Ding, ding, round two. Those lovely, lovely people at Soho House have asked us back for another evening of their member’s treating us with their patronage – and us returning the favour with some price relief. Us, Trousers London and Linda Farrow.
Tuesday 5th July, from 6pm onwards, downstairs at High Road House, 162-170 Chiswick High Road, London W4 1PR. Any questions please call +44 20 8742 1717. Invitations are open to House members, otherwise just contact us, ask, and you shall be given.
Gentlemen, Ladies,
You are cordially invited to join us this Saturday 21st May at Shoreditch House, East London, along with some unnecessarily good clobber from Social Suicide, Trousers London and Linda Farrow. Jeans & jackets, T’s & V’s, shirts, socks, shades and strides; and some summer specials only available through Shoreditch House.
The event is, I’m afraid, severely limited in capacity and thus only through confirmed RSVP or Soho House Group members. Please E-mail commit@socialsuicide.co.uk for details.
Mine’s an espresso martini.

Hen’s teeth and rocking horse turds, it looks as though we’ll be having a session at Shoreditch House mid-May-ish. The Holidaze collection that was previewed last season is now on general release so we’ll have a full suite of styles and sizes. Jackets, trousers, ties, T’s and maybe a few bits from Trousers London and Linda Farrow.
It’s all TBC at present, so keep your eyeballs peeled for updates. Also, I’ll get round to a newsletter soon – especially since Adam Ant’s reappeared and I owe you all a story from last May!
Warm your cockles this Sunday with the new Social Suicide Sock, some winter-weight suits and Ketel One vodka at Callooh Callay, Rivington St. between 6 & 10pm… Socks? Vodka? Ear, whachauptonow?
Well, it seems Ketel One have hooked up with the nation’s best cocktail bars to “celebrate a rare breed of modern gentlemen who are adapting traditional craft making skills for the 21st century”. That’s us. Modern gentlemen. I’d better shave.
And the SS Sock. The ménage à trois of socks – a pair of three; left, right, middle; two to use, one to loose; one, two, free! Birthday, Christmas AND Easter all at once. However you sell it, three’s got to be warmer than two and besides, if you buy two “pairs” you get three. See?
So, come and join us for some smashing vodka cocktails, clean up on your Christmas shopping with our socks, indulge yourself with a new suit and then head on over to see the other ”talented men”: Nik Roope’s doing stuff with old vases and lampshades and his new Plumen light bulbs at The Old Shoreditch Station; Addie Chinn and Paul Tvaroh are mixing type-writing and molecular cocktails at Lounge Bohemia; and Blue Logan is creating some life sized murals in LoungeLover.
Smashing!
How was your two minute silence?
Every year I get all philosophical and melancholy on the 11th Nov. This year especially so as we’ve just returned form a mini world tour, India and South Africa especially. What an incredibly fortunate life we lead and yet it is so easy to forget to remember. Given to us by the labours and sacrifices of our forefathers.
And why’s it so damn difficult to find a poppy?
I’m afraid to announce that I will be growing a moustache for the month of November – bad news for me, bad news for my wife, bad news for my friends, in fact bad news for almost anyone in visual proximity. But most of all, bad news for prostrate cancer.
The Movember Foundation, raises more money for prostate cancer than any other source outside of government simply by encouraging men to grow a sponsored moustache for the month of November. I’m not sure exactly how much (amusingly, their site seems to be blocked by the Indian service provider I’m using here in Goa, so it’s difficult to get the exact stats) but they raise a lot.
And, to help things along, not only are we donating our top lips but, Si and I have coughed up a suite of spotless white and gold Kalashnikov jackets for their launch parties. Although it seems that Hywel hasn’t quite got the hang of pressing his – see below.
Finally, if you could dig to the bottom of your pockets, ourselves and men’s internal bits worldwide would be very grateful if you could help raise some money by following this link

Partnering with Trousers London we’ve created a Pop up for Fashion Week and The London Design Festival. The premise is that the two weeks – fashion and design- cohabit on the London events calendar but seemingly ne’er the twain shall meet. Yet, in Social Suicide and Trousers London we have two fashion brands created by product designers and architects. A semi-ironic crossover and no better excuse for a party…!
This Friday, 17th Sept, 19:00 onwards. At Fashion Week Fashion Strong, 53 Monmouth Street, London, WC2H 9DG. For guest list mail commit@socialsuicide.co.uk
We may have Pimms sponsorship, we may have Jeff Leach of Men in Masks, we may have Acid Malc of Daisy Daisy, we may have a riot. It’s all in the air.
Would the charming Shyla Dopp please come and collect her geriatric photos as I’m beginning to worry for their welfare. And would the ‘orrible Jo Hunter of Vexed come and collect his Diana/Gatso Frankenstein creation as I’m concerned for my welfare.
And if that’s all a bit cryptic, here’s a gorgeous shot of Charlie, the Social Suicide van, taken by Greg Ash of Lomography.
