The Jeff Banks Bespoke Suit - Part 1: Measuring

Craig of That Dapper Chap goes to Savile Row to be measured for a bespoke suit at the new Jeff Banks store

On my way to Jeff Banks Savile Row to be measured and to choose my suit

If you've seen the teaser video on Instagram and my other social media you'll know that I made a recent pilgrimage to Savile Row to meet the guys from Jeff Banks to be measured for a bespoke suit.

This is the first part of a series of posts in which I'll take you through the measuring process, the options available to you, the fitting, and the final suit. I'll let you know all about my experience and also dispel some myths along the way.

Steve and I discuss the various options for my suit

Uomo The Red By Trussardi

Craig of That Dapper Chap reviews Uomo The Red, the latest fragrance from Trussardi

Product

This review focuses on the brand new Uomo The Red Eau de Toilette mens fragrance from Trussardi. As with any sponsored post, like this one, I will review it with complete honesty.

Launched fully on 18th September it's now available online and in stores

Masculine and elegant, Uomo The Red has been created by famous perfumer Aurélien Guichard and was directly inspired by more manly activities such as sports cars and gentleman clubs.

With a woody and spicy floral fragrance, it has top notes of lemon, nutmeg, galbanum and cognac, a heart of geranium, violet leaf and clary sage and a base of tonka bean, patchouli and leather.

My first view of the new Portraits collection from Penhaligon's

The launch event

If you're familiar with Penhaligon's London you'll know that they offer some of the most incredible fragrances for men, and women and this new collection is no exception. The associated artwork and the design of the bottles alone is second to none, but more on that later.

To celebrate the launch of their Portraits Collection the Penhaligon's team organised an evening of history and cocktails which began with a guided tour around the area between their shop in the illustrious Burlington Arcade and their flagship store in Regent Street.

Product Review - The Citylander case by Scaramanga

Craig of That Dapper Chap reviews the leather Citylander laptop bag by Scaramanga

Introducing Scaramanga

Scaramanga was founded by Carl Morenikeji in 2006 after he found and fell in love with a vintage satchel during one of his trips to India. Satchel in hand, he sought to find craftsmen who could recreate similar satchels. Long story short and Scaramanga now offer a wide range of beautiful vintage inspired leather bags and accessories.

Penhaligon's Fragrances

Craig of That Dapper Chap introduces us to the latest fragrances from Penhaligon's, both inspired by the the mysteries of Egypt.

Penhaligons

Founded by Mr William Penhaligon in 1870, Penhaligons London have a long established heritage, so much so that they hold not, one but two Royal Warrants. So, if their fragrances are good enough to for the British Royal Family, they're certainly good enough for That Dapper Chap!

The two fragrances that I'm going to share with you today are the Alizarin Eau De Parfum and the
Oud De Nil Eau de Parfum. Two very different fragrances, they are both directly inspired by the history and atmosphere of one of the most mysterious lands in all the world: Egypt.

One of the most iconic symbols of Egypt and a must see for any true traveller
