With quality at the heart of the brand’s complete thinking, NEVILLE is loaded with natural ingredients that work hard to deliver results. Think of NEVILLE as a self-defence system against life’s natural aggressors: grime, pollution, weather and stress, all known to wreak havoc on your skin and hair.
From the people, not only behind the British beauty and lifestyle brand Cowshed, but the Soho House Group, who as we all know are synonymous with luxury, A-list, exclusivity. NEVILLE is the ultimate in premium British grooming for gents who like to look sharp in seconds.
The no nonsense essence of NEVILLE will keep men looking at the top of their game each day with a choice of one of 12 different grooming products, including, NEVILLE Clean & Shave. So face the day with this 2-in-1 timesaver. Simply work into a thick, full lather to cleanse skin, then wash off or use the foam to shave before rinsing away. With moisturising Sugar Beet Extracts and Aloe Vera to soothe and repair, this formula softens and primes skin for a closer shave without irritation.
Also, the NEVILLE Strengthening Shampoo & Conditioner, created for the busy lifestyle needs of modern men, this 2in1 offers a quick fix solution to cleanse and strengthen hair. The dual-action formula helps to increase hair retention and reduce loss and breakage. Seaweed Extracts hydrate, Clove and Bergamot fight anti-oxidants, whilst Amino Acids revitalise and repair the hair and scalp. Within the range we have the Tobacco Musk Cologne, offering a woody oriental scent that is full of character and quintessentially masculine. Top notes of Bergamot and Grapefruit combined with middle notes of Clove and Frankincense combine with deep base notes of Vanilla and Cedarwood.
There was time when style boundaries were very clear cut and definite, casual wear was casual and formal attire was, well formal and the same could very much be said for designer brands and sports wear and never the twain should meet. Then some years ago we started to see the likes of Y3 a collaboration by Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas or Jil Sander for Puma. Then we saw designer brands like Gucci venture in traditional sportswear territory and producing great looking sneakers, giving these Designer/ Sportwear hybrids a run for their money.
Nowadays, this sort of collection is common place from Jeremy Scott for Adidas to John Varvatos for Converse. In fact even the team GB’s kit for the 2013 London Olympics was designed in collaboration with Stella McCartney and Adidas. So we’ve looked at some of the best Designer interpretations of Sportwear trainers around on the market at the moment. Check em out –

As a personal stylist for men I’m fully aware that the current trend for a skinny and super skinny fit is no friend of the gentleman with a manly (read chunky) set of thighs. It’s proving a bit of a nightmare to find much choice in trousers for those clients, especially with chinos, as sometimes when you do go for a more standard fit they can end up looking, how should I put this, a little old fashioned. So, when I heard aboutSpoke I rejoiced, and even more so when I realised I already knew it’s founder, Ben Farren.
Let me tell you about them – they have a tightly edited selection of chinos in a variety of colours, and the brilliant part is that they come in all sizes, going up in 1″ increments in the waist size & leg length, plus they also come in different “builds”. All you need to do is to measure round your thighs, your waist and your inside leg, and punch that into their calculator and it’ll tell you the size and build you need to order. They have a wide range of sizes, going up to a 36″ waist and down to a 28″ leg length, but if they don’t happen to have them in stock they’ll make them up to order.
With free shipping and returns, a pretty reasonable price tag, and a complimentary tape measure if you don’t have one, all in all I reckon this makes for a pretty great service. And with no more pesky alterations needed at the dry cleaners to get a perfectly fitted pair of trousers, whether you have knobbly knees or chunky thighs, you might just find that Spoke is your new best friend.

I do believe it was W.B Yeats that said, “Wine comes in at the mouth. And love comes in at the eye; That’s all we shall know for truth. Before we grow old and die. I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you, and I sigh.”
Now some of you ole syncs out there might take a bit of a hum bug stance to Valentine’s day, and there’s a part of me that very much agrees with you and sees it somewhat, like New Year’s Eve as amateurs night. But nonetheless we should treat our better halves and if we need a little prompting in the right direction every once in a while then so be it, it could be worse.
