OK, so go with me on this - as you know I'm having a beard moment - see
Ben and George at the Baftas and
Stella's other half at the Palace - but this post is taking beards to a whole new level, and whilst it may be a bit extreme for some, I have to say it's working for me.

Oddly enough we're back to my current fave shop
John Lewis who have gone out on something of a limb with their latest ad campaign for
John Lewis and Co Menswear featuring (I think) the rather gorgeous and very bearded Johnny Harrington.

The campaign aims to appeal to the everyday guy who isn't that into fashion but has a sense of his own style and wants clothes that will work hard for him and last (he's not much of a shopper then!) The collection is inspired by British Heritage and the tradition of exploration - think Mallory, Burton, Lawrence of Arabia and Scott of the Antarctic.

Apparently opinion in the UK has been completely split by this campaign, but I'm totally for this deconstructed look - as well as the beard I'm loving the hair pulled back in a bun and all his arm candy.
Can't resist a couple of other images. Not too shabby for a former carpenter from Milton Keynes.

What do you think, does the 'hobo chic' look do it for you?

All I can think of saying is "bonjour monsieur". And what is more, on the second to last photo, the man leggings also do it for me.
I am sorry but this is just too much beard for me! Are you persuading English Gent to grow one?1
I think a full beard needs a full head of hair..... so English Gent should stay as he is!!
Man leggings = meggings??
