Gray wool suit is staple for fall and winter season. When the days start to get colder it feels natural to change jackets and suits made of lighter fabrics to more subtle wool and flannels and hues of blue to darker shades of gray and brown (and of course blue again). I bought the suit featured here - made of Dugdale Bros & co gray herringbone wool fabric - from Rose&Born couple seasons ago and it has since been one of my favorites. It is suitable for work as seen here but it also works for more casual combinations together with roll necks, double monks and loafers. Last weeks have been pretty busy so just a few shots from yesterday....
Inspired by my own outfit from last weekend - also featured earlier this week in this post - I came up with a collage featuring similar pieces as seen in that ensemble. Suede varsity jacket / bomber by Golden Bear is a suitable piece for those who are looking for a versatile casual jacket. It can easily be worn with denim and casual button-up shirts or t-shirts but when paired with a clean and fitted roll neck sweater and cotton trousers the result is something that could be described as casual chic. The season for white sneakers is almost over (at least here in Finland) so wear them while you still can but do not forget that those colder days and...
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. Mr. Vass himself is also known as the author of his exceptional book "Handmade shoes for men". 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...
After yesterday's take on the seasonal collection of Drake's London another look book and dose of inspiration for the week, this time from Asia. Japanese brand and retailer BEAMS - one of the most interesting names in terms of menswear - a while ago released multiple different look books or catalogues for this season and pictures below have been taken from one them, named "in The style" which features mostly tailored garments together with some a bit more casual and relaxed elements. If you're not yet familiar with BEAMS, to put it shortly, it is a Japan-based retailer that was founded in 1976 and has since expanded into one of the biggest Japanese clothing retailers. The company offers multiple different lines...
