Rule The Road (or pavement) with Belstaff

Designed to protect you against the winter elements, Belstaff jackets feature a number of key details designed for durability and warmth. Launched in 1924 the British brand has become known for its high performance and waterproof outerwear, with the classic waxed jacket becoming a style staple for any man’s wardrobe. This season’s Belstaff comes complete with subtle updates for a timeless finish.

Roadmaster Jacket in Rosewood Purple

The Roadmaster Jacket is one of Belstaff’s most iconic silhouettes and is back for autumn winter 16 in a new rosewood purple colourway. Featuring the same premium waxed cotton outer, checked lining, and button closure as it’s predecessors, the Roadmaster is a subtle yet welcome update to the every day classic.

Speedmaster Jacket in Black

Constructed using an extremely soft lambskin leather, the Speedmaster Jacket pays homage to the original Trialmaster but modernises it in a streamlined silhouette. With a variety of front press stud fastened pockets and an adjustable belt and collar, the Speedmaster is a truly practical piece.

Trialmaster Jacket in Blue

The Trialmaster has earned its place as a part of Belstaff’s legacy, with a regular fit silhouette. The jacket is usually crafted from waxed cotton, however this season the brand have replaced the usual material with a water-repellent poly outer for functionality. Other features include a two-way zip fastening with an added popper placket for security and an internal drawstring to the waist. Four pockets are featured to the front, with signature Belstaff branding to the sleeve on a leather patch for a luxe finish.

Trialmaster 2015 Jacket in Dusty Brown

Typically presented in a waxed outer, Belstaff have produced the signature Trialmaster Jacket with a water repellant poly material that adds lightness to the coat. Press stud fasten pockets, reinforced elbows and an adjustable collar add renowned practicality to the Trialmaster. With the embroidered Belstaff branding to the sleeve adding an iconic touch.

Daniel Craig wears Canada Goose to ‘Spectre’ photocall in Austria

The Canada Goose Lodge Hoody has recently become the talk of the menswear world. The reason being that it was worn by Daniel Craig when he appeared at the Spectre photo call in Austria. Craig sported the Lodge hoody in Spirit Blue when filming in Sölden throughout January and February this year. The lodge hoody was stylishly worn with dark blue jeans, lace-up boots and the Persol 714 folding sunglasses to finish off the look.

Canada Goose joins a list of premium brands to have been featured in the production of Bond films, including Barbour and Sunspel. Sunspel’s polo shirts and the Tokihito Sports jacket from Barbour have both made an appearance in the new 007 series.

The features of the versatile Lodge hoody make the piece extremely practical for the upcoming colder months, offering a 750 white Duck down fill and ripstop construction. The waterproof hoody offers a slim fitting silhouette for a more sophisticated and flattering look. Not only does this piece look impeccable, its accents range from premium warmth and windproof protection, to having an adjustable hood for better protection against the elements. Lycra stretch cuffs offer both comfort and extra fit, making your experience wearing this jacket as cosy as possible.

Get the look

Why not wear the jacket like Bond himself? Here are a few tips on how to style the Canada Goose Lodge Hoody based on Daniel Craig’s appearance in Austria.

Fracap M120 Scarponcino Suede Boots in Coffee

Persol Crystal Folding Sunglasses in Crystal Suprema Havana

Brands from Bond

Bond fans are awaiting the highly anticipated release of Spectre, the new Bond film. The film is set to be released on November 6th and will be the fourth modern Bond film starring Daniel Craig. To make the wait a little easier, we thought we would throwback to Casino Royale and Skyfall, where we see Craig sport both Barbour and Sunspel in his role as Bond.

The Sunspel ‘Riviera’ Polo

Sunspel has been a prime label for Bond, the brand even recreated the iconic blue shorts worn by Sean Connery in Thunderball, 1965. In the 2006 film Casino Royale, Daniel Craig is seen in several Sunspel shirts. Most famously the blue polo which was tailored especially for him to wear by the brand. The design is based on the 1950’s classic made for the Italian Riviera, hence how it adapted to its name, the Riviera polo shirt.

The Barbour Beacon Sports Jacket

The original jacket worn by Daniel Craig in Skyfall was the Barbour Tokihito Sports Jacket. Director Sam Mendes wanted to add a vintage theme to this particular scene, which was achieved perfectly with the use of this jacket. The Barbour Beacon Sports jacket is a recreation of the one used in the film, looking pretty much the same with a few small changes along the way. This jacket is ideal for the unpredictable British weather with its 100% waxed cotton outer. It sports a slim fit which contributes to its classic and stylish look.

Barbour Tartan

It’s no secret that Tartan plays a prime role in adding a classic authentic vibe to Barbour’s staple pieces. All Tartans originate from the same ‘sett.’ Meaning they share the same pattern and weight of lines. The Tartan has been also confirmed by Scottish experts Kinloch Anderson in Edinburgh.From the opening of Barbour in 1894 till the 1990’s, Tartan was used as linings in various jackets. The Dress Gordon Tartan was the most distinctive which the brand used, found in the earlier versions of the Bedale jacket. This was until Helen Barbour ventured to Edinburgh, later making the discovery that Dress Gordon Tartan was not exclusive to the Barbour name. It was then that Dame Margaret Barbour contacted specialists Kinloch Anderson, who helped research their family history and create a tartan exclusive to Barbour.

Barbour’s wide range of different Tartans consist of;

Dress Tartan
Classic Tartan
Modern Tartan
Ancient Tartan
Muted Tartan
Cardinal Tartan
Sporting Tartan

The design of the classic Barbour Tartans derived from the district of Ayrshire, where the Barbour name originated. Together the colours create a neutral palette of rich reds, greens, browns and yellows. Over the years they have been entwined into different garments where designers see them to match. It is normally found that the navy pieces feature the matching Dress Tartan lining, where Sage garments boast the Ancient Tartan, and black is paired with the Modern Tartan. A number of pieces include the use of Tartan, whether it’s a lining of a jacket, a pocket or collar trim, a hat, scarf of different accessory.

Here at Aphrodite we stock various garments which present the unique and timeless use of Tartan, including the iconic Beacon Sports jacket, based on the exact jacket Daniel Craig wore in Skyfall. Also the Monty bag, which is a staple accessory offering the full classic Barbour Tartan to the outer.

The Classic Fred Perry Mountain Parka

Fred Perry Parka

With a history that is draped in subculture and some of Britain’s most influential and iconic fashion movements, Fred Perry has become a national treasure when it comes to displaying our natural penchant for sharp, clean and historic design.

From twin tip polo shirts to gingham checked shirts, Fred Perry have come up with a whole host of timelessly iconic pieces that have stood the test of time to remain eternally desirable. From sporting beginnings as a project into sportswear by Britain’s first Wimbledon winner, Fred Perry himself, this homegrown label soon developed to become a fashion label that always maintained its effortlessly cool sporty undercurrent. From mods on their mopeds to the kids dancing the night away in the Northern Soul scene, Fred Perry carried an affinity with some of the strongest movements in Britain’s subculture history.

As a result, elements of the Fred Perry label have become beacons of style in the uniforms of a host of fashion movements, then slowly worked their way into a classic universal heritage look.

The Fred Perry Parka is the perfect example of how Fred Perry has influenced casual style with their directional looks. Originally a firm favourite amongst mods, the Parka jacket’s long cut and sleek cut provided the perfect protection from the elements for any sharply dressed mod. The Fred Perry Mountain Parka pays homage to exactly this, bringing forth that classic long bodied look, whilst also adding extra touches such as contrasting buttons and extra pockets to perfectly blend a heritage look with modern styling demands.
