Neither an old-school body-warmer nor a bulky waist-coat, this, my friends is what’s known as a tunic. An unashamedly traditional and entirely English made garment, that’s been beautifully…

OK so what are you going to buy your mum (and your missus on behalf of her grateful offspring) for Mother’s Day this year? Flowers? Chocolates? Booze? Why…
What I wouldn’t give for 36 hours in North America right now, a weekend admiring sky-scrapers in Manhattan or looking at Redwoods in Yosemite would provide just the kind of break that I need.
We don’t often cover stuff like furniture like those of leather office chairs here on Proper but we’re all grown up now. We’ve got kids and degenerative health…

I bought some New Balance from Urban Industry the other week. I bought the wrong size. Sometimes I do that because I’m silly. Thankfully I was able to…
