A decent collection by Ede & Ravenscroft with a few key pieces which was nice to see, and spoke out a bit more about the brand, with a strong leather long coat lined in lamb’s wool. Casual velvet blazers with parsley scarves and a black wing coloured shirt used casually with a casual blazer. Suits were generally good with a few double breasted pieces. Overall a decent showing.

Astatically pleasing to the creative eye and the imagination was very well entertained with this collection.Dinner suits were the eye catcher of the evening, with classic patterns such as the dogtooth, enlarged with a satin shawl lapel finish. A ‘house of cards’ dinner suit was presented to us all in a truly astute manner, with a glass cabinet surrounding the display with playing cards in the pockets and hands to match the jacket. A good helping of robes, shirts and suits were on show, all bearing a variety of colours and themes, with suits carrying well layered checks or classic pinstripes. This collection presented us with a very different side to this brand. A well put together collection indeed.

A very high fashion influenced collection from Topman design, and a very strong one at that. An 
intriguing collection offering a variety of cuts, from oversized, slim, fitted to long, cropped and 
flared. The use of oversized woollen and faux fur based jackets were accompanied by fitted flared 
jeans. There was also astrakhan looking fur fabrics on show, patterned wearable shawl hoodies and 
big bushy woollen coats. This collection was definitely 70’s influenced with a great suit selection of 
four buttoned single breasted and double breasted 2 piece suits with slim fitted silhouettes. Tartan 
style checks were used on some suits, long in the body, just above knee length giving that old school 
yet modern clash. This collection was very creative and meshed a lot of good opposing details 
together.

Chester Barrie showed a variety of wintery classics, with Donegal’s and flannels mainly the centre console. A display of Winchester collared extreme cutaway shirts and the pin collared shirts nicely accompanied a dark grey overcoat. A lot dark colours were used in this collection and it was a consistent showing lapelled waistcoats used casually was a good twist on some of the casual range. Again a good variety shown here in general and it was good to see some tailoring classics brought back to life.

Thomas Pink offered a good collection of shirting with checks and bold colours for us to all open our 
eyes a bit wider to take in. with scarves ties and pockets squares to match the pallets of colours, it 
was all well put together. They also offered a good tailoring range of blazers and overcoats. The 
overcoats caught my eye the most with bright velvet colours such as yellow and red used on grey 
herringbone, created a good contrast, something slightly special for the winter.
