Hip, hot and made from Harris TweedWatch the second instalment in the trilogy of short videos narrated by the Take That singer, introducing and explaining the background to his collection, Farrell. The label is named after Williams's grandfather Jack Farrell, aka Jack the Giant Killer, who was a notable dresser in his hometown of Stoke-on-Trent, and who lived a hard life but lived it well. The Farrell range was created to honour Jack's legacy and the brand motto is 'Wear it in, wear it out'.

Expect Brit classics such as the Harry Palmer-style Mac, ¾-length coat and cable-knit cardigan. Accessories include a Homberg, flat cap, cricket cap as well as polka dot silk scarves.

'It's ceremony, it's tradition, it's almost like magic,' Williams narrates in the video.

'There's that sort of knowing that you have about yourself just before you leave the house and you look in the mirror and you go, 'Yeah, I've got it completely right'. You've got your shirt in just a particular way. You're wearing your jacket in a particular manner. You've just taken an age on preparing your hair even though you don't want anybody to think you've taken an age with preparing your hair. It's your own unique style, you know, that only suits you. That's why you're putting all the effort in. It's saying something without being noticed. That's all in the aura that you put out.'

The autumn/winter 2011 the Farrell collection will be sold exclusively through House of Fraser and online at very.co.uk. Prices from £35 for a light weight T-shirt and go up to £350 for the ¾-length coat.
