Jules is feeling dandy right now, and he would like to shake up his wardrobe. So for once, it is not he who follows me for hours on my shopping sprees, but I who insist to accompany him. I have therefore recommended a department store for those with traditional tastes: Old England.

This emblem has been a real institution, since 1867 and embodies true English class and style. There are the classic men’s fashions and accessories, but also provides Italian brands such as Tod’s and Acqua di Parma. The store is huge, spread over three floors (Jules nearly died and went to heaven) and the storefront itself is impressive. But we are not overwhelmed; we head straight up to the menswear department. We pick out shirts, trousers, perfume, shoes … and why not a hat? In any case, we will not forget to pass by the array of coats, to find a duffle coat worthy of the name (for next winter obviously). Little tip: hunt down your most wanted and wait for the sales starting the 22nd of June.

Before leaving, we will also turn to the radiant “beauty” section: vintage razors, old combs, colognes … Very vintage means very Jules! Slightly cheaper, but Jules knows that quality has a price …
