New Cufflinks from Marc-Philippe

Traditionally cufflinks are made from two identical pieces of, in most cases, oval metal joined together by a chain. Over the last 30 or so years the trend has, however, been towards the now common single sided cufflinks with a swivel bar to hold the link in place. For the traditionalists amongst you we have introduced two cufflinks of the double sided chain variety, crafted from sterling silver, and we have more to come in the future.

These cufflinks can be viewed and purchased from our online shop by clicking here

A Hat for all Seasons!

I came a cross a delightful hat stall at the recent Cotswold Show in Cirencester last weekend. The stall, run by Peter and Jilly Sinclair-Knipe went by the name of 'Social Season Hatters', an apt name for a setup that sells its wares at numerous shows and fayres across the country.


The hat I bought was a Baileys of Hollywood panama, an american creation with an absolutey fantastic Cream and Brown grosgrain band and bow, with a stylish manufacturers logo. Looking on the Baileys website at http://www.baileyhats.com/ it appears the model that I purchased is called a Carnegie.

The hat is a fantastic addition to my wardrobe and something that goes fantastic with some of my bespoke shirts.

Why not treat yourself to a new hat by checking out their website at http://www.skhats.co.uk/ and meeting them at one of the events at which they have a trade stand.
