This feature first appeared in September but I wanted to update it as I've since visited Chester Barrie's refurbished store in Savile Row which brings a fresh, brighter look to the brand:

| The refurbished Chester Barrie store in Savile Row |
With space dedicated to occasion wear and (shortly) for the made-to-measure offering, the store gives a welcoming and contemporary feel. The Autumn/Winter collection, (featured below) is now available.
Chester Barrie have over the years produced real sartorial gems and their AW18 collection, created under the direction of Simon Kirby, is no exception. While at first sight very classic in appearance, there are little twists that add interest without causing too much concern to those gentlemen who prefer their style to be low key but high quality - subtlety is the word.
Blues, greys and burgundy prevail and the addition of roll neck knitwear and a chambray shirt add very contemporary touches to the crisply classic collection. A mixture of Italian and British cloths give a quality feel to the well-tailored shapes.
Altogether this is a versatile and stylish collection that will be beautifully made and carefully styled to work together to give an understated and elegant appearance. A collection of accessories, ties, umbrellas and brief cases, adds to the overall British look. See Chester Barrie.
For those who, like me, like to know these things, The Chester Barrie photoshoot was at The Ardkinglas Estate, Loch Fyne, Scotland.
