5th March 2013 - Dapper Dudes

Paul Stewart is suited and booted as usual for his regular 'men only' piece for VE's Mantiques section. And this time around he's demob-happy!

How will you be celebrating VE Day? No, not the day when you rush to seek out Britain's favourite magazine. May 8th is the 68th anniversary of Victory in Europe day. When, after six long years, the people of Britain no longer had to fear invasion or bombing - no wonder there was jitterbugging in the streets!

Why this isn't recognised as a public holiday is still hotly debated up and down the teashops of England. So, with spring approaching and the tidal wave of era-themed events start to appear in our inboxes and in lifestyle magazines with a penchant for the past, I think it's time to take a closer look at the 1940s, how a chap then made himself look sharp out of uniform - and how you can too.

Covering all aspects of being a dapper gent, it's a great article.  Next issue is out just before Easter.
