Berg&Berg S/S ´14 collection in review

Couple of months Norwegian Berg&Berg launched the first pieces of their S/S ´14 collection. I mentioned it here and outlined few of my personal favorites. One interesting point regarding Berg&Berg is that they don’t release the whole collection at once but add new items to the store every now and then. Some pieces of the collection has already been sold out but just this week some nice grenadine ties were added to the selection. So it’s worth every now and then to keep an eye on the site even though you wouldn’t find what you’re looking for in the first place. Also got a chance to couple of things from the collection to get a bit more closer look. As...

Last weeks through Instagram

As I’m spending my Easter-holidays in Amsterdam it’s a good time to share some outtakes from last weeks - via instagram. First-time wear of the new Finealta denim, together with a chunky roll-neck sweater and my old field jacket. First-time wear of spring for those Superga sneakers as well. Office-uniform. Caruso suit, Kamakura shirt, Viola Milano cashmere tie and Alfred Sargent shoes. Got a new key-chain for the summer from Sauma -  by Lardini. Shades of green, blue and hints of orange. Shirt by Sonrisa for Rose&Born, Weekday denim and Carmina string loafers. G.Abo flannel x Alfred Sargent Moore oxfords. There can never be too much of this.

Visit @ Isaia Showroom - New York

During my trip in New York last month I got the chance to drop by and pay a visit at Isaia’s showroom on the 5th Avenue. A while ago I wrote about the collection as it was seen at Pitti Uomo for the first time, so I’m not gonna go there that much again but you can find my review and more pics from here. Although whereas the presentation at Pitti concentrated highly on the sportswear and casual selection, it was great to see the whole ensemble featuring also the more business- ja formal-oriented side of the line at the showroom. Here’s few outtakes in terms of what will be seen during next fall and winter. Bold patterns (as usual), mixture of...

040414 - Uniformish Friday

Last day of the week with a couple meetings to go through. No need for a full suit so ended up going with a pretty much “uniform look” in flannel featuring what else but simple colors mainly in tones of blue and grey. Wool blazer by Mabro and checked blue mtm-shirt by Isaia. Trousers made of lighweight dark grey flannel (Finealta) and lighter grey cashmere tie from Viola Milano. Pocket square by Schoffa and shoes (which definitely needed to be sweeped after taking the shot) made by Crockett&Jones for Paul Smith.
