Sir Philip... You spoil me

Sir Philip + team are back to satisfy your appetite with its second helping of its perfectly risen TOPMANLTD collection of the year. The label promises no Hydrogenated fats, artificial flavours, colours nor E numbers in this Spring banquet. The ingredients - 50% Scandinavian style, 30% Simple lines, 10% prints and 10% classic cuts. Taste Test - The collection is far simpler then its predecessors, the design team have shied away from a Heston Blumenthal foamed concoction of lettering and bold flavoured prints. In its place, are taste buds are tantalised by sharp specs of vivid yellows, corals, paprika and emerald greens which perfectly compliment the earth undertones. The Verdict...... I need time to digest (I had seconds of the 50's bowling shirt collar). Enough with the Loyd Grossman talk, on a serious note, their are many stand out pieces that I shall be acquiring. However, I just feel that their is too much of one thing and not enough of the other (sorry Philip... were still best mates right??). Id like to see them introduce a pair of shoes or three into the collection and maybe focus less on outerwear... What do you guys think, yey or ney?
White Double breasted Jacket - £90
Stone Multi Seam Trouser - £40
Green Double breasted Jacket - £90
Camel Zip Through Bomber - £36
White Roll-Up Shirt - £28

White Geo Panel T - £18
White Resort roll-up Shirt - £28

I present the icing on the cake...

My overall reaction is MEH. I know that wasn't an option but I have just created a third choice. All of these pieces look high quality and clean but there's nothing that keeps my attention too long. Just my humble opinion.

great collection!

i've been to berlin just 2 times but i have to say that this city is gorgeous. you should go to the east-side-gallery. its the last and longest part of the berlin wall and its full of art.
and you should go to the Fernsehturm, Brandenburger Tor, Reichstag, ... enjoy!

The brown leather briefcase is just what I am looking for. Clean and simple. The pleat belt is also nice. But as you said, I'd like to see some shoes.
Great post!
All the best from Berlin

The leather briefcase is just what I am looking for. I have one but its a little too small to fit bigger stuff in. I like the belt too. I will see what else they have new at TOPMAN.
Great post!
