Tombolini S/S '13 @ Pitti Uomo 82

Besides the short previews and sneak peak photos from Pitti last week I decided to share a bit more photos and details from some of the brands. First of them is going to be Tombolini. “Future has ancient roots” - Classic cutting interpreted with a contemporary taste, valuable materials and perfect finish The company founded in 1964 by Eugenio Tombolini and today run by his daughter Fiorella Tombolini wants by their own words to represent the taste and passion for what can be described beautiful. The thing that really pleased myself and caught my eye was that Tombolini got the whole package from the classic business clothing to more relaxed and casual wear perfectly covered.

Ostospaikat Helsingissä - Vaatturiliike Sauma

Bulevardilta, numeron 13 kohdalta löytyy Vaatturiliike Sauma, joka tarjoaa hyvin pitkälle kaiken, mitä hyvästä, edustavasta ja tyylikkäästä pukeutumisesta kiinnostunut mies saattaa kaivata. Vuonna 2004 oppi-isänsä Jouni Korhosen vaatturiliikkeen hoivaansa ottaneiden ja sitä Sauman nimellä jatkaneiden Olli Holstikon ja Tuomo Pynttärin mukaan Sauma on perinteinen vaatturiliike, joka nykyään on laajentanut valikoimaansa myös mittapukujen sekä valmisvaatteiden puolelle. Keväällä 2011 alun perin osoitteessa Arkadiankatu 15 toiminut liike laajentui myös Bulevardille. Kaksikon mukaan Sauman tavoitteena on, että asiakkaat saavat pukeutua omien tarpeidensa sekä toiveidensa mukaisiin, hyvin istuviin ja viimeistä saumaa myöten yksityiskohdiltaan mietittyihin tuotteisiin. Miesten oma tyyli noudattelee enemmän italialaista kuin perusbrittiläistä linjaa, vaikka kumpikaan ei tunnustaudu minkään tietyn stereotyyppisen koulukunnan "sääntöjen" noudattajaksi.
