Heading to London for a few days. On the list there’s at least… 1) Wildsmith shoes Eager to see the whole collection in real. 2) Drake’s London The shop at Clifford Street has always been a regular visit for me while my stays in London. Now looking forward to see the new Haberdasher Street Shop as well. 3) The Shoe Snob / J. Fitzpatrick @ Gieves & Hawkes Savile Row Justin is definitely one the most talented guys in the industry. This time I gonna take one of my pairs for him to give it one hell of a shine and care treatment. Also nice to check out the first range of his personal label footwear. 4) Trunk Clothiers and...
During my last visit in London I finally made it to Trunk Clothiers which had been in my “to visit”-list for quite a while. Even though the shop, which was launched in 2010 itself is pretty small (on two floors) they’ve got themselves a selection that can satisfy all your need no matter are looking for something tailored or more casual and “street style” stuff.

Before Drake’s opened it’s doors, the building used to be the home of a prestigious art and antiques Gallery, known for its Art Nouveau and Art Deco drawings, paintings, and posters. And as said...
Visited earlier on the week at the Drake’s store at Clifford street (London) and once again it got me amazed… Went to see if they still would have had some of those unicorn pocket squares I missed at their websites winter sale. Had no luck… :) New S/S scarves and pocket squares looked awesome as well as all of the ties. My personal favorite was absolutely the flamingo print cotton and silk pocket square. Also got to take a closer look at the new sport jackets (read more about from here) and those looked and felt great in nature. I tried on the blue double-breasted one on size 38, which was pretty good even though it was a bit too long...
