"Hi, uhmm I was just wondering if you have any tips for a beginner in terms of menswear. Not really sure how or where to start and not exactly on the highest of budgets. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I love your page btw" First of all thanks. And as the question is pretty broad, here are first 5 short points to consider. - "Buy less - buy better". Don't rush but also buy nothing just because it's cheap or on sale. On the other hand some basic stuff such as shirts, jeans and knitwear can be found even pretty easily with a lower budget as well if you look for the right places. Pay attention especially...
I’ve said this before but one thing I personally value a lot is seeing people going after their dreams and making them come true. Last June in Pitti Uomo I once again had the pleasure to meet a lot of new people and make new friends. One of the guys I met was a young Swede, Saman Amel - one of the two guys behind the young brand Saman Amel, based in Stockholm and specialized in ties and other accessories. Made in Sweden One of things the guys behind Saman Amel are rightly proud is the fact that all products are not just designed but as well produced personally by their own team in Stockholm, Sweden. The main focus is on...
Some shots via Instagram from the last few weeks as a lazy Sunday-post. Casual walk around part I - Barbour liddesdale jacket, Uniqlo lambswool sweater, Sauma private label chino trousers and Bexley Enfield boots. Weekly lunch burgers… I’ve been looking for a basic blue sport coat for a long time but haven’t really found the one or there has always come some purchases that have been “more important”. In real there’s is nothing more important than a good navy blazer. Found this one made by Mabro from Sauma couple of weeks ago. More details coming up soon. Never say no to a glass (or few) of Champagne. Got a chance to wear my black velvet three-piece suit (made in Finland...
The history of Italian Gran Sasso goes back to year 1952 when four small-town brothers; Nello, Eraldo, Alceo, and Francesco Di Stefano decided to merge their skills to build something with an aim to become one of Italy's most eminent knitwear companies.

All products are naturally - made exclusively in Italy. Finally a quick look of the company’s F/W ´13...
As I’ve mentioned earlier, I don’t really know much about watches. Basically what I know about them is how do they look and what they cost. Recently I’ve been giving more and more thoughts to the idea of upgrading my “watch-game” and thought to share with you the “wish-list” of mine at the moment. Unfortunately it seems that realistically speaking all but the first one on the list are at the moment out of my catch. Maybe I need to start “savings account” as one my friends did recently for the purpose. Seiko SKX007 is considered to be on of the most popular watches of the seiko brand, and the fact that Seiko is one of the most popular watch...
