The sport coat is probably the most variable garment in men’s wardrobe - if you just choose the right one. It’s respectable and decent but not stuffy, it can usually be dressed up or down quite easily depending on how one pairs it and there’s hardly a circumstance for which a sport coat not appropriate. To put it shortly, there are some points to consider when looking for a jacket. There shouldn't be any pulls or puckers along the front or back of the jacket when wearing it, the sleeves should be free of any ripples when the arms are naturally hanging down, and the jacket should in general have clean lines all around. These “rules” apply no matter if...
One of the best - or well, the best thing that has come into my life through #menswear and blogging is the opportunity to meet new people and making new friends. Giving the fact most of guys are living in different parts of the world you might not see them very often but there are guys you come to be friends for good.

In the morning it was time to head back to office after three weeks of vacation. Ended up making it easy and playing safe by going with my favorite suit from Caruso together with some subtle shades of blue for shirt and tie. It was nice to be on vacation but it’s also good to be back at work.

For the first time the company also has a...
Back home after great trips to Barcelona and Stockholm - more about those later. It’s been pretty quiet at the blog but time to get back on track here as well as the fall keeps coming. Earlier this week I got featured @ Yhden miehen tyyli - a blog by Finnish writer Jani Niipola (who is also the man behind the book Vapaa Tyyli - probably the best men’s style book written in Finnish). In the summer Jani got me answering few questions and my thoughts can now be read from here. They are in Finnish but I guess google translator will help in case it seems to hard to understand… Photos by Elina Simonen. Wearing: Suit: Rose&Born Shirt: Kamakura :...
