Since 1961, for over 50 years Esemplare (Manifattura Riese) products have been manufactured in the region of Reggio Emilia, Italy. Combining the best Italian tradition and experimentation the brand offers fresh and personal casual elegance. The mission of the company is to make clothes interwoven with care, passion and respect, finding the way to ride the wave of evolution and revolution naturally, inquisitively exploring changing times and then interpreting them €“ but without denying its own history. The recent F/W collection is once again all about beautiful and sensible simplicity of the lines and liaison between aesthetics, functionality, technical materials, comfort and refinement. In the lookbook there’s also a lot exploitation of layering to bring all the pieces smoothly together. Finishing of...
As usual with Borrelli the collection for fall combines casual pieces with formal elements in a very compatible and easy way. In terms of colors keeping the palette around shades of blue, brown and grey just makes the collection even more versatile and possible to mix. Great layering for the weekend - denim shirt with a button-up sweater is chic yet casual combination. This grey quilted flannel jacket featuring brown contrast details is personally my favorite piece of the collection. For the look I would go with a solid shirt though. When it comes to fall gear, burgundy (or wine red) is too often undervalued. Works great when paired with shades of grey and blue as done here. Sometimes it’s...
Sauma started their “made-to-measure days” on Saturday and they will go on until 28th of September. During the days all mtm-products (suits, sport coats, trousers and shirts) comes with -20% discount. As due all the work and stuff it had been too long from my previous visit I decided to go and take look at their new selection for the fall (more about that later) and also at the fabrics for this season. Picked some of my favorites and some otherwise interesting choices. Especially liked the bold patterns by Holland and Sherry, even though might end up going with some more subtle and restrained fabrics myself. What I’d need is a new “basic” suit for work. This dark blue, lightweight wool...
I’ve often said that one of the best things in blogging and #menswear is meeting and get to know new people and making new friends of them. But I guess even better thing is seeing those people make their dreams come true while creating new brands, products or projects. And doing it by taking “the leap of faith” that most people would just dream of… At the moment I’m more happy to share with you the fact that one of the people I’ve got to know during the last couple years, Miguel of Beyond Fabric (which in fact is one of the most versatile #menswear blogs imo) has finally got the online store for his brand @beyondfabric.eu open and running....
Today after work I had a pleasure to visit at Schoffa while the “VIP Night” they had arranged for their friends and customers. A great get-together with nice people, good catering, some nice offerings and of course, free champagne. What would be a better way to spend your evening. I also got the chance to take a little closer look at their new selection of ties, scarves, pocket squares and some new shirt fabrics (including some nice flannels) for the season. Especially liked the grenadine ties (actually bought one earlier today when I just quickly popped to the shop) and the paisley patterned wool scarves. They also have a got a new line of “Schoffa”-labeled suits for this fall. Taking...
