Jack Bunneys - Online Shop - The finest British Wedding Accessories for Men

I would like to introduce you to our new website:

JackBunneys.London 

JackBunneys.London 

This new website is now our Online Portal for purchasing those essential Jack Bunney accessories you have seen in our shop or on our main website.

For 2016 our exclusive accessories collection has received a complete over haul.  With 100% new and original ranges.  Each neckwear collection having it's own essential theme.

We have found over the last 12 months that weddings are less 'colour-scheme' driven and more 'theme' orientated.  This is why we have divided our collection into 'themes' rather than colours.  Each range has it's own unique feel and will compliment a certain style of wedding.

To help you navigate our new collections I would like to break them down for you here in this blog post.

Collection 4 - Prince of Wales 

Prince of Wales

The 'Prince of Wales' collection is inspired by a traditional or 'vintage' style of wedding .  This very classical English plaid check is described in the U.K. as a 'Prince of Wales' check.  This is actually a nickname for a style of check which is actually called a 'Glen Plaid'.   The more popular nickname of 'Prince of Wales' was popularised by the Duke of Windsor whilst the Prince of Wales, when he become synonymous with this style of check.   This style of check was also worn by Cary Grant in the film North by Northwest, this suit is considered one of the greatest and most iconic suits of the golden age of cinema, and a piece of Americana history.  

This cloth is woven in England to our specification and contains 100% pure luxury flannel super 110's.  This makes this cloth incredibly lightweight with a soft and supple handle.

Collection 5 - Puppy Tooth 

Puppy Tooth

The 'Puppy Tooth' collection was inspired by traditional 'Morning Attire'.   This traditional style of wedding attire is at times worn with houndstooth tooth check waistcoats or trousers.  We decided to look at this classical check pattern from a different angle and reduce the size of check.  This gives the pattern a more solid appearance and gives a cleaner less cluttered appearance.  This smaller houndstooth check is sometimes described as a dog tooth check, in our case our check is so small it is a 'Puppy Tooth' check.   This exclusive cloth is available in two colours, blue and black.  It is woven in England and is made of the finest pure English worsted wool.

Collection 6 - Silk 

Silk

The 'Silk' collection was inspired by traditional 'Wedding Attire'  Silk neckwear was always the staple for weddings in the past.  However with the trend for 'matching' colour schemes the use of lesser quality fabrics has been the standard for the last few years.  Here at Jack Bunneys we wanted to return to a point in time when men's neckwear was a luxurious accessory, an accessory which spoke volumes about style and demonstrated a level of presentation above everyday wear.   A well made luxurious silk tie can be both subtle and attract attention in equal measure.  Never ostentatious, always effortless. 

We approached a small bespoke silk mill in England to commission some beautiful fabrics to our exacting specifications.  Available only in classical wedding colours and designed to be worn with traditional morning wear, we have three colours of fine polka dots and four colours of wedding stripes.  And well as our trademark ivory twill wedding tie.  

The cloth is woven in the U.K. and all accessories are made in England.  All neckwear ordered includes a matching pocket square and is presented in the best quality tie box. 

• Available in a Men's Slim Tie 
• Available in a Men's Self Tie Bow Tie.  Slim bats wing shape.

• Available in boys elasticated tie
• Available in boys regular tie
• Available in boys elasticated bow tie
• Available as pocket square only
• Available as cloth only

Collection 7 - Tweeds 

Tweeds

The 'Tweeds' collection was inspired by our unique collaboration with Holland and Sherry, who are purveyors of the worlds finest cloth based in Savile Row, London.  In our quest to design a unique wedding suit, that we could use within our hire department, we approached the world renowned Savile Row cloth merchant to design unique tweed fabrics to compliment our country flannel wedding suits.   The tweeds designed are a perfect fit with our wedding suits and are both undeniably a country tweed and definitively suitable for weddings.   These tweeds are handwoven exclusively to Jack Bunneys and Holland & Sherry, in Scotland.  They are lightweight and fine luxurious pure wool tweeds and a re suitable for all year wear.  

These handwoven Scottish tweeds are availed in three distinctive tweed checks,  the classic tartan, the large geometric check and houndstooth.  

Our Tweed collection is our most popular collection and can be purchased in all forms of neckwear.

