“It shall stand the wear of the eye” Couple of weeks ago I was surprised to be approached by Daniel Ingdahl, the man behind D.C.I Sweden, a Swedish company producing high-quality accessories for men. They wanted to know if I was interested to give one of their bracelets a try. As I had been seeing pictures of them (have actually posted some pics of them myself as well) and as I had been willing to see how they would be in person for a time now, it was easy for me to say yes. D.C.I has been running for several years (designing kitchens, producing bicycles etc), but began creating hand-made bracelets and other accessories for men a couple of years ago. At...
For a while I had been looking for a new watch. And I gotta honestly say that even though I’ve tried to go through some watch-forums and look through different possibilities, mainly only thing I still know and care when talking about watches is how they look. Then while my visit in London a couple of weeks ago I got a more than pleasant surprise when I met Harry and Nick, the awesome guys running Opumo, as they gave me a piece from Larsson & Jennings they’ve just got into their selection.

Style, comfort and quality Drake’s opened it’s store @ No.3 Clifford Street in May 2011. Since then it has been one of the places I always go while visiting London.

The store that’s situated in the heart of Mayfair, between Savile Row and Bond Street is itself worth to visit. Before Drake’s opened it’s doors, the building used to be the home of a prestigious art and antiques Gallery, known for its Art Nouveau and Art Deco drawings, paintings, and posters. And as said...
Finnish clothing company Schoffa opened it’s first store in 2006. Since then they’re business has been growing all the time and at the moment Schoffa has two brick and mortar stores in Helsinki (Pohjoisesplanadi 33 @ Galleria Esplanad & Unioninkatu 27) and one in Tallinn they opened nearly a year ago (Foorum keskus Narva Mnt 5). In addition they have a webstore to serve clients from all over the world. From the very beginning, the idea behind the concept has been to create fitted shirts for conscious customers, to be an expert of shirts as said by themselves. As said, the main product Schoffa offers is shirts. First and foremost made-to-measure shirts but nowadays ready to wear-shirts as well. All the shirts (mtm and rtw) are...
