The Weekend Want List

As quickly as it began, June is nearly over and we’re heading full-throttle into the real months of summer. Pub gardens are filled to the brim, the parks have become a play-ground for the relaxed and carefree and the majority of you will be preparing for holidays abroad. So, we think it’s time to update that wardrobe again, take a look at our selection of this weekend’s want list…

1.SAINT LAURENT SUNGLASSES, , A man can never have too many pairs of sunglasses, and whilst you can never go too far wrong with a classic pair of Persol’s or Ray Ban’s, this week we can’t get enough of Saint Laurent. First they bring out one of our favourite campaigns to date (see it for yourself here: ) and now they bring us a selection of aviators to rival even the most classic of pairs. In an array of colours, we’ll be donning these ”’ for the foreseeable month.

2. AUGUSTUS HARE, , Here at The Gentleman’s Journal, we love a bit of preppy old school style, so it will come as no surprise that we couldn’t resist including this playful bow tie from Augustus Hare. The pure silk, hand woven accessory is a wonderfully amusing addition to your summer look, the lobster design simply begs to be showcased at a sea view spot this season.

3. GALET LOAFERS, , We simply can’t get enough of these French canvas loafers from Galet, and if you don’t know about them already, then you should! Playful and imaginative, the hand drawn patterns will put a smile on everyones face even on a cloudy day. If we could have it our way we’d have a pair in every colour, but greed aside, these green ‘Turtles & Shades’ pair are the perfect addition to a summer wardrobe fit for the Riviera.

4. DOM REILLY HELMET CASE, , With the sound of revving engines and the smell of burning rubber only a matter of miles away, we turn our attention to leatherwear. Yes, Silverstone is only a week away. So, what better way to acknowledge the great race than with this exceptionally luxurious leather helmet case from Dom Reilly?
