We are reaching the summit on Black Friday hill. Deals aplenty are to be had on luxury gifts, and here for you are the ones I'm looking to exploit on the FARFETCH site this Friday. Note I can’t guarantee that individual items will be included in the Black Friday promotion, just hoping.

Alexander McQueen Oversized Sneakers

You can always tell something about a man on how clean he keeps the mid-sole of his white trainers. It's also one of the first thing that a woman judges a man’s appearance on. These Alexander McQueen's sneakers look super comfy with the bouncy rubber soles. TIP - use Cif and an old toothbrush to clean white trainers.

Balmain cable-knit jumper

This camel brown knit looks terrific in so many ways. I've also been after an iconic alternative of the Jason Bourne fisherman’s sweater from The Bourne Identity. This has many differences to that but the colour and thickness looks remarkably similar.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 3rd Generation Wireless

If you're into fitness and music, then the world of wireless headphones can be a tricky universe to navigate through. I've been caught out by so many cheap wrap around headphones. Especially now with the extra toil of wearing masks. Ear lobes weren't cut out for this kind of overuse. 

I'm desperately looking for some in ear phones that are durable and have noise cancelling features for podcast listening on busy commutes.

Alessi Espresso Coffee Maker

But Carl, you already have a juggernaut of a coffee making machine? That's right readers. But I'm also a man with outside living quarters and a spare room looking to let out once the world goes back to spinning. This will be an ideal addition to my spare room and a key persuader for potential lodgers.

Oliver Peoples' Gregory' Glasses

You know you've arrived in life when you get a glasses draw. And a cufflink draw. And a card wallet draw, you get the idea. These Multicoloured acetate 'Gregory' glasses from Oliver Peoples have a definite 'Goldblum' appeal to them.

Timberland 1973 Newman Boots

These Timberland boots are actually very evenly priced, but a Black Friday deal could certainly tip me over the edge. A sure step is much needed round the soggy-slippery parks of Clapham Common right now.

Tagliatore Single-Breasted Herringbone Coat

I've long been after a belted Norfolk jacket, but with clean lines and no box pleats. Which is kind of what this is. It's perfect for the country to city man, and vica-versa. Not out of place in either setting.

Doucal's Perforated Lace-up Shoes

This 100% leather lace up shoe oozes class. I have a penchant for a wing tip brogue. The brogue detailing gives it a unique quality and I'm needing a pair of shoes I can wear to both informal and formal occasions.

Eyewear by David Beckham

The blue tinted lenses on this give it a very McQueen Crown Affair sixties vibe. Only without the prices of Persol. I'm hoping these hit the sales this Friday.

Burberry Signature Check Loop-back Trench Coat

I've based many of my own designs on the Burberry archive. The brand has never gone out of style for me. Fashion is temporary, style is permanent as they say and this Trench coat will always be a staple and a luxury gift for any lucky man.
