A month ago in Florence many guys were disappointed as they heard the fact that Eidos Napoli -the so-called little brother of famous ISAIA - would not be present at Pitti Uomo.Instead Eidos decided to launch their collection for upcoming fall and winter season in NewYork during the fashion week. Eidos fall and winter ´15 - CorrespondentThe collection is called “The Correspondent”.

Getting the week started with some shots from Saturday. Had a great day going through some second-hand shops in Helsinki and after that enjoying some burgers at the best burger joint in town at the Market Hall. As the day was luckily rainless, though a bit windy I ended up wearing my woolen overcoat in addition to sweater and a sport coat - all featuring different shades of blue.

This week got a great start as I on Monday received a package from Australia including a pair of suede loafers and a new pocket square I ordered earlier. Both by my friend and highly talented Mr. Christian Kimber, one of the “new hopes” of #menswear. Keep an eye on this guy.
The suit is wool / silk / mohair mixture by SuitSupply in a bit more bright blue, espeacially suitable for summer (and actually acquired to be worn at couple of upcoming summer weddings), white x light blue striped lightweight cotton twill shirt by Eton and brown linen tie by Berg&Berg to balance the ensemble.
