T-SHIRT - Lazy Oaf Brick Wall Tee

I recently went to a press preview for the new Lazy Oaf collection. The brand has caught my attention with some really awesome and unique designs and I instantly had a favourite t-shirt for the guys from the new collection. Take a look...

Brick Wall T-Shirt

It was great chatting to the people behind the brand. It's a small outfit grown from a market stall and the founder comes up with new ideas and designs each season. They've recently been stocked in Selfridges with exclusive pieces there which is a great compliment to the range. I loved the idea of a telly book to track all the shows you want to watch and there are definitely some great gift ideas for Christmas too.

Pop into the Carnaby Street store in London or take a look at the website.

CHARITY - Brooks Brothers Pocket Squares

Preppy New York brand Brooks Brothers has produced a Limited Edition collection of checked pocket squares in a fab range of colours. They'll be sold in aid of the Orchid charity which fights male cancers (in the UK) and to support St Columba's in Scotland. If you want to show your support, you can shop the products in stores or by mail order from the respective flagships.

They are priced at £8 each and £5 of every sale goes directly to the respective charity plus they'll make you look rather dapper indeed.

FASHION - Toast For Men, First Look

I told you a while ago about Toast launching a menswear collection and here it is. Entitled 'Amateur' the collection encompasses the simple, relaxed aesthetic that Toast has become renowned and loved for. Think easy tailoring, relaxed shapes and natural fabrics. The first Toast menswear collection has been a long time in planning. Toast has concentrated on the quality of each piece, using exceptional fabrics as the basis of each garment. The inspiration for this collection – traditional tailoring, early 20th century work wear and military – combining in bohemian eclecticism.

Styles include staple jackets, waistcoats, shirts, knitwear, trousers and jeans. Key looks include the Moleskin Workers Coat – a double breasted knee length jacket with a military feel available in dark slate blue and dark olive. Bib front shirts in cotton flannel or chambray are simple and perfect for a layered look when combined with knitwear or waistcoats. Pattern is minimal with simple striped shirts and a double face check shirt. Trouser shapes and denim jeans are classic straight cut whilst cords have a more relaxed feel and come in khaki and coal grey.
