How To Dress Like Don Draper Posted Wednesday, 04 November 2009 17:14 by Susan

Harris Tweed

If you watched the show Mad Men, you would notice how elegant creatives were a few decades ago.  This is not to say there is anything wrong with being dressed in jeans and a colorful shirt, but in my opinion there are times when a good suit can do good. For example when you're presenting to a major bank executive or meeting your new client. Some of the business people don't get that informal dressing doesn't meant informal work. And, we're all about perception, right?

So how to dress sharp like Don Draper?

Harris Tweed - Distinctive and Individual Posted Thursday, 22 October 2009 09:29 by Susan

Harris Tweed

If it doesn’t say ‘Harris Tweed’ it isn’t Harris Tweed! This has been the case for a century as this distinctive cloth was first given a formal recognition as something very distinctive and individual in 1909, when the certification mark was first granted, it was then registered in 1910. The original definition of a true Harris Tweed read “ Harris Tweed means a tweed, hand spun, hand woven and dyed by the crofters and cottars in the Outer Hebrides”. Although this was amended in the 1930’s the essential wording of what makes this cloth so individual remained the same, and still does to this day! A true Harris Tweed can also be recognised by its distinctive ‘Orb’ trademark

Linen and What's Good For You Posted Monday, 29 June 2009 11:14 by Susan

Linen is made for summer, whether it's worn in this country or abroad ......

Sometimes when I'm in a men's retailer and I see a gentleman trying on a linen jacket, I hear that very common phrase ‘but it will crease‘.  Yes, there is no getting away from it; linen is guaranteed to crease... but before you dismiss linen garments, think about the positive benefits.
