Quinn + Tonik Vol. 100: Of Mice and Men and Mitochondria

Welcome to 2020. Happy New Year. And here's to health, happiness, and wealth to you all. May everything you have on your bucket list come to pass. Including attending DQ Burns Night XV, joining us for the Antigua Classic Yacht Race, and slipping into that full wardrobe of DQ bespoke [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 99: So Bring Out The Figgy Pudding

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding! Think someone special in your life would appreciate some DQ? Get them one of our gift cards and we'll add an extra 10% bonus on us, and send you a DQ keyring on us to boot! We're still running our bespoke suit raffle. The long [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 98: 'Tis The Season

The season is upon us. So as we all prepare to swing our pants through the end of 2019 and into 2020 here are some thoughts on how to do that in style. As always, start at the bottom and...Bottoms Up! Our raison d'etre is making beautiful, impeccably sourced [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 97: A Winner Never Quits

First, if you are looking for something brutalist in London, and are a fan of Ian Fleming, you can now snap up one of the original Goldfinger's apartments in Poplar. Next...on to the need for speed. And DQ's favourite old Rowing coach phrase, "a winner never quits, 'cause a quitter never wins." [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 96: Time Travel

We like to think that the right outfit transports you to another place. And we've noted before that it does actually make a difference. But even if you have your Edwardian cuffs cut right like our friend in the photo, and your waistcoat with lapel in place, you may need more giddy-up than just a fine wool mohair blend [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 95: Take A Step Back

“the direct route isn’t always the best one” We've had a lot of time to think about this as we've just driven across Africa in a car that averages 50mph on a good day. 14 hours of trundling along through the middle of nowhere gives time for reflection. Time to think about how lucky [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 94: Dressed To Thrill

We're still in discussions with Aston Martin to create a limited edition DQ-S car. If you want to be #001 we are looking for you. Lunch with DQ and discuss the ins and outs of aesthetics, power curves, and sound systems. Meanwhile, for those of you not looking to add a James Bond car [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 93: Labors of Love Report

HAPPY LABOR DAY. Apparently we're not supposed to wear white hereafter. But no one seems to be able to explain why. When asked by our buddy Danny Agnew at Inside Hook, "What do you think of the 'no white pants after Labor Day' rule? For it? Against it? [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 92: Live Like A Maharajah

DQ just got back from a spicy 96 hours in Jaipur. A city of color, spice, and beauty. Hidden gardens, Maharajahs with bespoke Rolls Royces, and gemstones galore. But we're still focused on our mission to Africa to save the elephants, and teach kids about conservation. [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 91: Dangerous Men Report

We're heading on our annual pilgrimage to Zambia to raise money to support elephants and conservation at the Elephant Charge on September 28, 2019. Team Quinn + Tonik has entered our rally prepped Landrover 4x4 as Team 15. If you have no idea what we are on about [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 90: An Eye For An Eye Makes The Whole World Blind

It is tough to know where to start with Q+T this week. Yet again we have to scratch our heads as each of the kids in the schoolyard engage in petty internecine warfare, with the occasional suicide bomber [...]

Quinn + Toink Vol. 89: Vive La Revolution!

Sunday was Bastille Day, celebrating the storming of the prison which kicked off the French Revolution complete with the Terror, and the beheading of swathes of French aristocrats by Mme. La Guillotine. As you already know DQ loves France. In particular the Côte d'Azur [...]
