Forget every other advert, Guinness, Bud Light, Pepsi, Coco Cola and so on. This in our view is the best advert ever. “Epic” and “mind-blowing” are just some of the words being used to describe this advert for Volvo Trucks. It is pretty clear to see why this went viral, with Jean-Claude Van Damme doing the
Bobby Strom is the most revered personal trainer in Hollywood. He’s the man that A-list celebrities go to when they want to get in shape and with a client list including the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson, it’s fair to say he knows his stuff. One of his latest projects was Joel Kinnaman, who stars as the lead role in the Blockbuster remake of Robocop. We talked with him about how he trained Joel, what kind of exercises he thinks are most effective as well as any tips he can give for those wanting to train like an action film star.
If you’re sitting on a small fortune and wondering what to do with your hard earned cash, then this alluring investment opportunity should grab your attention. Little Rollright, a historic village in the Cotswolds, has been put on the market, with an asking price of £18million. Included in the package is a 10-bedroom mansion, a Grade II-listed rectory, five surrounding cottages, a lake as well as 509 acres of land. If the excitement of buying your very own village isn’t enough though, you’ll be blessed with a number of celebrity neighbours including Jeremy Clarkson, Blur bassist, Alex James, and none other than the Prime Minister, Mr David Cameron himself.
In a sartorial sense, the winter months are, for many, the most exciting time of the year, given that the possibility of layering up and creating tonal outfits with plenty of depth and character is rife. When the summer sun rears its head from behind the clouds though, we would argue that summer dressing is even more appealing. This is especially true of tailoring, when lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen and seersucker replace the heavyweight wools and tweeds of winter. Bolder colours come out too and for us gents it’s a time of reinvention and individual expression. With so much choice out there though, it can be hard to whittle it down so we’ve done the hard work for you. These are our picks for the best summer suits for every budget.
Clearly there are times when honesty is the best policy, if you’re under oath, sure it might be advised to be honest in this situation. But if you simply have an uncontrollable desire to reel of every bad thing you ever done in your life, well you can save that for your shrink…
This summer, we look at three of the best yachts you can charter. With their exquisite designs that ooze opulence, these yachts are irresistible for cruising around the Mediterranean. And if you don’t get a chance in the summer, they’re always great for a winter away in the Maldives or the Caribbean.
At The Gentleman’s Journal we are drawn to depth and substance, a page-turner we find hard to let out of our sight until the final word has been read. Here’s our pick of the bunch when it comes to biographies.
The life of a millionaire is one that is privileged and for most of us, we can only dream of the endless luxuries that they get to enjoy on a regular basis. Imagine driving the fastest cars, living in the biggest houses and wearing the very best clothes that money can buy. Of course, all of these luxuries are achieved through nothing but hard work and determination, but the results show how the wealthy can afford to live a life of uninterrupted opulence. How millionaires spend their Friday afternoons is another matter though, and often, excess can get in the way of productivity.
Here we go again, festival season has rolled around. For most, this is the best time of the musical year, but if festivals are not your preferred fare when it comes to summer, brace yourself because you are about to be overwhelmed of an onslaught of social media updates and festival related blog posts. That being said, we at The Gentleman’s Journal want a chance to convert you to festival fanatic by showing you our favourite festivals and, more importantly, how you can orient them in the most gentlemanly possible.
With summer days on the horizon, it’s important to start building up your summer wardrobe with style. Here is our round up of the best pieces from Gucci for this summer.
In celebration of their 15th anniversary, Victory have produced the Cross Country Tour Limited Edition….
New wearable technology devices are being released at an uncontrollable rate, but what makes Motorola’s smart watch different?
Maison Martin Margiela is pairing up with Converse once again to bring his signature love of white paint to a classic item of footwear.
Waterproof smartphones, cameras, video recorders and watches are becoming the avant-garde, with decades of style, finesse and quality keeping up to speed.
Cars fascinate people for a number of different reasons. Speed, power, cornering ability, looks; all of these factors contribute to why people want to sign on the dotted line.
You may not think it, but your choice of drink says a lot about you. Stereotypes, gender or otherwise are still, unfortunately, commonplace and when it comes to drinking alcohol at least, you can be sure that those around, including the bartender, will be summing you up to within an inch of your life. It seems everyone has an opinion so if you want to come off favourably then check out the following and act accordingly.
Our world is constantly evolving and over time the human race has had a detrimental effect on what planet Earth looks like. Although some of our impact has been negative, we have also created numerous awe-inspiring constructions that display skill and determination. Some of the most amazing sights were created by nature however, so what follows is a combined list of the most beautiful modern day wonders of the world.
Whether it’s wading through thick solferino heather in search of the king of gamebirds, flicking a fly over roiling riffles or glassing the hill while clad in Ratcatcher tweed that takes your pulse up a notch, Gledfield Estate has it all.
