We recently got this amazing Hussar jacket for the shop! James found it on one of his ventures around the world. It is from The Queen's Royal Hussars regiment, witch traces its roots back to 1685. Hussars refer to a type of light cavalry created in Hungary in the 15th century. Their jackets are legendary, and they keep beeing reinvented.

I also liked the piece in the Times Style Mag on Feb 1st, shopped by Natalie Hartley and referencing Danielle Scutts African style head wraps, these lovely shots with great looks gave us 'this seasons ultimate finishing touch.'
We are big fans of Jasper Goodall's work. He's got an exhibition opening tomorrow at the Electric Blue Gallery. We are going to check it out, you should too!
We are longing for the day the mini tie will make a proper entrance into mens wardrobes. Here's a little indicator from Acne that this might be possible.
