Want list | The new Sony Walkman

Style Guide | Ties by Alexander Olch

Tie-maker Alexander Olch knows how to keep our attention. The former filmmaker (he first started making ties to give out as gifts on set) put his skills to use in this latest video, which stars French model Aurelie Claudel. Narrated by the man himself, it’s a great way to learn the four-in-hand knot. It’s also worth watching for seeing how attractive Claudel looks, even with a moustache and slightly freaky dubbing.

Could go either way | Hair Hide Belt

Could go either way | Hair Hide Belt

Ever wondered what your belt would look like if it had hair? Wonder no more. Liverpool based Anglo Leather are belt specialists, who work using high quality Italian leather and usually solely ship to Japan’s fancier stores. This time they’ve made some belts for Superdenim and added some hair to it. It goes without saying but just in case anyone thinks it’ll be a lark, keep this well away from any office attire. (£75, Superdenim)

Smart Buy | Return of the mac

It’s taken a while but it’s suddenly become a proper British winter. Which means one thing; time to start bringing out the raincoats. If you don’t have one yet then worry no more, because this River Island mac does the job. It’s coated, so it’s one of the few things that’ll end up looking better after a few showers. Unlike your hair, which you’ll be best off covering with an umbrella. (£55, River Island)
