A few weeks have passed since I was down in London for menswear trade show Jacket Required for their SS14 showing. My Jacket Required Part 1 round-up featured both familiar brands and lots of new ones, which I will be keeping a close eye on in the coming seasons. If you caught Part 1 there was also tons of florals, bright colours and patterns; Part 2 continues in a similar theme.

It was great to finally meet the boys behind London based label, Collective Noun. Specialising in outerwear (first image), they had some lovely coated chore jackets and macs, perfect for the Blighty's predictability unpredictable weather. Esemplare win the prize for the most bonkers use of polka-dots and florals on techy down jackets, genius. Surfwear offerings by both Quiksilver and Pendleton were both very much my bag, Pendleton have reintroduced this range which was first around in the 50s. Hentsch Man's Steve Shirt (featured here) gets reworked with new prints, and finally Shades of Grey's mixture of hawaiian, floral and checks was a collection I could see myself donning down the local boozer.

This was my first time at a menswear-only trades and I'm glad I decided to take trip down. It was an good experience and a great chance to catch up with some of my buddies in the industry.

Victoria House at Bloomsbury Square, London houses menswear trade show Jacket Required and early this month I decided to take the big hike down from the North West to check it out for myself. It was a great chance to connect with some guys in the industry and actually put names to faces, especially the ones I've been chatting to online for years.

I bloody love menswear, as we all know and going to a trade show is basically the ultimate tease. It gives you a chance to see what your favorite brands have been working on for SS14 and also a  platform to discover new ones. Notable favourites included - Burtonwode's ace silky pajamas and underwear, Levi's Vintage Clothing and Made & Crafted's offerings were as mad as a box of snakes but totally genius, which is another reason why I love Levi's so much, Ebbets' baseball caps and a new discovery Realm & Empire. Fascinating story behind their collection and history and lovely people too. The floral pattern on the shirt above was taken from a piece of wallpaper found in a building that was bombed in WW1. Plus they've produced their own ale, what's not to like?!

I won't start to dissect the collections one-by-one as we'd be here all day, I'll leave the images to do the talking. Jacket Required SS 14 - Part 2 coming next week, I've got plenty more good stuff to share.
