Every Sunday we try to do an inspirational round-up via tyylit.fi-tumblr - based on the pics that I’ve come across during the week or by digging some nice stuff from the archives. This time I decided to pick few things from there to highlight things I find inspirational at the moment. Lightweight sport coat… Wrote a while ago about sport coats for the spring and summer (find it from here). I’m really a fond of double-breasted jackets and this one by G.Abo Napoli (available via Spiga3, which just also started their summer sale today) is one of the nicest I’ve seen for this season. Light colored, soft shapes and featuring bold but still low-key windowpane pattern. White shirts… White shirt is...
Last Wednesday Vaatturiliike Sauma hosted a nice cocktail party, celebrating their 10-year anniversary. What would be better than have few drinks, enjoy good food and be around like-minded people with the same passion and interest. One more time congrats to Olli and Tuomo, not just extremely talented tailors, but most of all great guys and friends who have done a huge job to bring further the #menswear-scene and men’s clothing in Finland. And be sure there’s more to come, so stay tuned and keep an eye on these fellows. My focus was more on enjoying the party than playing with my camera but anyway, here’s few shots and details from Wednesday-evening. And one last shot via instagram. Wearing (if someone...
No meetings means denim (and naturally no socks) in the office. No surprises, playing with simple and solid colors.
As mentioned yesterday, white cotton slacks are one my personal summer staples in terms of any even little more dressed-up occasions. But when it comes to those more casual set ups, four out of five times my choice is a classic field jacket and light colored denim. The rest depends on the day, this time ended up with a lightweight merino-wool crew neck sweater, white button-up to keep the balance and finally spice it up a little with those Buttero tanino-sneakers.

I don’t usually wear that much of black (except shoes and in occasions when in need for a formal suit / tuxedo), basically because of the dominance and intransigence of black which makes it sometimes hard to combine black pieces with other colors.
However have recently been getting a fair share of #blackswag-propaganda so decided to use my old Uniqlo cashmere-merino wool cardigan as a layer when heading out for drinks last night.

Saint Crispin's is simpy one of the best shoe brands in the world. In terms of quality, design and finish Saint Crispin's shoes are ranked among the top tier on the market. Especially details and design are things that distinguishes them compared to for example the best British manufacturers. For example the soles of Saint Crispin's shoes are like work of art with their extremely beautifully shaped waists and toe plates. I had the pleasure to take a closer look of Saint Crispin's shoes in Stockholm while the owner Phillip Car was visiting the city. They had a trunk show together with Spanish Meermin which I attended. Check out also my earlier post regarding Meermin shoes. Saint Crispin's shoes -...
