N. Peal X 007 / February 29, 2020 by Alexander Jaime

N. PEAL X 007

Exclusive cashmere knitwear brand N. Peal’s partnership with 007 continues in James Bond’s latest on-screen adventure “No Time to Die” with a uniquely created military style sweater in navy. Modelling its design on British Military Commando sweaters, N. Peal developed this piece of knitwear with No Time To Die costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb.

“We wanted to give Bond a unique look in specific scenes of the film,” begins Larlarb, “And yet the piece had to be action-ready. It needed to be a strong silhouette, something that harks back to his military past and which also had a timeless quality to it as well.”

The N. Peal team worked with Larlarb’s brief, detailed photographs of authentic Commando sweaters and samples of extant vintage pieces to create the unique piece of clothing that Bond wears in the film and in his striking character poster.

“When you have the number of decisions that you are required to make, for each and every detail, for every item of clothing, in a film of this scope and size, having a collaboration such as the one we had with N. Peal was a godsend,” Larlarb concludes.

For N. Peal managing director, Adam Holdsworth, the collaboration was equally rewarding.“We’re very pleased to work with the James Bond franchise and our project with Suttirat and No Time To Die is something of which we are very proud.”

N.Peal also supplied a cashmere T-shirt for the film, worn by Madeleine Swann. Both of these signature pieces are exclusively available from N. Peal prior to No Time To Die’s theatrical release in April 2020. Interest can be registered on their website now.

Perfect Trends 2015 – Men's Hair / June 9, 2015 by Alexander Jaime

So your not quite sure if you are hipster or preppy? We have put together a short Trend Report of the modern hairstyles that keep you looking perfect in any climate.

This style defines the guy who likes balance and a little bit of flare. Something that can be worn with the most discerning sharp suit, but come the weekend when the ripped jeans and white v-neck is called upon it adapts.

Don’t be fooled by the softer look.. you still can be a ball buster … but commit to it. Classic parted high sheen/shine. Good clipper work on the bottom of the head leading up to a nice proportion of hair on top. This can be worn in all directions. Best styled when dry avoid the mobsterlook. Be it a polo or a cracking collar this haircut will get people taking you seriously. A touch of facial hair on this one could be the winner.. but don’t go overbeard….

Well the curls can get the girls.. you don’t need a guitar and a motor bike, the right amount of shape and balance you could pull off a larger curl all over, or try a classic cut on the underneath with a slight build up of weighted curls on top.. Product is key... layer layer, layer that product and style it like you don’t care... you might just pull it off.

Tight, short but not completely rude. High quality haircut not just with clippers, but to actually work with the shape of your head. Faded our lines and impeccable tapers. The slightest increase in length but still keeping a curved edge through the round of the head leading to the top. Dry finish, matt paste and waxes. Respect your look and keep this trimmed every 3-4 weeks.
