Interesting fact: Three Over One stands for the number of weft yarns the warp yarn passes over and under during the weaving process to construct a denim fabric...

We have a limited array of Three Over One styles instore, with fabrics perfectly suited to the colder months... Here is the label featured in 'Mens Style' a couple of months back:

We found a very interesting article via the Times on the rarity of good manners, dignity and charm in the 21st century male. So we thought we'd chip in and spread their ten tips on how to be a modern gentleman:

How to be a (modern) gentleman

1. Some things don’t change: say please and thank you and ask questions about other people rather than talk about yourself.

2. Be punctual. Tardiness does not make you look important. It turns you into an arrogant incompetent who thinks that his time is more important than other people’s.

3. The modern gentleman cares about the planet. Be environmentally aware (but not obnoxious about it).

4. Open doors for people and stand up when they enter a room, but do this for men as well as women. The modern gentleman doesn’t treat women like porcelain.

5. Be modest. Bragging is distinctly ungentlemanly.

6. Be a good father. Nothing is less charming than a man who leaves childcare to women.

7. Be honest about wherever you have come from in life. Pretension is spineless.

8. Flirt – with everyone. Good flirting is a form of politeness. Pay compliments and put your companion at ease.

9. Do not phone/text/check your BlackBerry incessantly.

10. Dress tidily. Whatever style you are going for, scruffiness just isn’t in.

So dress accordingly, and command the respect you desire
