Last month we flew to the Audi Sport factory in Neckarsulm, Germany. Not only did we get a stage by stage tour of the factory and how the cars come into production but we were given a first hand look at the new Audi R8. Audi have followed the mantra, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Accordingly, this is more a facelift for the R8 than a completely new car. Performance-wise , it maintains its naturally aspirated 5.2 litre V10 engine, with the addition of more power for all models and more pace, with each reaching 0-61mph, quicker than predecessors. Aesthetically, the 2019 R8 remai ..read more

Street Gentry X Hardy Amies | Savile Row Meets Soho

s we transition from winter to spring there are a few better jackets to have in your arsenal than the macintosh. Durable and stylish, the mac tends to be more lightweight than your winter coat and therefore more accommodating to the sudden changes in the British weather. Stroll around the city during a weekday and you’ll be sure to see macs in full force. In fact, they work so well over a suit that many Gents will only consider wearing a mac with smart clothing. So if looking for a more casual mac – Savile Row would be the last place to look right? Well think again and think Hardy Amies ..read more

Fresh from trips to Italy and Berlin we decided it was high time for an adventure closer to home – The London Overground. Often overlooked as the “Orange line” connecting the four corners of London together – we decided to embark on our own Overground Challenge to find the best spots to get a flavour of London’s diverse culture. Any travel requires comfortable footwear and as you’d expect, we demand that it is also stylish. Naturally we turned to Converse and the Chuck II in Mono white and black and white combination. The Chuck II is an update on the iconic classic silhouette, these in our ..read more

Break out the sharply tailored suit, bang on some jazz and get those wing mirrors polished as the latest instalment in our Style Sheet series focuses on one of the most iconic and enduring British subcultures – Mod. In contrast to their long haired hippy and rocker contemporaries mods were neat, clean and impeccably well turned out ensuring the longevity of the look through the decades – donning a typical mod outfit is not something you’ll back on with regret and shame in ten years time! It’s a style that looks great no matter what your age. A defining aspect of being mod was caring for ..read more

On what was possibly the wettest day I have ever experienced in London, the Street Gentry team set out with one simple ‘new original’ mission; our Italian Job – to find the very best coffee in central London. We teamed up with MINI to make this new original, inspired by the Italian Job’s famous scenes weaving through the streets of Turin, so we thought we’d try the same on an early Saturday morning from Notting Hill to Soho. Our mission at the end was black gold not bullion, as we set off to find the very best coffee London had to offer. We kept it simple, only ever ordering one ..read more

For our latest Style Sheet we’re looking back to the golden age of jazz and bebop for a closer look at the enduring style of the era’s icons.

Immaculately dressed jazz aficionados Miles Davis, Chet Baker and Duke Ellington are just a few of the Kings of the Cool from an era that is still showing us how it’s done today.

Style Sheet – Her

Having looked back at the French New Wave in a previous Style Sheet we’re taking our cinematic style inspiration from the future this time around with a look at Spike Jonze’s recent film ‘Her’. High waisted trousers, textured materials and simple shirts with buttoned up collars are key in producing the unique pared back visual style of the movie. Instead of hovercraft and shiny skintight suits, ‘Her’s’ vision of the future has a minimalist, retro and entirely plausible tone alluding to the cyclical nature of fashion. The retro influence also extends beyond the sartorial elements with mid-centu ..read more
