#tyylit-kevätpäivä - Summary in pics

On the last Saturday of May we had the pleasure to host our first ever #tyylit-kevätpäivä event.

The jacket is made by Italian Gutteridge. I bought it two years...

That means unlined, unstructured jackets with more casual details such as patch pockets and 3-roll-2 button closure....
