Rock a Bow Tie
Trim yet dashing, it’s the dapper man’s version of the skinny straight tie. You can tie one on with almost anything, be it an easy cotton suit, a cardigan, or an oxford with the sleeves rolled up. Maybe you’ll end up looking like André 3000 or some discriminating mixologist at a speakeasy cocktail joint. The point is, it’s not about looking like a poindexter; it’s about looking cool.
Our pick of the week’s new items? This impeccable #Burberry Prorsum scarf (shop now > http://bit.ly/KH74sU)
CHURCH’S: ‘STRATFORD’ SHOE
With typically sturdy uppers made from the finest leathers (the kind that at first give you blisters to remind you of their quality), the attached designs can hardly be described as running shoes. This hasn’t prevented Church’s from drawing inspiration from the forthcoming Olympic games, with the ‘Stratford Style’, which has been created in 17 chromatic variations, all playing on a Union Jack theme. We’ll be sprinting round the corner to Regent Street, when each of these is made available from Church’s flagship Regent Street Store come mid July.

It’s On Sale: Loake Shoes
Roderick Charles, a UK retailer, is having a sale on Loake shoes. Options include the suede loafers and chukkas you see above, which are priced $113 and $178 respectively. Additionally, you can take 10% off your order if you recommend five friends to their website.
If you’re outside of the European Union, you may be able to knock off another 20% off for VAT (European taxes). However, you’ll have to call their store to inquire whether they’ll honor this. I wasn’t able to reach them for comment this morning.
Watch of the Week
As you should have seen in our June issue we are feeling a digital watch right now. For the hot summer months we’re getting on board with Casio’s Neon Core Digital in cool, bright orange.

Stuff We Like: Rugby Custom Shirting
The website makes it incredible easy, if not down right fun (like a bespoke tailoring video game), to build the shirt you want with any combination of fabric, pocket or none, collar style, cuff, and monogram.

Street Style Breakdown: Yale Breslin
Yale is a freelance writer who’s done some work for the Eye recently (his day job is with Jay-Z at Life + Times), and we’ve become a fan of his casual, kinda slouchy style.

Deepest black and brightest blue. Reminds me of a neon lit Pizza Express. Sort of late 80’s- non? There’s a sax solo issuing in my ears. It’s a definite lunch break option.
