Peter Christian - Summer 2014 Catalogue

SUMMER 2014

BRING ME

SUNSHINE I do hope that this despatch lands on your doormat on a balmy sunny morning; that your spirits are lifted and “Just like everybody sings when the sunshine makes them high”* you are filled with the vim and vigour that only a splendid summer’s day can bring. If not “cheer up misery guts”, life is too short to dwell on the grey stuff, it is time to put some sunshine and colour into your life.

The great British bloke has inherited a wonderful heritage of clothing. We have a “correct” outfit for every variant of our weather but our inherent rebelliousness means we often reject the rules and go our own way, not always a good idea - think sunny day, beige shorts, black shoes and ankle socks, ugh! But despair not chaps, you have the answer in your hands.

Lord T’s tip of the day: If one is holidaying in Morecombe, be Wise and wear a hat - boom boom!

NEW Snap Brim Panama. Page 28

I have chosen the ultimate summer selection of kit (and the caboodle) for the well-dressed bloke. You can cherry pick at will as my Summer range has been selected to mix & match perfectly and look effortlessly cool. Whilst I retain a healthy respect for the past, nothing is sealed in aspic here, many modern ideas and contemporary takes on tradition have been included to ensure that the Peter Christian Man is the most tastefully attired chap on the summer scene.

Sartorially Yours,

THE

LINEN SUIT

Snap Brim Panama Hat Page 28

Looking cool and feeling cool don’t always go hand in hand but you can be assured of both in our elegantly relaxed Linen Suit.

In the past suits were almost always tailor made and doctors and surgeons would need to roll up their sleeves when poking around our body parts, leading to the working cuff sometimes being referred to as a “surgeon’s cuff ”.

Nowadays surgeons wear ghastly green “scrubs” and the working cuff is largely redundant but you can impress your missus when you roll up your sleeves to tackle the washing up!

THE

CHINO SUIT It may appear the same but our new Chino Suit has a slimming two button fastening and ‘Tailor’s Stitching’ on lapel and pockets.

Before you gasp at these swingeing reforms and drop your monocle in the marmalade, be assured that above all else, quality, value and fit remains the same.

Chino Suit

£125 There’s a definite touch of the tropical about our Chino Suit.

Tailored in 100% cotton - still the best for natural cool comfort - it’s finished with a two-button fastening and nifty stitched detail on the lapels and pockets.

Semi-formal or smart-casual, wear it with aplomb in the midday sun. Beware the mad dogs, though.

FEELING

BLEU Classic Denim Jeans

£35 or 2 for £60 Don’t you love it when the experts are wrong? Like the fashion pundit who reckoned denim jeans were a flash-inthe-pan. Nearly 60 years later that flash shows no signs of dimming. Thanks in part to the classic cut jeans pictured here. Fashioned from hardwearing 12oz denim, they’re comfortable, stylish and designed to stay that way. As old Levi Strauss (might have) said ‘What is there not to like?’

The word denim derives from Nimes in France (Bleu de Nimes), where the fabric was originally woven. The word Jean comes from the french word for Genoa, Italy (Génes) where the type of trouser was first made.
