Suit: Rose&Born Shirt: Herrainpukimo (mtm) Tie & PS: Berg&Berg

As it’s already October one can say that the fall is eventually now here and winter is starting to be pretty near. Days are getting shorter and the amount of light decreases significantly. On the other hand it means that one can get the overcoats and more heavier suits & sport coats from the closet and start to play with layers again.  Starting the week with a few things and pics that I’m personally inspired by and enthusiastic at the moment. When it comes to ties one can pretty easily go with basic rotation of silk ties (including knit ties, grenadines and shantung for example) through the year. But having some seasonal additions is a good and easy way to make...

Started the week in the office with something between formal and casual, wearing my new made-to-measure suit from Sauma. Very satisfied with the result - a two-piece suit made of middle grey (semi) lightweight wool fabric with light blue and brown overcheck. Jacket of the suit is a single-breasted, features 2 patch pockets, 3-roll-2 buttoning and a little roped shoulders. More detailed review (and video) regarding the suit coming up. Wanted to keep the ensemble quite light colored, so picked a white merino wool turtle neck and pocket square (The unicorn square by Drake’s is still my favorite one) & shoes in shades of brown. Based on pictures it seems that my shoes could also use some welt edge dressing for...

After yesterday’s house warming party today and this evening seems like a good day for weekly Q&A round-up. Q: Hi Atte! What’s your take on Suitsupply suits (Sienna, La Spalla)? A: To put it shortly, SuitSupply offers suits and jackets that are mostly classically proportioned and cut and decently constructed and personally I  would recommend their garments to anyone. I think that most of all SuitSupply is known as a brand that offers good quality for one's money especially in terms of lower price range (300-400 euros) which covers their basic “blue” and “purple” lines. Whereas in that price tier most of brands are selling either fused suits or ones made with either “fashionable” cuts featuring very skinny lapels and too short jackets or...

DLA x Berg&Berg - Tie your tie sneak peek I wrote earlier shortly about the new f/w collection by Berg&Berg (check the post here). Recently Mathis and Karin were kind to send a few items from the collection for a review. The ties I selected from the collection, including some cashmere, wool and grenadine & shantung silk are shown in the pics above. As you can see, I ended up with pretty basic and toned down choices - both in terms of patterns and colors. Will soon come up with few points how to combine different colors and materials and “how to tie your tie”. All of these have already seen more or less use, for more detailed pics check...
