I'm not really that fond of leather jackets. Or to be exact, I do like leather jackets and there are some really good looking ones on the market but usually I find it hard to pull them off so that they would look good on me. However I have two "vintage" leather jackets on my closet that I really like. Both I have thrifted several years ago and both I use basically one or two times per year. On Saturday I wanted to wear something casual but still something quite sharp and something that would be appropriate for sunny fall weekend. So I took my A-1 type of brown vintage leather jacket and gave it the first wear of the...
About a month ago I got a shipment from Hungary, my first ever pair of László Vass shoes. Here a few sneak peek shots, more detailed review coming up later. Vass is a name probably familiar for anyone interested of men's quality footwear as the company is known as maker of one of the best shoes - all handmade - available on the market.

As I in the beginning of summer got a chance to give a try to their selection of footwear I didn't need to think twice. Ended up ordering a pair of plain toe double monks made of chestnut brown calf leather on...

The company offers multiple different lines...

The cotton suit might be one of the most underappreciated garments in men's summer wardrobe. Despite that I had for a long time been thinking about getting one commissioned for myself. Today I am taking a look at the result. A suit might sometimes sound like the last thing you want to put on during hot and sunny summer days. There are still many ways to cool down the look and make it appropriate for the weather. First of all by choosing lightweight fabrics and unlined models one can fight the hear. Secondly, different kind of combinations featuring loafers without socks or even t-shirts with a jacket for example can make a difference. id="attachment_9626" Caught by Karl-Edwin Guerre at the party...
