Jeep in Portugal

Landing in Lisbon after a smooth flight we were quickly transported by the Jeep team to the Sheraton Hotel where we had an hour or two to chill out and unpack. Then it was time for the Jeep team to unveil the details of their latest offering via their #Recalculating presentation.

Alfa Romeo teams up with Hawes & Curtis

Craig of That Dapper Chap views the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and sees the suit designed by Hawes and Curtis to celebrate the launch

Since June 1910 Alfa Romeo, known then as Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili, have been making beautiful automobiles. Best known for it's significant contributions to racing driving, Alfa Romeo also offer less powerful cars for the likes of you and me. Still retaining the attention to detail, beautiful styling and performance.

The Giulietta is no different and I was really excited to get to know this particular model and get an insight into it's manufacture and the collaboration with Hawes and Curtis, who have created a suit showcase the design and detailing of the Giulietta.

What I Wore Today, with M&S

Craig of That Dapper Chap shares what he wore to this seasons London Fashion Week Men's, in collaboration with Marks & Spencer.

In past seasons at London Fashion Week Men's I've experienced snow, wind and rain. This time around it was nothing but blue skies and sunshine, which was most welcome, and made the couple of days that I attended an absolute pleasure.

Mini Me with Next Suiting

Craig of That Dapper Chap shows us suiting by Next in this 'Mini Me' Fathers Day blog post

Fathers Day, that one day every year where you get to do nothing! breakfast in bed, coffee on demand and full control of the TV remote control (if you're lucky) 

People tell me that my Son and I look alike, we have no real idea where his red hair comes from, maybe it's the Irish heritage, but in a lot of ways, especially our humour, our tendency to be a little grumpy in the mornings, and our style, we're very much alike. The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.
