Shaun Gordon isn't yet a grey fox, but he has unofficial status as such. A man of real style, he dresses in that timeless way that suits a man of any age (the jacket is vintage, tweaked by his tailor). He's a perfect gentleman and a skilled tie-maker, launching a new range of beautiful ties this week.

I met Shaun for coffee recently and our conversation roamed far and wide. We found that we were both influenced by stylish grandfathers. Shaun says on his website -
My earliest memory of my Grandfather was him dressed impeccably sharp. He was very charming and most importantly happy. I never understood why he dressed the way he did until I wore my first tie to school, my first job interview, first date, weddings, formal and social events. I had the feelings of pride, importance, confidence, a sense of purpose and happiness every time I wore a tie.
Now, I wear ties everyday because the act of wearing them is a ritual for starting the day by feeling good. This is the reason why I am a tie-maker to become apart of your daily experience and creating for you luxury limited edition hand-made ties.
Shaun carefully selects silks and told me that he spends much time meticulously making each piece - a lot of hard work and love goes into each tie. They are objects of real beauty and real bargains at £75 each - no machine-made objects these.
