Some chaps like to dress functionally; you know the Asics Trainers with tailoring, Cargo pants with a million different pockets kind of looks; and I get it…In fact, no, I don’t. Frankly, it looks appalling and for me, style should never be sacrificed for functionality. I imagine functional dressers become especially unstuck when it comes to […]
Unlike our European comrades, we’re sadly not blessed with guaranteed blue skies, warm seas or scorching temperatures during BST. Many UK-based Chappers also aren’t filled with the knowledge or ability to successfully innovate an eye-catching and seasonal outfit, especially for more formal occassions such as a garden party or wedding. Fear not, we’re here for you. Whether you’re […]
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. […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Dapper Chapper was lucky enough to preview the latest offerings from Duchamp London. One of our favorite brands who never cease to amaze us with their latest offerings. After a mini-sabbatical, Duchamp are back with a bang in London. On first glance the collection is typically Duchamp in its nature. However, we see lots of great new additions. Duchamp has added many […]
