By Adam

Having a stylish pair of sunglasses is something high on the must-have agenda for most of us Dapper Chappers. However, they can be more than costly when considering that they seem to be one of those things that many of us lose or break, despite the deep love we develop for a good pair. On […]

Oris Artelier Calibre 113 – A Real Watch for Real People

By Alex Noble

A question we’re often asked at DCHQ, is what makes Chappers tick? And by that, we assume they mean what is it that really stimulates us and gets us uber excited? Well, apart from a great Scotch, a Winchester chair and some pleasant company, we also love to look great and I don’t think you could […]

The Simba Luxe Mattress Review

By Adam

I think it’s universally accepted that a large proportion of humans love sleeping. You constantly hear people uttering that they need to ‘Catch up on sleep,’ or ‘How it took ages for them to nod off,’ – who knew it was such an interesting topic of conversation (It’s not by the way – Yawn!) One of the biggest perks […]

Bugaboo Boxer Cabin Case Pure

By Adam

You see all kinds of strange things whilst travelling…the aeronautical obsessors or trainspotters, the chappers who are forever running late for connections,  those who thrive on getting absolutely thumped in the bar before travelling, and the deliberators who stand in front of the Waterstones fiction section for an hour trying to select a book (which they […]

The Parker Jotter: The Writing Utensil of a Dapper Chapper

By Alex Noble

Chaps, I’d like you to cast your minds back to a time when Christmas cards used to flood through your letterbox, and decorate your walls throughout December. The days when people actually took the time to write Christmas cards, instead of leaving a social media post or paying a card website to do the work for them.  […]

Thomas Sabo: A Watch is for Life, Not Just for Christmas

By Alex Noble

Christmas is a wonderful time of year when anything goes. Your bad behaviour at the office Christmas party is usually swept under the carpet (at least until January), your chocolate indulgence is endorsed instead of frowned upon, and you’re allowed to ask for a gift that you wouldn’t dream of requesting at any other time.  I’m often […]

The Royal Exchange Christmas Gift Guide

By Robert Etheridge

If you hadn’t noticed already, the festive season is looming large. The signs are everywhere; the streets are awash with autumn colours and every crunch of a leaf underfoot is a step closer to winter; the season of mulling everything, blustery walks, knitwear… and Christmas. Yes that’s right, Christmas means Christmas and to make a […]
