Hot on the heels of our recent (and so successful!) Mulberry handbag challenge, we’ve received another fashion test, this one from an OolaMoola reader named Roberto.

Roberto has asked us to “find a top class and top condition man bag from Mulberry… and a classic Mac… or anything male-centric”.

The Mac -- perfect for Autumn

From fashion week to the high street, men’s fashion tends to take a backseat to women’s fashion. This challenge provides me with an opportunity to try to redress that balance, or at least offer a little hope to the menfolk out there who are still wearing last, last, last season’s tired threads.

Roberto, your wish is my command… although I’m going to expand on your challenge just a little bit, if that’s all right with you.

I’m going to make it my mission to track down some fine mannish threads that meet the following three criteria: top quality, wearable this season and beyond, and of course, bargainous in the extreme.

As to the specifics of my shopping list, I’m looking for a Mac or winter coat, a man bag, and a few wardrobe basics such as jumpers, jeans or even a suit.

So if you’re a man looking for a little wardrobe update that will neither break the bank nor crack your ‘me, I’m a hard man, me’ veneer, or if you’re a woman looking to subtly inject a little style into her man’s jeans-and-a-V-neck uniform, stay tuned…

Further suggestions, requests and comments are welcome!
