Bastong that I in the first place got familar at Pitti Uomo in January is a South Korean company, dedicated to making classic but casual daily outerwear with a philosophy that "Regardless of genre, 'anything that's well made does work". The selection of the brand is small including basically 5 different jackets and in addition they make 1-2 new models differing from one season to another. The design of Bastong focuses on creating a clean look combined with high quality materials and construction. As they say by themselves - a good product with good care will last forever. Collection for spring and summer ´15 is named and inspired by "Sahara desert", including two different color schemes - a sand picturing the...
Today taking a throwback to Florence and to the day 2 of Pitti Uomo 86. I am wearing a checked Lardini double-breasted sport coat with white cotton slacks by Berwich.

The summer season is already almost coming to an end and shops here and there have been starting their summer sales. One of DLA supporters, Norwegian Berg&Berg also started their sales today so in case you are looking for some new ties, pocket squares, scarves or leather goods (and even if you really weren’t), take a look at their selection.

One of the most expected collections to see at Pitti Uomo this time was definitely The GIGI, a company founded by brothers Mario and Pierluigi Boglioli. After seeing their first collection (f/w ´14) presented in January the hopes of seeing something new, interesting and inspiring were high.
