Stamping an authority on a piece of clothing is not for the faint hearted and pretty tough considering we’ve been wearing clothing of some sort for thousands of years. It can be done. We’ve seen the likes of Thomas Pink launch their White Shirt Bar and Burberry own the Mac, but they are big-name brands. […]
Us Brits have got a tremendous attitude when it comes to most things that present us with adversity – Keep Calm and Carry On. That said, we’re also exceptionally naive. Naive in the sense that as soon as it hits April, we believe spring will be in bloom and before long, temperatures will rocket, the rain will subside […]
Finding emerging fashion brands is a part of the job we love here at The Dapper Chapper. As ever, with our ears and noses to the ground, we have unearthed another ‘one-to-watch’ in the form of exciting new urban streetwear brand ArcMinute. Before we wax lyrical, Arcminute is fine angular measurement. Angular elements, clean lines and […]
Whether you’ve both swiped right, met through a friend, spilt a cup of coffee over one another and hit it off, or simply gone old school and had the courage to approach them in a bar (god forbid)…you’re going on a date. There are few situations in life that require as strong an impression as a […]
When it comes to tailoring, many chappers believe you have to spend BIG to acquire a strong suit game. In essence, the likelihood is the more you spend, the better quality the suit, however it doesn’t mean there’s a financial threshold that if one dips under, all quality is lost… Here’s 5 extremely suave suits that won’t break […]
We all love a good bargain, whether it’s on clothes, bags or even jewellery. It’s for this reason that high street fashion is so popular. Yet, there are some items that in my eyes should be given slightly more investment of both time and money. A suit is a prime example. I would advise spending more on one specific suit that really […]
Remember the milk tray man? Everyone loved him and I can assure you it wasn’t just for the chocolate he delivered – he looked sharp A.F. due to his slick ensemble, which included…a roll neck. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, ‘Tis the season of the roll neck.’ Whatever the occasion, whatever […]
Last month we were approached by legendary British brand, Crombie, to style and blog about their coats. Naturally, I put my hand up for this one because Crombie comes with quite the reputation and I’ve always admired the brand, admittedly from afar, until now. The Crombie story is really quite special. For starters, few brands […]
Over the last 18 months we’ve been sent a link to The Chapar scores of times, with members of our community stating to us that ‘you should review these guys’. Mild similarities in the name aside, they were all right, we should have indeed reviewed this service by now because it supports exactly what we […]
You may not have heard of Jacob Cohen, you may have possibly seen the recent advertisements in the men’s glossies. But to hazard a guess, your interaction with the brand has been limited. Now, as you know, we love finding and discovering new gems, and on this one, we were lucky enough to have a […]
You may remember this time last year, as we entered layering season, we started championing a host of Japanese brands. Well we have another for you… Introducing Remi Relief. Mr Yutaka Goto is the man behind the brand which is inspired by U.S skater and surfer looks. Like most premium japanese labels it uses high-quality […]
This week we’ve been fortunate enough to get our hands on McAlson’s luxury boxer shorts and we’re seriously impressed with what we’ve found. Developed from some of Europe’s finest cottons, the undergarments effortlessly combine style and comfort in a way that we’ve never encountered before. Incorporating a unique and revolutionary cotton inside support, the boxers […]
This item of clothing, if you can even call it that, causes a bit of a dilemma for people who like to dress functionally because, in actual fact, it’s a functionally useless piece of cloth, which fits a functionally useless pocket. (Apart from a peg for a closed pair of sunglasses). However, from reading my […]
Last year, you may have seen me blog about cotton-lace pocket squares by Marwood. They got a really positive review which you can read here. The time, we’ve taken a look at the the cotton lace bow ties which are trademarked by Marwood and one of the best sellers. Beautiful, aren’t they? They are handmade using […]
