St James Style: The walk-through wardrobe project | Men's Style and Lifestyle Blog
http://stjames-style.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-walk-through-wardrobe-project.html
Men's style and lifestyle blog. Thursday, 1 January 2015. The walk-through wardrobe project. The original wardrobes. Hideous, inadequate and difficult to access. I was inspired, however, by a video on (of all places) the Ikea website. Although it makes everything a bit less spacious than it was before, the joy is that I now have acres of wardrobe space, all in one place, so I can finally store my clothes properly and get to them easily. 26 January 2015 at 18:02. Ikea would be so proud! A great idea to pl...

St James Style: October 2013 | Men's Style and Lifestyle Blog
http://stjames-style.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Men's style and lifestyle blog. Tuesday, 1 October 2013. Alexander and James - some seriously unusual spirits. Anyway, all of that is by way of an introduction to why I was particularly delighted to end up with a bottle of Caol Ila Distiller's Edition generously provided by Alexander and James. On the other hand, is diverse, pleasingly eclectic, and occasionally quite breathtakingly expensive. The collection appears carefully curated and is mixed up an interesting range of gadgets, glassware and othe...

St James Style: January 2015 | Men's Style and Lifestyle Blog
http://stjames-style.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Men's style and lifestyle blog. Monday, 26 January 2015. It's not that Britain ever gets really cold, not ridiculously cold like some places. But I'm a bit rubbish with cold weather and I like going out in something that keeps the legs warm. Corduroys are absolutely perfect for that - a combination of heavier material and the wales (ridges) in the material make them better insulators and thus warm and comfortable on a cold day. Thursday, 1 January 2015. The walk-through wardrobe project. Although it make...

St James Style: "Country attire day" | Men's Style and Lifestyle Blog
http://stjames-style.blogspot.com/2014/12/country-attire-day.html
Men's style and lifestyle blog. Monday, 22 December 2014. Today is a special day. Today is "country attire day". What is that, you ask? It really can't fail. If you are very junior your boss will probably ask you where you shoot and if you fancy taking a peg on a grouse day next year*, and if you're very senior your team will be delighted to see you looking relaxed and approachable* . 24 December 2014 at 10:09. Crickey its like a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past. 24 December 2014 at 22:47. How to g...

St James Style: Frederick Lynn | Men's Style and Lifestyle Blog
http://stjames-style.blogspot.com/2014/02/frederick-lynn.html
Men's style and lifestyle blog. Monday, 10 February 2014. In the Spring, I'm planning to go out to Chicago - a city I've never visited, but one with a thriving fashion industry and one that I associate with a business-like but sharp and stylish dress-sense. I'm excited to visit some tailors there, and particularly excited to already be talking to one. Frederick Lynn. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a proper look round the shop in May, at which point I will report back with a more detailed post. In the...

St James Style: September 2013 | Men's Style and Lifestyle Blog
http://stjames-style.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Men's style and lifestyle blog. Tuesday, 17 September 2013. When talking about bespoke suits, it's sometimes complicated to articulate what the advantage is. Partly that's because 'bespoke' is so misused that it can cover a range of options anyway, and partly it's because true bespoke has so many benefits that arise for many different reasons. So in this post I'm going to isolate just one, and look at the benefits of hand-made suits. Image property of Remodelista.com. Monday, 9 September 2013. A well-res...

St James Style: Winter activities, and Cordings (and What To Wear on a shoot) | Men's Style and Lifestyle Blog
http://stjames-style.blogspot.com/2013/12/winter-activities-and-cordings-and-what.html
Men's style and lifestyle blog. Monday, 16 December 2013. Winter activities, and Cordings (and What To Wear on a shoot). My pursuit of country pursuits, and the right clothes in which to pursue them, took me last week to Cordings. On Pall Mall is also an excellent choice, and possibly even a bit cheaper, but it's a little more 'sporting' and a little less traditional than Cordings and, more important, closes earlier in the evening. As I was in a hurry after work, I didn't have much choice. If you do want...

Men's style and lifestyle blog. Thursday, 19 December 2013. Cad and the Dandy three-piece: the finished article. Labels: Cad and the dandy. Monday, 16 December 2013. Winter activities, and Cordings (and What To Wear on a shoot). My pursuit of country pursuits, and the right clothes in which to pursue them, took me last week to Cordings. I went for plus-twos, which often better suit the taller and slimmer chap, but managed to resist the full 7-piece suit. I did, however, make sure to check that I was ...

St James Style: March 2014 | Men's Style and Lifestyle Blog
http://stjames-style.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Men's style and lifestyle blog. Tuesday, 11 March 2014. In case it wasn't sufficiently apparent from my post about shooting breeks, I've rather fallen in love with Cordings. There's no better example than my new Cordings jacket in their house check tweed. It's a beautiful, heavy but fairly smooth tweed in a classic olive green with light blue and turquoise stripes. As befits a country jacket, it's three button with a single vent, and has the attractive and traditional Cordings cut: generous but w...It ha...

Excellent suit, you have my hearty congratulations. 19 December 2013 at 15:00. Yes, Im very keen on the lining. Its particularly fun on the waistcoat back. 19 December 2013 at 16:00. 19 December 2013 at 16:29. There is likely to be only one basted fitting. Some of the old-school tailors will offer two or eve...
