Mr Fogg’s Whisky And Cigars

Mr Froggs Bar

Father’s Day is coming up fast. If your father figure has enough cufflinks and expensive socks, why not treat him to something a little more experiential? Mr Fogg’s Residence in Mayfair is running a Cigar and Whisky Pairing event that does exactly what it says on the tin, offering some heavy-duty pairings, courtesy of Bruichladdich, Hunter & Frankau cigars and Aspinal of London; mr-foggs.com 

Gieves Made To Measure

Gieves and Hawkes Suit

Summer Season is here, so you’ll be in need of a new suit. Where better to visit, then, than No.1 Savile Row for a made-to-measure Gieves & Hawkes job. The entire service has been revamped, with redeveloped cutting blocks and a six week turnaround time. The Gieves team has also created a range of full looks for the Summer, to take you from Ascot, to Henley, to Wimbledon. Get yourself kitted out in seersucker, and I’ll see you on Centre Court; gievesandhawkes.com

London Fashion Week Men’s Show, 8-10 June

London Fashion Week

It’s back. You know those few days last June, when everyone on the Strand seemed to be taken directly from a Geneva Catwalk, or a cut scene from Zoolander? Well, that was London Fashion Week Men’s Spring/ Summer 2018. This year’s iteration has ramped it up, showcasing the best of British design, from the established set of Belstaff, Oliver Spencer and Patrick Grant’s E Tautz, to the upstarts showing off their wares in the HQ Designer Spaces. There might be some odd-looking designs, but don’t be surprised to see them on the shelves come Summer 2020; londonfashionweek.co.uk
