THE DRIPPING DIAMOND VARSITY JACKET FROM RIVER ISLAND

At the moment Ive been busy sorting out my winter wardrobe and the main things for me trousers, shoes and scarves these are the things people generally see first during the colder months when they see, look at you or in most cases these days check you out ..... you can hide under these ... with the exception  which is not unless your going out for the evening and the coat and scarf has to come off ... but for dress down fall days which seems to have come early in the UK you cant go wrong with a varsity jacket ... I have many but its always nice to get a new one every season that will last and you will be able to wear for at least a couple of years ... hence this hot one from River Island .... comes in a few colours Ive featured the red and the navy and its a great price only £35 and its good for a fresh look or to add to what you already have in your wardrobe..... with the right Varsity jacket it does not only have to be worn on dress down days it can be styled for a night out also ... that's why I'm a stylist and this is a stylists dream ... you can do so much with it!

It has a plain back ....

The story behind the jacket....


The moment the flag fell, the horses bolted from the gate under a thunder of hooves.

A tremendous roar echoed around the grandstand as Ted watched the thoroughbred champions of the field fly past, with the quickness of lightning and a riot of colour.

True to form, Ted was inspired by this drama and passion, and immediately set about creating a special printed lining for his favourite wool tailored jacket and square silk scarf.

Based on a vintage print from Ted’s collection that celebrates and commemorates Psidium’s 1961 Derby triumph, this beautiful lining echoes the romance of the racetrack… not to mention a winning exhibition of Ted’s skill, agility and unique approach to quality clothing.

And after all, Ted always likes a photo finish......

QUILTED DOWN BLAZERS FOR MEN

For men quilted down blazers seem to be all the rage for AW 11, Ive seen a few good ones, bad ones and just plain ugly ones ... the following two are the best Ive seen the navy one is called Bubba and is from Versatile Apparel ok you may think Im biased as I already own it but for me this is the best one around.... The black one is from Ralph Lauren with bigger stitch seams its a close second to the Versatile Apparel garment...... styling tip - wear this style of jacket with the collar up!