Collection 8 - Wool

Wool

The 'Wool' tie collection was inspired by those weddings which feature a softer more pastille shade or theme.   Woollen fabrics absorb light and can give a soft here in wedding photography, eliminating the shine or sheen of silk and ply fabrics.  Here at Jack Bunneys we have assembled a whole section of relevant wedding colours in pure wool ties.  These ties are of the finest quality pure wool fabric and available in a wide range of wedding relevant colours.  Including, dove grey, navy blue and dusky pink.  All of these plain wool wedding ties are available as bow ties also.

2015 update and Predictions for 2016 - Wedding Suit Style

Good morning all!  

It has been quite some time since I have wrote an actual blog post! But here goes, let's see if I can still do it.


2015 has been a very special year for us here at JB.  Once again our tiny little business has taken a step forward, it has been busier than ever and our influence spreads throughout the industry.

Once upon a time,  I would use this blog as a sounding board for new ideas.  I would sit here and try to organise my thoughts onto a screen.  This process of organisation would help mould our ideas into something useful.

But, now something different has happened.

  Our influence has become such that if I write down in this blog (or on social media) that I think a certain style will be popular in 2016, for mens wedding suits,  it not only probably will, it will almost certainly be emulated by other businesses, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all.

It with this in mind that I have spent most of the year in a blog and social media black hole.  Posting infrequently and only sharing the vaguest of ideas (even these are being emulated as soon as I post them).   However it is nearly time to share our new 2016 images!  So all will shortly be revealed anyway, so I may as well continue with my annual tradition of predicting 'wedding suit trends' for 2016.

Last year I predicted: 

1. Tweeds,  2. Lot's of blue,  3. slim fit,  4. Unique groom suits,  5. collar bars,  6. coloured shirts,  7. the return of the wedding waistcoat.    Heres the post: Click 

I am reasonably sure I got the vast majority right!   I can assure you that 2015 was certainly the year for a blue wedding suit!  It was also the year for slim fitting suits to reach the very pinnacle of its fashion arc.  I was 100% correct on the return of the wedding waistcoat however not so much on coloured shirts, ivory and white still being preferred for weddings.

I'm happy with 6 out of 7 though.

What about 2016?  

2016 is going to be a year of transition.  With most wedding suits adhering to the same trends as 2015 but towards the end of the year we will see a definite move away from them.   Saturation point has been reached for certain styles and trends.  This will lead to more wedding parties to look to distinguish their wedding suits from other weddings.  

1.  Textures and Layers -  2016 will be the year of texture.  Flannels teamed with tweeds.  Houndstooth, dog tooth, worsteds, cottons and silks.  These layers of texture will be worn together and teamed together to create striking ensembles.

2.  Ties - 2016 will be the year of the striking tie.  To finish off the layered and textured wedding suit a striking tie.  Bold stripe, polka dot or woollen ties and bow-ties will be an essential and important part of the finished outfit.

3.  Mix & Match - 2016 will see a departure from the traditional 3.piece suit.   In 2016 we will see jacket, trouser waistcoat separates created to coordinate but not match.  We will see houndstooth, dogtooth or check waistcoat and trousers worn with morning suits.  We will see jacket and waistcoat sets worn with contrast trousers and a variety of different coordinated wedding party members.

From Jack Bunneys 

4.  Formal -2016 will see a move back towards formal.  With tweeds and country fabrics still on the rise throughout 2016, this is a little bit of a tangent.  But alongside the trend for casual fabrics we will see a rise in the more formal wedding attire, which has fallen from vogue.  Morning suits will return in numbers, but worn in a very traditional sense, with double breasted plain waistcoats and a bold stripe or polk dot tie.  Evening suits will be more common, with black tie being a preferred option for many weddings in 2016.

This is all of the trends which I see emerging towards the second half of 2016.  2017 will be a huge year for change, with many styles and colours which have been popular for the last 5 years, finally falling away, to be replaced by new and interesting trends.

2014 has been an amazing year, we met literally 100's of incredible couples who were wed in 2014, they will forever remember 2014 (and us for that matter) and that is wonderful thing.

But it's New Years Eve, so its time to look forward!

In 2015 Jack Bunneys will continue to innovate.  We have always tried, and will continue to try, to push the envelope in what can be achieved in not only style and design but also the level of customer that can be achieved.

Our previous innovations have been incredibly successful and we have seen them ripple throughout the industry.

In 2015 we are hoping our latest ideas will be just as influential.
