As we are soon in the middle of the darkest, lightless and wettest season of the year here in the North, it’s a good time to take a quick look of few options to protect oneself against rainy & windy days. Instead of being just the piece you wear when heading to the countryside, this fall especially the slim cut raincoat models have been making their way to be more and more popular, even on the streets in the cities. Below are pictured three different options - from three different Nordic countries. 1) Stutterheim Raincoats - Arholma From Sweden - at the moment everyone is aware of Stutterheim. Kanye is wearing it, multiple magazines have been covering them and they just launched a collaboration...
As usual with Borrelli the collection for fall combines casual pieces with formal elements in a very compatible and easy way. In terms of colors keeping the palette around shades of blue, brown and grey just makes the collection even more versatile and possible to mix. Great layering for the weekend - denim shirt with a button-up sweater is chic yet casual combination. This grey quilted flannel jacket featuring brown contrast details is personally my favorite piece of the collection. For the look I would go with a solid shirt though. When it comes to fall gear, burgundy (or wine red) is too often undervalued. Works great when paired with shades of grey and blue as done here. Sometimes it’s...
I’ve often said that one of the best things in blogging and #menswear is meeting and get to know new people and making new friends of them. But I guess even better thing is seeing those people make their dreams come true while creating new brands, products or projects. And doing it by taking “the leap of faith” that most people would just dream of… At the moment I’m more happy to share with you the fact that one of the people I’ve got to know during the last couple years, Miguel of Beyond Fabric (which in fact is one of the most versatile #menswear blogs imo) has finally got the online store for his brand @beyondfabric.eu open and running....
This fall the double-breasted jackets are going to be more and more seen and “popular” in the streets so here are 4 different kind of db-options (plus one extra choice) to consider while making your purchases for the colder days that are coming. 1) Cantarelli Solid and light-colored overcoat made of angora and virgin wool by Italian Cantarelli will be a perfect choice whenever you need something to wear over your business suit. 2) L.B.M 1911 A classic and timeless piece “twisted” with soft Italian tailoring and “washed” wool-mixture fabric. 3) Montecore The detachable inner collar makes this Montecore jacket versatile and suitable to be worn also on a bit more colder fall days. Can be found also single-breasted. 4) Eleventy This...
Blank canvas Blank canvas is the said to be theme for Eleventy F/W ´13 collection. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Eleventy would make a great base (or be the blank canvas) to build for every man’s wardrobe. The color scheme as always restrained and earthy and the pieces are subtly combined & versatile. As in this one, the style of the collections is always pretty easy to recognize as Eleventy. In general I like the DB jackets (common piece in Eleventy collections) and lightweight outerwear garments of the collection but my personal favorite of the lookbook is definitely the fit in the last pic featuring nice light colored rollneck sweater, double-breasted gilet and flannel-cargos. The shoes...
