Here we go, merry folks, time to announce the lucky winners in my anniversary giveaway! After collating the entries from Instagram, Twitter and blog followers, I have utilised a random number generator to select the winners fair and square. The winners will be contacted directly. Urban Upcycle is giving away a beautiful tweed smartphone cover to one lucky reader. Will…

Given my new found fame as a man to watch on Instagram, I thought I’d shamelessly cash and publish a weekly “best of” my photos. Those that follow me on Instagram will find nothing new here, but in the spirit of upcycling and recyling, for the rest of the planets population (minus some 2000 of you), please pleasure your visual…

Details, details are important, and I meant to post more details of the anniversary giveaway yesterday. Sorry about my tardiness! Here is the update: To celebrate the one year anniversary of Well Dressed Dad, I have been fortunate enough to enlist the support of some of the friends I have made through a year of blogging. Each has donated something…

Yesterday brought a very nice surprise by way of Esquire UK. Quite out of the blue they included me in their list of the 20 most stylish men on Instagram! Looking at the other names on the list you can understand why this was so surprising: They are mainly professional players in the field of fashion, menswear and music. Editors, models,…

Regular readers will know that if there is a fabric of choice around these parts it’s tweed, of the Harris variety by choice (well, ok, we could be talking about denim as well, but not right now). I wrote a post about Harris Tweed almost a year ago, as a basic primer and intro to the wonderful woven wool. Since…

With the one year anniversary for my humble blog coming up soon, I’ll be doing the odd post summarising my experience of being a middle-aged menswear blogger. First of all I’d like to do a short post on how people actually find my blog, specifically what search terms they enter into the search engine which results in them finding their…

Occasionally I come across something that is just so cool that although it’s strictly speaking outside the scope of this blog, I have to mention it. This time it’s a boat. Am I a boat person? Hardly. I can appreciate the design and engineering of a fine boat, but I rarely have much interest in owning or otherwise interacting with…

Sometimes you come across a solution to a problem you never realised you had. I wrote about such a problem a few months back, when I reviewed undershirts, and I was then led to realise that the solution actually did prove a problem existed. In the matter I am looking at today, I am very much less convinced. Is it…

Ok, so this may be only tangentially interesting on a blog dealing with menswear, but as a fan of Nigel Cabourn I couldn’t help but be interested when the much hinted at collection for women is finally available. At least some of it is available. And very nice it is too. Full details on their website, but a few preview…
