Lookbooks seem to be a little bit like buses, that is I waited months to put my first one together and ended up doing 3 all in the space of a week. For me small details matter as much (if not more) than the large ones, for example I can buy a new pair of shoes or jeans in a matter of minutes but any sock or watch purchase has to be carefully researched.

For this weeks lookbook I again worked with Hard Graft and Jacamo to put together a varied little winters outfit. Jacamo are currently in the midst of a rebrand and as part of this, they aim to cater for men of many styles and sizes - not just the tall and well-built which was the case until very recently.

The Quilted Coat from Jacamo was a fine addition to my winter wardrobe, from the outside it looks like a classic Barbour jacket with it's own detachable fleece collar. The collar is very rigid and preferred to have it up as an additional line of defence against the frosty winds we're currently experiencing in London.  This classic piece also has two chest pockets and two large side pockets that really add to it's country heritage feel. In comes in sizes M-5XL although I found it to be a little on the large side (I'm wearing M in the pictures) so I would advise to order 1 size below what you normally wear.

I again completed my look with some Marshall Monitor headphones and a Hard Graft premium Italian leather satchel as these items and I are becoming inseparable which if anything is a testament to their quality and durability. I have already mentioned them in my previous Qantas Lookbook but make sure you check Style Division in the coming weeks when I'll be posting a more in-depth review as well as a little surprise lookbook with Herschel Supply Co.

Ever since I got into the blogging game I've been dying to get myself a stylish looking blazer. Sure, places on the high street like Zara and Topman provide their own varieties and styles but I feel they're just a little bit too generic. The 'cookie cutter’ designs may fetch an affordable price but as with many things in life sometimes it’s better to pay extra than living with a shoddy product.

Up steps Tailor4Less, an online shopping destination where business men and stylish guys alike can custom build their own tailored suit. Their catalogue boasts over 150 fabrics, unique blazer designs and custom features that make for an infinite number of combinations. The entire customisation process is done online and was very easy to follow. You begin by filling out a profile with your personal measurements, everything from neck size to shoulder width is required to ensure Tailor4Less create a suit that hugs your body perfectly.

If you know what style of blazer you already prefer the entire process should not take more than a few minutes although I would advise you to play around with fabric and style combinations as it took me several attempts to create one I was 100%  happy with. If you’ve never bought a suit before the websites guides you through the entire process with instructional videos to help you measure up as well as information about fits and fabrics to ensure you choose the perfect suit. 

For my single breasted blazer I went with the dark navy ‘Upper Side’ 100% merino wool fabric and plain silk lining. A asked for additional elbow patches, custom buttons and seeing as monogrammed initials were on the house I included the 'Style Division' name as well just to really make it mine.

Overall I really enjoyed the Tailor4Less experience, I couldn't be happier with my suit, oh and did I mentioned the free shipping? If you're nervous about your measurements I would advise going to a local tailor first just to be sure and it might save you the additional trip once your suit actually arrives.

Complete the Look - Davidoff Destination Collection

To complete my look I decided on a Davidoff business bag from their latest 'Destination' Collection. The entire collection was designed and hand-made in Milan (to me, the unofficial fashion capital of the world) and that quality is really telling. The leather is 100% natural grain as no sanding processes are applied to its surface. This method is used across the entire range of bags and high quality of leather makes it impossibly soft to touch and almost gleaming in the right light.

The bag has several cleverly designed compartments, from the zipped external pocket that will fit a tablet and some papers, to the two bigger compartments with a laptop sleeve and additional pockets. The business bag was also built with custom metal piping which is designed to delineate the lines of the bag and look like the some old fashioned trunks and buckles. It also makes the whole bag sturdier and perfect for long distance travel, a perfect alternative to the long forgotten briefcase.

