Paul,
Leather jackets? Where can I find a really good one? I bought one on the high street last time and it lasted me nearly three years. However the "leather" has now begun to flake and lift and it’s time for an upgrade. I have saved to buy a better quality one this time but I don’t even know where to begin to look. Where should I shop?
Thanks,
Alan.
Alan,
When I think of leather jackets I think of All Saints. Not the girl band Alan, the clothing store. If you have three or four hundred quid to spend then an All Saints leather jacket is well worth the investment.
Depending on which type you prefer, All Saints usually have the answer. I like a collar on my leathers. This
Kane Biker jacket is about as legit as it gets…
All the best,
Paul.
Paul,
I have just been reading about the latest H&M collaboration with Alexander Wang. When does it arrive for sale in Ireland? Secondly are H&M aware that "Wang" is slang for.... ahem.... manhood, in some parts?
Alice, Cork.
Alice,
How are you?
The official launch happened only last night in New York. It will take a matter of two weeks before it arrives here. Expect lots of sportswear, or Alexander Wang's broken interpretation thereof.
And yes Alice, H&M are aware of this slightly unfortunate coincidence. In fact they're pretty pleased about it since a whole range of sweaters and tees in the collection are emblazoned with the word "Wang." I trust we'll see you wearing one very soon!!
Thanks,
Paul.
Paul,
I need some advice on Christmas presents. My brother has no watch. This year I want to buy him a high quality, elegant yet durable timepiece. Any suggestions?
Dan, Waterford.
Dan,
I have just the suggestion for your dilemma. Do you watch motorsports?
If so, you'll know the Tissot watch brand. Tissot have worked hard on growing their brand through MotoGP sponsorship. They are also the official timekeeper for AFL games in Australia. Tony Parker, the NBA player for San Antonio Spurs, is an ambassador for the brand as they also are the official timekeepers for the International Basketball Association.
Anyway Dan, Tissot is the man's watch brand. The Tissot T-Race Moto GP 2014 is all of those things you are looking for in watch. High quality, elegant and durable, this is a collector’s item. It should do the job for you.
Cheers,
Paul
