For a few years now, the humble scarf has been transformed from a necessity into a fashion item and this year sales of the Scarf have gone ballistic with sales of scarves reaching record levels.

No longer is your scarf just there to keep you warm, its there to make a statement about you and your fashion sense!

At the recent Premiere of the new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, a number of the ‘celeb’ guests were seen sporting scarves, not with hats and coats but with waistcoats and shirts, worn instead of a tie and in a similar way that your would wear a cravat.

Here at Laurie Hopkins Menswear we have one of the largest selection of Scarves available including, Silk Scarves, Wool Scarves, Camel Hair Scarves and even 100% Pure cashmere Scarves.

We recently had a customer who needed an extra long inside leg trouser, his wife had bought him a 34″ Inside leg but it just was not long enough.

So after a quick phone call to Meyer in Germany they came up with a solution and supplied him with a pair of 36″ inside leg cotton trousers from their stock service range.

This makes a great alternative to having to have made to measure trousers and is so much quicker.

Whilst we don’t stock this length inside leg as a rule, we are more than happy to order these trousers on a special order and it usually takes around 4 working days from them to arrive.

When we buy for the coming seasons we tend to see many of our suppliers on different days and its not always easy to remember just exactly what you have bought from one supplier and another. Obviously we make notes as to what we have bought, styles, colours etc but getting exact shades is often difficult.

This season Jayne has put together an almost ‘perfect’ display of a Gabicci Sweater and Shirt, A pair of Meyer Trousers and another shirt from Melka.

A stunning display of Gabicci Sweater and Shirt, Meyer trousers and a Melka shirt.

The colours, shades and textures in each of the garments blend perfectly, complementing each other and creating a stunning combination of garments. Even if I do say so myself, we didn’t do a bad job with the buying from these ranges from 3 seperate agents on different days.

This week we received a delivery of Milestone Leather jackets and as usual, they are superb quality.

Both jackets are Nappa Leather, ( Nappa leather or Napa leather is a full-grain leather, typically dyed, made from unsplit kid-, lamb- or sheep-skin by tanning with salts of chromium or aluminium sulphate, and noted for softness and durability. It is often used in high-quality leather products such as high-end furniture and accessories such as wallets and luggage. One example would be interiors of luxury vehicles - source Wikipedia) made using lamb skins and are extremely soft to touch.
