Contemporary eyewear for the modern-day Vagabond

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 […]

King of Soho Review

By Alex Noble

Quadruple distilled using traditional methods by an eleventh generation, master distiller, this London Dry Gin is crafted with twelve botanicals, delivering an interesting if uninspiring flavour profile. It was created to pay homage to the ‘King of Soho,’ (English publisher, club owner, and property developer) Paul Raymond, who died in 2008, by his son Howard. Paul […]

Where to get good wine this Summer: Introducing Bird in Hand

By Adam

What an epic summer we’ve had so far in the U.K. The sun’s been shining relentlessly and the BBQ has well and truly earned its place on the patio. Many an evening has been spent outside, wine in hand, grilling up some dinner. Such is the frequency of this scenario, I’ve actually adopted a keen […]

Malfy Gin con Limone Review

By Michelle Connolly

Big, bold citrusy flavours are the main characteristic of this beautiful lemon based Gin. Despite the historical heritage of the area – Moncalieri on the outskirts of Turin is famed for liqueurs like Martini Rossi, Carpano and Cinzano – it was a leap of faith that paid off for Fratelli Ferrero di Riccardo, opening the […]

Why I’ve Introduced a Standing Desk : VARIDESK Review

By Adam

I work with a team of guys all younger than me. I’ve only just snuck the wrong side of 30 but at times I can hear myself sounding like a (very on-trend) 70 year old, as I bumble on about the benefits of Chiropractic care, Yoga and Pilates. It all started two years ago when […]

First Time Drivers with Aviva

By Rikesh Chauhan

Here at The Dapper Chapper, we take cars seriously. There’s something quite satisfying about seeing heads turn as you roll past in a 1930s classic, or a contemporary supercar.

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 Curious Case of Ancnoc Whisky

By Alex Noble

When one utters the phrase, ‘Highland Whisky,’ to a group of fellow DC’s, you’d expect to hear about a historic or renowned brand, rich in heritage and prestige. So, when I say to you that Ancnoc (pronounced a-nock) is a self-proclaimed, ‘contemporary’ whisky, don’t be alarmed, be excited, and stay with me. This cracking single […]

Hudson Baby Bourbon Review

By Alex Noble

If you’ve acquired a certain fondness for a specific brand of whisky, simply for the taste, convenience or price point, It’s not that I’ll judge you, I just feel you’ll have missed out on the real magic of whisky indulgence.  Bourbon is a liquor that one revels in drinking, as we allocate vital time to sit back, relax in a Chesterfield […]
