“The classic guy is missing,” declares Tony Everett (left) otherwise known as The Bespoke Bloke. An urban style guru and author of the blog Sir Cox Smith, he says “I believe there are certain things a man should know about and things he should know how to do. You can custom-build your character. I want to offer a little spin."
Everett’s blog came about when a friend declared him “a bespoke bloke” because of his "manly," mannerly ways. Sir Cox Smith, which covers everything from design to clothing, watches, tech and nightlife, reflects Everett's personal definition of the bestpoke bloke. "There are two types of gentlemen—the British Gentleman and the Latin Gentleman,” Everett says. The former is uptight, and the latter, which Everett favors, is smooth. According to Everett, this "Latin operator," is a gentleman with a capital G. Recent posts on his image-filled, urban-centric blog have covered a multitude of topics of interest to this Gentleman and his ilk: an exclusive cider bottle at Bungalow 8 in London; Burberry's exclusive trench coat for French retailer Colette; a pair of limited edition Lacoste sunglasses; and a sleek, industrial design project in Traviso, Italy, among them.
A music stylist by day, Everett also “eats” music, a passion that works its way into his blog. A classics-loving mix-master who also appreciates the remix, “I listen to everything," he explains. "In my teenage years I was exposed to many genres and styles of music, which eventually led to my very broad sense of style.”
As to the nature of his tastes, “Some guys would never admit to the things they like,” Everett says. “But I think it’s important for a man to be well-rounded.”
