The Buckler dream man

I had a very pleasant visit to the Buckler presentation at his Soho boutique last saturday evening. The models were arranged on pedestals in a story like progression, from young man to seasoned and sophisticated. His chosen theme was Dorian Gray, but the subtle nuances of style that had some modern flavors.  The vintage appeal was hard to miss with tailored waistcoats, earthy print manderine collar shirts, brown leather belts, and knits all layered together in a rough Into The West kind of way.  And the modern manifested it self with a touch of rock and roll (in the form of a leather vest), asymetrical sweater vests, and more loosely fit denims.

I had the privilege of being introduced to Andrew Buckler himself, Who explained to me that this season was about the details over volume.  And details there were a plenty. The tailoring was impeccable, his mastery of layering subtle textures and fabrics to work in perfect harmony to create the right balance of bookish with outdoorsy man, and subtle nuances in modernity and vintage appeal were all present in his fine craftmanship.

All told, these are pieces that could last a man a lifetime, and will give him what he needs to dress up for a night on the town or to look fabulous whilst roughing it in a cabin in the woods. Frankly, this is the wardrobe of every womans dream man.
