THE VINTAGE SHOWROOM - THE BOOK

Classic workwear, sports and military clothing

Curated by connoisseurs of vintage clothing, The Vintage Showroom is a vast collection of rare 20th-century pieces that fashion designers and stylists pay to view, using the cut and detailing of individual garments as inspiration for their own work. Offering one-of-a-kind access, Vintage Menswear now makes this unique resource available in book form.

Featuring 130 of the most influential examples of 20th-century and earlier European, American and Asian utilitarian tailoring and design, the book is divided into three sections of sportswear, militaria and workwear, covering everything from 1940s flying jackets and polar exploration suits to vintage French denims. Stunning full-page bleeds and front and back views showcase ground-breaking designs in concept, shape and cut. (Check Long John for more pics)

DRAKE'S @ No.3 CLIFFORD STREET, LONDON

Drake's opened it doors of No.3 Clifford Street almost a year ago on May 20th 2011. The building is a landmark in the heart of Mayfair on a stone throw from Saville Row and Bond street. The store is a must for those who love Haberdashery, well stocked with ties, bow ties, socks, etc. Enjoy the comfort of the Harris Tweed covered armchairs, the fire place and cabinetry from the Natural History Museum and simple wooden floors.

Drake's was founded in 1977 by Michael Drake, Jeremy Hull and Isabel Dickson, the original Drakes collection was comprised of mens quality scarves. A range of English handmade ties and printed silk handkerchiefs quickly followed, and today Drakes is the largest independent producer of handmade ties in England. On Friday there is someone from the factory in the store to show how a tie is finished with the slip-loop. The slip loop secures the slippers thread which allows the tie to move freely along it's entire length. Your purchase will be wrapped in a silk foil with a full explanation of a Drake's tie.