Two main reinforced zipped compartments with
internal pockets for all your essentials
Closed with a Key lock
Distinctive canvas lining that's 100% cotton

Complete the Look - Ties from Ties R Us

No suit is complete without a tie and although I'm a bow tie man sometimes you have to rock the classics. Ties R Us had me covered by giving me a large selection of ties to choose from. In all honesty it was a little hard to decide purely because of the number of options on offer such as skinny ties, textured and plain ties.

Since I was going for simplicity, an Agent 47 style plain burgundy satin tie (and the same one in peach) did the trick and really tied the outfit together. The ties themselves were really easy to put on, the satin also gave them a really smooth feel and matched perfectly with the fabric of my custom made blazer.

So here we are, another lookbook complete. Make sure you check out Tailor4Us, Davidoff and Ties R Us and keep upto date with Style Division on:

When Qantas Airways offered me the chance to put together a look for one of their flights to Australia I literally jumped at the chance. There aren't many opportunities (especially in the current London weather) that allow me dress up fairy light and summery so I started digging through ASOS and my own wardrobe to see what goodies I could find that fit the theme.

My first thought turned to the weather and seeing as I don't deal well with either extreme a light shirt, jacket and trousers were the primary essentials. To add to the look I brought my trusted wooly bob hat (it can get nippy on planes), Nike sports watch, Raybans and a bag full of goodies which I will come onto later.

The location was the gorgeous and historical Gilbert Scott bar and brasserie situated in London, St Pancras. I thought the location had a nice theme to it as St Pancras is a name that for me is synonymous with adventure and wanderlust and seemed perfect for the outfit I wanted to put together.

#2 - The Bag

If you're going on a trip the last thing you want is something cumbersome to lug around which makes this work satchel from Hard Graft the perfect companion. The satchel is made from premium vegetable tanned Italian leather and is hand stitched to withstand the knocks of the road.  Each Hard Graft bag is hand-stained hide by hide and has its own special touch and is unique in tone and texture that ages over time.

The inside of the bag is nice and spacious with plenty of room to store my laptop, camera, magazines and notebooks. The inside is also padded with 100% wool felt which apart from being amazing to touch ensures your belongings don't slide about and get scratched whilst you travel.

#3 - The Location

Now onto the famous St Pancras itself. It's slowly becoming one of my favourite places in London and not simply because of the trolley from Harry Potter. Go to any arrivals area and you'll be overcome by happiness as the whole place is buzzing with old friends and relatives who are overcome with emotion.

If you explore St Pancras you can discover a number of unique areas that will surprise and inspire you, I spent the day at The Gilbert Scott bar and brasserie which boasts it's own historic architecture, live musicians and the Spice Girls staircase I mentioned above. The interiors were mostly gorgeous open rooms with tall ceilings and hints of Eastern European designs. It's atmosphere was also incredibly peaceful with smooth jazz playing on the speakers and complementary bacon popcorn which blew my mind to say the least.

Make sure to check out Style Division in the coming weeks when I'll be doing a more in depth write-up on Kings Cross and St Pancras, their history and recent developments.

So here we are, another day out in our busy city. If you would like to get more information about the outfit or if you want to simply say hello, tweet me @StyleDivision

Following on from my last post about the street art tour of Shoreditch I thought another little lookbook should be on the agenda. During the tour I had the chance to snap a few photos of my Burton Shower Resistant Mac and the graffiti made for a perfect modern backdrop.

The mac itself is very lightweight and lined with a fine dogtooth patterned fabric which makes it perfect for those all too regular windy and drizzly London days. The design of the trench coat is very www.noc2healthcare.com/cialis/ sleek and minimal so I didn't want to go overboard with the accessories but only something that will amplify the look.

I decided to go for a wool scarf with a green/red plaid pattern as it wasn't too big and ostentatious. The scarf I'm wearing in he picture was made for me by a close friend but you can get a similar one for yourself from ASOS or River Island.

Let me know what you think of the trench coat by leaving a comment below or tweet me @StyleDivision
