Introducing Smart Turnout

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:10:44 +0000

Smart Turnout is a British company created for clothing and accessories catering to regiments, schools and universities. The founder Edward Shawcross thought about it in 1992, right about the end of his British Army career. He was at the Sandown Race that year wearing a jumper that he made himself featuring the colors of his regiment, Scots Guards. He received compliments for his jumper which inspired him to create a small range of products featuring other colors of regiments.

UK Reading Tie, UK University of Wales Tie

Harvard Tie, Princeton Tie

101 Airborne Tie, 3 Regiment Royal Horse Artillery Tie

The inspiration has grown into more than 70 regiments and 30 schools in UK which has successfully expanded in the US market. The range of products include silk ties, cufflinks, watchbands, socks and scarves.

Check out the rest of the products at Smart Turnout website.

Quite a very oceanic blue cuff links this pair of Dollan & Bullock Opal Cuff Links. It’s Rhodium-plated sterling silver/Caribbean opals to be exact.

Classic looking with the sterling silver tiered frame with a touch, well not just a touch, it’s bold opal center.

It used to be $200, but is now on sale for $99.90 at Nordstrom. Now that’s what I call a great deal .

Urban Outfitters Jitney Canvas Weekender And A Fashion Industry Rant

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 23 May 2008 15:19:05 +0000

I was going through Men.Style’s list of 21 best duffel bags the other day and as much as I was drooling over the Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Barbour, Bottega Veneta, Loro Piana, Ferragamo, etc, duffel bags, I started to get pissed off. Why? Because all those mentioned above combined, and the other high end designers could set you a trip to the Bahamas or Paris or a family vacation to the beach or even Disney World. I was like, “geez, is there anything for under $100?”. I hate lists like these coz most of the time they don’t cater to regular folks. It’s all about showing off. None of them consider hard-working population who’d also love to enjoy a nice duffel bag that won’t necessarily send them to the brink of bankruptcy. High end designers are cool, to the people who can afford them or who just really don’t care about money. The fashion industry can be so ridiculous sometimes. It’s the same way with Fashion Week. What some of the models wear on the runway would absolutely look like a pile of dog shit on a “Real Person”. Get real people.

Anyway, ending my rant, I was disgusted as I continued to peruse the list that I almost closed the window. Then finally I saw this Urban Outfitters Jitney Canvas Weekender. Finally, a duffel bag that’s actually realistically affordable. #16 on 21 Best Duffel Bags List is only $58. Now that’s what I call a realistic duffel bag for real hard-working people that’s not a celebrity or a movie star or Donald Trump or Sean Combs. You know the list, heh.

PS : I’ll still feature high end stuff, just wanted to get this off my chest .

I’m a sucker for a chain necklace over a Man’s neck. I think it’s totally sexy. There’s just something about it, no? A white plain tee looks HOT with a chain necklace around your neck. How about this John Hardy round Links Chain necklace? Most guys wear gold tone chain necklace but I prefer sterling silver. Find this John Hardy Chain Necklace at Neiman Marcus for $245.
