Summer keeps getting closer and closer and that means wedding-season is almost just around the corner as well. In case you already have occasions booked at your calendar (I luckily will have at least two) here’s few inspirational outtakes by Swedish Rose&Born. If the invitation says “black tie” - this is your way to do it. If it says something else, forget this. Dark grey is a safe choice, double-breasted jacket brings it to be a bit more distinguishable. Also the collar pin makes the ensemble a bit “dandyish” but as weddings are suppose to be joyous celebration, it’s definitely acceptable. Maybe the most “traditional and essential” option of the ones pictured, blue single-breasted suit together with a...
Korean Finealta released their new spring and summer collection last week. I had earlier got some sneak peeks of the collection but now that it's available at the web shop it's time to take a little closer look of my personal favorite in terms of trouser makers.

Lardini recently opened their renewed website and as a part of that they launched their new journal. At the Journal they have started a series called “Lardini Talks” featuring interviews of some of the personalities linked to the “Lardini world”.

And here’s one of my favorite outfits from the archives, featuring a Lardini silk-linen jacket, Schoffa mtm denim shirt and grenadine tie, Berwich trousers and Crockett&Jones suede loafers.
It’s been years since my last (and so far only) visit in New York. This week heading back to spend few days with #menswear, burgers, friends and sports. In terms of shops to visit and places to see listing all of them would be impossible. However there are few places I’m really looking forward to visit during the week; some because of the selection, some because of the atmosphere and overall aesthetics, some because of the people and some because of all these… Carson Street Clothiers Eidos, AMI, Buttero, Barena, MAN1924 etc.. The brand list itself would make CSC worth a visit. However there’s so much more in this SoHo located shop that just celebrated it’s first “birthday”. Sharing the same educational...
