Want to look sharper? The Style Guide 2017
Great British craftsmanship you need to possess
From your suit to your sunglasses, you don’t need to stray from British shores to kit yourself out in style

Couture suit
Crow & Jester
Couture may be a term normally associated with elaborate ladies’ dresses, but now men can get a piece of the action thanks to Crow & Jester. Founder Simon Horsley is not only responsible for the design of every suit, but he also tailors them, too. The result is a truly individual piece that’s a combination of the client’s vision and Horsley’s considerable fashion experience (he’s worked with huge Brit fashion labels including Paul Smith).

Couture suit
Crow & Jester
It is, for Horsley, all about personality-driven design, which takes the concept of wearing your heart on your sleeve to a whole new level. Appointments take place in central London or, if you’re feeling particularly decadent, you can be measured for your new threads at Stoke Park before a round of golf. £Various; crowandjester.co.uk

Flag Salon Chair
Howe
Howe’s Salon chair allows you to sit on a piece of British heritage, quite literally. Each piece is tailor-made to your specifications, from the wooden frame to the finishing touches. Patriotic posteriors should perch upon the deconstructed version of the chair, which has an open back to reveal the craftsmanship and can be upholstered in your choice of flag. You’ll be in good company: Lucian Freud purchased one in 1994 and included it in several of his paintings – including After Cézanne, 1999-2000 – confirming the chair’s status as a British design icon. £2,830, howelondon.com

Churchill Spitfire Cufflinks
TMB Art metal x bespoke British pens
Handcrafted in England using metal recovered from a WWII Spitfire, cufflinks don’t come much more patriotic than these. Winston would be proud. £350, bespokebritishpens.co.uk

Mulsanne
Bentley
At this year’s Geneva Motor Show, Bentley released the brand new Mulsanne – its range-topping model. The previous iteration was already the height of refinement, so there’s no change there. Indeed, the astonishing 6.75-litre V8 remains untouched, too. But it’s the design which has enjoyed the upgrades: including a wider more prominent front grille, LED headlights and one-piece bumper, radiator shell and bonnet.

Mulsanne
Bentley
For those with long legs (and big egos), opt for the Extended Wheelbase edition for 250mm extra legroom in the rear. Or, if your prefer being behind the wheel, the Speed will offer you the most bang for your considerable buck. From £230,515, bentleymotors.com
