EXACTING STANDARDS: SMART TURNOUT WATCHSTRAPS
New to Blackbird for Fall '09, England's Smart Turnout was founded in 1992 by Philip Turner, a member of the Royal Army's Scots Guards regiment. Mr. Turner, inspired by the positive response he received from colleagues impressed by a sweater he had had made bearing the colors of his regiment, created a range of products for a small number of army regiments. Since its humble beginnings, Smart Turnout has grown considerably. Now offering products specific to over 70 regiments, more than 30 schools and an increasing number of UK and US universities, their current collection ranges from unique, vibrant accessories to classic, understated menswear, all produced to the highest military standards.
Blackbird's first delivery just arrived in the form of over a half dozen brilliantly-colored watch bands. Individually stitched to military specifications, these well-made straps provide a simple way to subtly liven up your look. Have a look at a few of our favorites below.
