Tassels hosts a range of premium products for dapper dads

With less than one week to go till Father’s Day, if you’re still struggling to find a suitable gift for your sartorial-minded papa, why not make a pit stop at Tassels, one of the leading retailers for gentlemen’s leather goods in the city?

Kunei leather goods

Especially for Father’s Day, Tassels has curated the most carefully-selected collection of luxury accessories, sure to appease the tastes of even the most discerning of gentlemen. On top of the pack is obviously the wide range of leather good products from Kunei, a Japanese brand that’s known for its emphasis on handmade goods, especially for the use of Horween Shell Cordovan, a strong and rare material that’s highly sought after by Cordovan lovers. Their leather goods are even more enhanced by the use of KiryuOmeshi silk, a fabric favoured by the 11th Shōgun himself, for its sturdiness and superior quality.

E.Marinella ties

If silk is what you’d prefer to gift your dearest dad this Father’s Day, then the handmade neckties from E.Marinella should also be among your first port of call. Not only does this Naples-born brand feature vintage silk fabrics that are extremely rare to find these days, they also use a traditional hand-roll technique to give their ties a beautiful well-crafted look.

Fine leather belts

As any fashion-conscious father would know, a fine pair of shoes needs to be supplemented by matching-colour belts for a truly formal look, so in tune with that, Tassel’s most popular brands like Alden, Crockett & Jones, Edward Green and Rivolta are now offering a wide collection of leather belts with finest calfskin to match with their beloved shoes.

So, be it a shoe-belt pairing or a nice necktie, it would not only make your dad look dapper, it would also be a thoughtful gift that he’s sure to cherish.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club and Oriental Watch host bow tie workshop to celebrate upcoming race

In anticipation of the 2017 Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Raceday to be held on 22 October, the organisers, Oriental Watch Company and The Hong Kong Jockey Club, recently hosted an exclusive Do-It-Yourself bow tie workshop at the Happy Valley Racecourse.

Renowned bow-tie designer Weixu Wang shared insights into the art of bow-tie making and guided guests to create their own personalised bow ties. Using PVC plastic, each guest was taught how to make unique bow ties using the simplest of tools and the right techniques.

Weixu Wang himself designed three exclusive bow ties to commemorate the 2017 Oriental Watch Sha Tin Trophy Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Raceday. While the Golden Time bow tie is an elaborate affair in black and gold, with tassels, resembling a horse’s tail, the Glorious Moment bow tie is a quirky collection that looks like a 3D jigsaw puzzle. The Embroidered Glory bow tie is more ‘classic’ by comparison, using flat embroidery to depict the life-like sketch of a horse.

“It is an honour to be invited to design unique bow ties for the 2017 Oriental Watch Sha Tin Trophy Gentlemen’s Bow Tie Raceday”, says Weixu Wang, “Originally created for the royalty, bow ties have now become a popular and stylish item in men’s fashion.”

Gieves & Hawkes reveals ad campaign for Fall Winter 2017 collection

Gieves & Hawkes, prestigious Savile Row outfitter, has just unveiled the ad campaign for the Autumn Winter 2017 collection. Going by the looks of the video, the collection seems inspired by 1970s British rock-and-roll scene.

A colour palette of dark brown, taupe, biscuit, grey, black, maroon and saffron with retro patterns create a carefully curated vintage look.

Led by Design Director Mark Frost, Gieves & Hawkes has also revisited its trademark tailored jacket to give it a sharper, clearer silhouette.

Be it luxurious casual-wear or sophisticated formal-wear, Gieves & Hawkes remains gentlemen’s go-to brand for any occasion for the last 246 years.
