Earlier this week I wrote shortly about sport coats for fall and winter (you can find the post here). I know that most of the jackets featured in the first part can be beyond reach for many thanks to high prices. Therefore I decided to take a quick look to some options suitable in case looking a blazer with a bit lower budget. Sport coats on budget Fact is that there are not many brands / manufacturers making quality sport coats with a low retail price. SuitSupply is one and then there's brands such as Land's End, J.Crew, Club Monaco, Massimo Dutti and Boggi but some of these can be hard to get in case you are living in...
About a month ago together with a few friends we got this idea of taking part for a happening called Tough Viking - now being organized for the first time in Helsinki.

Throwback - last days of vacation x fwstockholm Before getting back at work this week, got to spent few days last week in Sweden checking out the Stockholm fashion week.

It’s respectable and decent but not stuffy, it can usually be dressed up or down quite easily depending on how one pairs it and there’s hardly a circumstance for which a sport coat not appropriate.

These “rules” apply no matter if...
One of the best - or well, the best thing that has come into my life through #menswear and blogging is the opportunity to meet new people and making new friends. Giving the fact most of guys are living in different parts of the world you might not see them very often but there are guys you come to be friends for good. Today I talk about one of those guys, Agyesh Madan. I started my tumblr late 2011 and in fact at that time I could not even dream about the experiences or people it would bring along. One of the "earliest memories" in terms of my tumblr relates to Pitti Uomo 82 which was the first fair in...
