Evan Peters/Quicksilver wears Horiyoshi III in X-Men: Days of Future Past

I tend to spend every August working in London while most of Europe is away on holiday, which can sometimes be discouraging. On the upside, work really slows down so I am able to take it easy and catch up on quite a few of the movies I missed through the year. And that's exactly what I was doing last night – I watched X-Men: Days of Future Past.
I'm a big fan of X-Men in general but particularly of what they've been doing with the new movies, especially in terms of casting. One of their newest additions, Evan Peters as Quicksilver, makes his first, if quick, appearance in this latest instalments. And he does so wearing one of my favourite ever pieces – a Horiyoshi III bomber jacket, which we've seen before on Haider Ackermann and, hell, even on myself! Oddly enough, the scene takes place in 1976 but I'd be a d*ck to complain about anachronisms when I enjoyed this geeky detail so much I decided to post about it...

This model in particular is no longer available but you might be able to get your hands on the similar limited-editions for sale at the Horiyoshi III website.

Haider Ackermann wears Horiyoshi III to his Menswear Show in Paris

This week Haider Ackermann finally made me a happy man again presenting his return to menswear during Paris Fashion Week. The super stylish designer took his vow a the end of the show wearing a fashion-forward look with my favourite Horiyoshi III bomber jacket in off-white.
If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram you'll be familiar with the designer as I've been raving about it for months. I also recently attended the launch party of the collaboration between the brand and Timothy Everest featuring sharp tailoring and presenting a short film with Tilda Swinton.

You can have a closer look at the brand's offering on their site, where you can also shop the collection. Their amazing silk scarves are also available online at Mr Porter.
