Spiga 3 and the man behind the store

Even though Stockholm is still probably the center of menswear in Nordic countries, it’s definitely not the only place where you can find full range of quality products for style aficionados.  I’ve never been in Gothenburg but as soon as I have the time and chance I will pack my bags and head there. One reason for that is Spiga 3, a store  that just this fall took a huge step and opened their own web store making the goods available for all of us not able to visit directly at the shop. Adam of Spiga 3 giving the final touch for the mannequin. Be sure to visit both - Adam’s own and Spiga 3’s tumblr-blogs. The product range and...

DLA visit at Drake's London Haberdasher Street Factory & Shop

There's a full range of ties, pocket square, scarves but as well knitwear, outerwear and even some shoes from previous Drake's collaborations.  And it's good...

DLA "gift guide" part IV - what about a little trip?

As it’s only one night before Christmas most of you have probably acquired all the gifts you’ve been thinking to get. On the other hand if you haven’t - the clock is ticking pretty roughly.. However there’s still one option left, one that’s always practicable and one I haven’t ever heard someone would have been disappointed to. By giving a little weekend trip (or a longer one if so wanted) for someone you’re not giving one gift but as well a chance to have a good time together and enjoy the company of each others. And well, you can always pick a city that’s worth visiting in terms of menswear as well€¦ And if you’re looking a city to go...

DLA gift guide part III - a (style) book

Is there a more traditional Christmas gift than a book - I guess not. Even though you can find most of the stuff you need to find from the web nowadays, there’s still a place for good old printed books. If nothing else, they can make a really nice play as a decorative element or as an icebreaker whenever you have visitors at your house. On the other hand many people don’t often buy books (as said above, you can find the info from web) for themselves, which makes it still a good choice when thinking about Christmas (or any other) gifts. As usual - few options to help you decide what to buy? Even if it’s not about buying...
