HQ visit of the week

We had a surprise visit from the most handsome wizard magician man out there – Drummond Money-Coutts. We love nothing more than when he visits – his tricks never fail to amaze (and slightly scare) us. Click here to enter the dark side…

Movember

October 31st, 2012

As you’re all fully aware, during November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces that we see around the world; with the aim to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

As an office full of girls – we are unable to sprout moustaches but we thought we could lend a hand by letting Fin and Sian demonstrate their favorite type of moustache to bestow some inspiration:

If you are thinking of taking part in Movember this year, we highly recommend www.movember.com where you can not only donate and see this years contestants, but also purchase accessories to keep those moustaches tamed throughout November. AMAZING!

Good luck to all those taking part this month, we hope you raise lots of money for such a worthy cause. Please send in your pictures of before and after to Fin’s HQ for a special Fin’s blog appearance – info@finsforhim.com

Happy Halloweennn

Yarnz

Introducing a new ‘With Fin’s’ collection this season –Yarnz. We have the UK exclusive on the cult brand’s men’s collection of graphic prints in wear-with-all shades. We think they are perfect for adding a pop of colour to your winter wardrobe and will keep you cosy, yet stylish for all your chilly commutes.

Bond, James Bond

First and foremost, a James Bond channel – who’s genius idea was THAT? The ideal run-up to the release of James Bond, Skyfall. This weekend, there’s only one place you’ll find us – plonked in front of a cinema screen with extra large salty popcorn in hand. #Toooooexcited

Daniel Craig - #lush

Walpole

Fin made an appearance at Walpole Summit last week, offering advice on tricks of the trade for the luxury industry alongside Bec from Astley Clark. They had a remarkable response from the audience and dished out some great recommendations and guidance. AND we also got luxury goodie bags. Bonus.

We waved goodbye to Vicky, our terrific wholesale manager last week! So, this called for a team Fin’s lunch date at Brooklyn Bites. Fin and Sally experienced yet another spooky synergised day #doubledenim.

So, the past two weeks has not been the greatest at HQ since we have all been ill. Will we ever recover?

AW12 Bloggers Pick

October 9th, 2012

There is a definite chill in the air in London this week, which means that Winter is on the horizon.

So yet again, the time has come where we have asked some of our top notch bloggers to give us their take on their favourite shoe from our AW12 collection. First up is Sabir from Men’s Style Pro. Fin and Sabir met at this summers PROJECT show in New York where we were showcasing our SS13 collection, and since then, Men’s Style Pro has crawled it’s way into our top favorite menswear bloggers.

Obviously our favourite feature from Men’s Style Pro was last months ‘Shoe Brands To Watch‘ where Sabir styled our infamous Cooper Brogues with the latest trends and fashion accessories. #MustRead

Sabir M.Peele

A bit about Sabir:

Sabir M. Peele is the founder and creative director of Men’s Style Pro, the men’s style and fashion blog. Featured in Esquire Magazine in 2010 as one of the “5 Best Dressed Real Men in America“, Sabir takes his sense of style seriously, but, not too serious that he can’t laugh at himself. Being recognized for his style prowess, brands like Johnston & Murphy have tapped him for national campaigns over the last year. When not helping guys improve their style or consulting with major brands on campaigns, you can find Sabir hanging with his wife and photographer around the Philadelphia area. You can stay up to date with him via Twitter @MensStylePro and via Instragram @MensStylePro.

About Men’s Style Pro:

Men’s Style Pro was created in 2010 as a guide to help guys everywhere improve their personal style by providing tips and advice about the world of menswear. Over the past two years, Men’s Style Pro has expanded from style tips to full features and creative campaigns with major fashion brands and labels.

What is your favorite shoe from the Fin’s AW12 collection and why?

My favorite shoe in the Fin’s For Him AW12 line is by far the Peregrine Suede Loafer in red. Red is often not seen as a masculine color choice in shoes, however; the classic design and supple suede of the Peregrine makes them a no-brainer as your standout loafer this fall.

The Peregrine Red Loafers in Red

How would you style it?

These loafers would add a great pop of color to a French grey, trouser and waistcoat combination. That particular combo would be something that I would wear to work, but, for a casual day these loafer would pair most spectacularly with a dark rinse pair of jeans, tan cable-knit cardigan and a crisp white buttoned- down Oxford white shirt.

Who do you think the Peregrine man is?

I think a Peregrine man knows and enjoys classic menswear but likes a bit of modern flair in terms of colour selection. Call him daring? I would! The Peregrine man dares to be bold, stylish and recognized for his since of individualism.

What is the best thing about Autumn apart from the Fin’s collection?

The best thing about Autumn aside from the Fin’s collection is that it’s that time of year that I can start to wear my favorite wools and flannels. Also, it’s the best time for a hearty drink or two.

We like the sound of that! Click here to check out Sabir’s blog.

Thanks Sabir!
