I've actually been taking the winter season sales pretty easily as I've felt that there has been no special needs for me at the moment. However, during the last couple of weeks, last weekend especially I was kind of "forced" to make few snatches and thought I might share them here as well. 1) Double-breasted suit by Rose&Born in dark grey herringbone wool I had had it in mind for a while now that I could try and find myself a new suit in grey, hopefully something that would work as separate (the jacket at least) as well. Had an hour to spend in Stockholm on Monday as I was there in business and decided to spend it at Rose&Born, hoping...

In the end of last year I was contacted by the people at Chester Mox €“ a small American leather goods company that's specialized on producing handmade leather wallets. All their products are made of top quality materials at their own workshop based in Los Angeles, California.They were kind enough to offer me a chance to review some of their products. And as I had been looking for a new decent wallet to replace the old card holders for quite a while, the offer was more than properly placed. Packed in a nice & simple cardboard case featuring a little cotton bag inside to cover the wallet.[/caption] Sum up - What I got? Before I had seen a lot pictures...

L.B.M 1911 Collection for next fall and winter by Italian Lubiam is definitely characterized by multiple different angles - making it interesting by balancing between delicate & bold and fun & rigor at the same time, mixing strong colors with lighter hues and pastel shades and piecing together different paterns, fabrics and personalizing treatments. Casentino is still strong, for the next fall also in sport coats and blazers and in multiple color choices. One of the most striking pieces in the collection was surely the purple double-breasted casentino jacket as seen above. Red was a dominating color as well. Lubiam also had came up with some really nice weaved patterns and cloths such  as bouclé and knop textures that will make the...

Lasts summer the news was that Italian Loro Piana had decided to sell a majority stake in the business to Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton LVMH and the sale was finally completed last December. Another breaking news regarding the brand was published in December when it was announced that Mr Sergio Loro Piana, one of two brothers that took over the business after their father in the 1970s, and who continued to develop the brand and really expanded it into the luxury retail markets, had passed away at the age of 65. S/S ´14 I’ve said it before, personally I'm a big fan of the company and their overall aesthetics, but especially fond of their look books featuring beautiful and most inspiring illustrations. Field jackets, suede...

In terms of recognizable “brand identity” Eleventy is one of my personal favorites. The visit at their booth in the first day of the fair did not really surprise me - as the company seemed to continue playing by their strengths - keeping things simple and clean, offering a diverse and “easy to combine” selection that would make a great base to build a wardrobe for any men. As usual, in terms of colors Eleventy trusts the basics - blue, grey, brown and burgundy. However for the upcoming fall the color palette has been slightly darkened. Lighter grays have been complemented with darker hues and tones in general a bit deeper shades and tones have been used. Even the blues and other...
