Spanish Meermin has recently launched a new website including clearer, simple and fresh look & lay-out. But what’s most interesting part of the “reformation” is their newly launched mto-program. New Meermin MTO-group program According to the site Made To Order Group is a new & very dynamic way to offer clients a wider range of possibilities. The system is based on crowd sourcing method, where it is left for the clients to decide what items move on to production and what doesn’t.

Next in line for the short reviews from Pitti Uomo is Drake’s London. Mostly known for their ties, Drake’s is not just the largest producer of premium neckties in Britain (producing around 100,000 ties per year, which includes ties made both under their own name and as private label for other well known brands) but also I dare to say, one of the best and most innovative brands in the accessory business. As being one of my personal favorite my expectations for Drake’s collections are always pretty high. Still - season after season these guys seem to exceed those expectations.

While Pitti Uomo in Florence I had a chance to do three quick shoots featuring days 1, 2 and 3 with Neil Watson of A&H Magazine. Credit and hat tip to Neil, a dear friend and one of the most talented guys there is for perfectly capturing the details. Here is the set from day 2. Shades of brown and blue - Lardini blazer with Berwich trousers Brown and blue and their different tones are maybe the most easy colors to combine together. The light and dark brown shades of brown in shoes and tie are here brought together with different tones of blue featured in the shirt, jacket, bag, pocket square and again in the shoes as contrasting color....
Starting my vacation on Friday, three weeks out of office - feeling pretty good already. Moving into a new apartment, after that long weekend in Barcelona and few days in Stockholm checking out the upcoming Fashion week. In addition to that some new stuff regarding the blog and tyylit.fi - more than enough to be inspired by.
To put it shortly, this is what this vacation will be all about…
Casual wear, drinks and good food…
Building up new home - simple and clean it will be…
Traveling - next up Barcelona and Stockholm…

One more time - Monochromatic blues in Florence
Another set of pictures from Pitti Uomo (from day 1) courtesy of TSBmen and A&H Magazine, shot by Neil Watson.
I’ve never been much of fan of all monochromatic looks but decided to go full blue-on-blue-on-blue for the first day of the fair. Double-breasted suit from SuitSupply, denim shirt (mtm) by Schoffa and mto-tie by Arcuri Cravatte via Linkson Jack. The only things bringing some contrasting colors are the pocket square from Christian Kimber and Portolio by Ralph Lauren in orange. Shoes are made-to-order pair by Alfred Sargent.
