Here Comes Summer…

Just back from a buying trip to Milan, Scruples 1984 store manager Tom Orrell and founder Stephen Collins are delighted to introduce the new spring and summer collections to clients, as Tom explains: “We began taking delivery earlier this year and we’re very excited about the whole collection.

“Brown and orange are the on-trend colours of the season, in varying shades – from beige and cream to a soft peachy-orange.”

Tom and Stephen are thrilled to be re-introducing the Italian label Pal Zileri to Scruples’ spring/summer collection. This is an informal, yet ultimately elegant collection of daywear and features two, beautifully crafted, signature bomber jackets in blue leather and orange suede.

Another name being introduced this season at Scruples 1984 is leading Italian denim brand Richard J Brown, renowned for their hand-stitched details and a touch of stretch to ensure the perfect fit.

“We are one of the few stockists of Richard J Brown and they have been a best-seller for us. The latest collection sees a chino style with some pastel colours being introduced. They really are a premium product,” says Tom.

Italian denim super-brand Tramarossa also features at Scruples – over the seasons this has become a long-standing favourite. Renowned for their bespoke detailing, this season’s collection features Italian super-car badging: “We have limited pieces from Tramarossa but they are really exciting!”

British brand Belstaff never disappoints and this season is no exception. With a collection featuring some fabulous spring and summer shades, the stand-out piece of the season is set to be the Castmaster Map parka: “We have a great Belstaff collection,” says Tom. “But the stand-out piece is definitely the map parka.”

Inspired by the open road, the parka in Shell and Dark Sandstone, is designed with utilitarian features and printed with Belstaff’s historical map motif, which depicts the area surrounding Stoke-on-Trent where the iconic label was founded back in 1924.

Fast forward 100 years and Belstaff has adapted to the 21st century eco-friendly ethos and is committed to protecting the environment, sourcing 80 per cent of its cotton in a more sustainable way by 2025.

“We love what Belstaff are doing and have sourced a few limited pieces as opposed to more mainstream,” adds Tom.

Another great label that Scruples’ clients love is Paul and Shark, which has recently undergone a re-brand: “Paul and Shark are well known for their clean lines and the minimalist re-brand perfectly reflects this.”

Renowned for exquisite tailoring, Canali has been making suits for decades, but this season at Scruples 1984 it is the jackets that are taking centre stage. They can be dressed up or dressed down, but it’s the cut and colours that make these pieces ultimately wearable. Expect to find jackets in raspberry, yellow, blue and a stunning purple check.

Scruples also have an exclusive collaboration with Loro Piana, which makes some of the world’s most luxurious fabrics. The brand has become a symbol of Italian excellence and the team at Scruples are delighted to be working alongside them.

With new seasonal shirts from Eton, sunglasses by Tom Ford and a collection of colourful ties and pocket handkerchiefs to accessorise, the summer is definitely looking bright at Scruples.
