More London based menswear goodness, this time with Omar Kashoura. Called the ‘Click Brigade’, the name is taken from “feeling of binding together with a sense of efficiency and relevance, amalgamated with the feeling of a large body of people, the sense of a group of individuals coming together to reach a common goal.”

Or something like that. Either way, there’s plenty of desirable clothes on show, including that beautiful double breasted blazer above. Take that leap, see those images.

Word is getting around quick regarding General Knot & Co.’s collection of salvage made men’s neck and bowties. Putting aside inspiration, this New York based company – which fabricates their ties in NYC and Vermont – uses found and vintage fabrics to make their neckwear.

For those who want a made-to-order (watch the words) boots, head over to Leffot and check the Church Gatcombe’s. Here’s an example one set of MTO’s: “We ordered this pair of Church Gatcombe boots for our client D.P. and to be honest we were unfamiliar with this model. He brought us the request with a few changes that we highly approve of. The original Gatcombe is on a much rounder last and has Dainite soles. This pair is on the trimmer 173 last and has triple leather soles, which makes them much dressier yet still rugged.”
