I don’t usually wear that much of black (except shoes and in occasions when in need for a formal suit / tuxedo), basically because of the dominance and intransigence of black which makes it sometimes hard to combine black pieces with other colors.
However have recently been getting a fair share of #blackswag-propaganda so decided to use my old Uniqlo cashmere-merino wool cardigan as a layer when heading out for drinks last night.

When it comes to the L.B.M. 1911 spring and summer collection by Italian Lubiam, the company remains committed to its high quality standards and continues to be innovative in its ongoing research of new fabrics and treatments. As seen in the look book, blazers and sport coats for this season come in a variety of fabrics, dying treatments and patterns. The collection skillfully combines elegance and sophistication and as the look book proves, the collection also provides perfect balance between smart, chic and casual. And as usual, everything is very softly tailored, keeping the construction as light as possible. The collection also features lots of bold patterns (as also typical for the brand). There’s floral and geometric motifs printed on the reverse...
Saint Crispin's is simpy one of the best shoe brands in the world. In terms of quality, design and finish Saint Crispin's shoes are ranked among the top tier on the market. Especially details and design are things that distinguishes them compared to for example the best British manufacturers. For example the soles of Saint Crispin's shoes are like work of art with their extremely beautifully shaped waists and toe plates. I had the pleasure to take a closer look of Saint Crispin's shoes in Stockholm while the owner Phillip Car was visiting the city. They had a trunk show together with Spanish Meermin which I attended. Check out also my earlier post regarding Meermin shoes. Saint Crispin's shoes -...
Couple of months Norwegian Berg&Berg launched the first pieces of their S/S ´14 collection. I mentioned it here and outlined few of my personal favorites. One interesting point regarding Berg&Berg is that they don’t release the whole collection at once but add new items to the store every now and then. Some pieces of the collection has already been sold out but just this week some nice grenadine ties were added to the selection. So it’s worth every now and then to keep an eye on the site even though you wouldn’t find what you’re looking for in the first place. Also got a chance to couple of things from the collection to get a bit more closer look. As...
As I’m spending my Easter-holidays in Amsterdam it’s a good time to share some outtakes from last weeks - via instagram. First-time wear of the new Finealta denim, together with a chunky roll-neck sweater and my old field jacket. First-time wear of spring for those Superga sneakers as well. Office-uniform. Caruso suit, Kamakura shirt, Viola Milano cashmere tie and Alfred Sargent shoes. Got a new key-chain for the summer from Sauma - by Lardini. Shades of green, blue and hints of orange. Shirt by Sonrisa for Rose&Born, Weekday denim and Carmina string loafers. G.Abo flannel x Alfred Sargent Moore oxfords. There can never be too much of this. Had a nice after-work last Friday while visiting “Samppanjamarkkinat” @Korjaamo. As said, having...
