's financial district, and with the magnificent iconic landmark of St Pauls Cathedral looming majestically on the landscape, Mr Porter hosted the annual Nocturne cycles races.

Since humble beginning in 2007, the London Nocturne has grown and evolved significantly and now boasts an extravaganza of cycling, establishing itself a reputation for first class city bike racing.

Not all about cycling, Mr Porter showed some of their new collections

The Polo Ralph Lauren Boat Shoes

Craig of That Dapper Chaps shows us how he styled the Polo Ralph Lauren boat shoes from Tessuti

I have to be honest with you Tessuti is not a name that I'd heard of previously, and I'm not sure how I have managed to miss it! Established in 1985 they now have fifteen stores across the UK and you can check for your nearest store HERE.

With a strong online presence too, they offer a huge range of designer clothing from the likes of Boss, Barbour, Michael Kors, Vivian Westwood and Paul Smith to name but a few, and they cater for men, women and kids.  Being a fan of Ralph Lauren I chose a pair of Polo boat shoes.

A city break in Marrakech

Bored of the standard two weeks in the sun, we decided last year to take more city breaks, indulge ourselves in cultural differences, and sample traditional living in some very different places. With Budapest and Prague under our belts we went further afield and landed in Marrakesh in 100 degree heat.
