not a photo this time you'll notice, but a link to a great short film on how sette, a bespoke tie company in como, italy make their ties. i love the shots of the machinery, and the rolls of tie fabrics are beautiful!
enjoy...

really loving this look...whilst a black tie, chambrey shirt and cream suit goes against most peoples colour pallette, i think the prportions of the shirt collar and lapel really work. and the knit tie and shirt fabric (i own half a dozen chambreys!) keep it from being too stuffy...i don't think a woven tie would have had the same effect. one more for the wardrobe!

anyone who's followed my blog in the past knows i have a thing for libraries...i'm obsessed with books, and one day will have the perfect library to house them all!
this one comes pretty close. love the industrial library shelving, especially when mixed with the exposed brick walls...and having art lying around the place? dream!

two great ways to wear white pants now summer is in full swing! either get your euro vibe going with a color blazer at right above, (love the navy shirt on this guy too!) or tone it down for a classic look with a navy blazer, white shirt and tie. both guaranteed to turn heads. now, where are those white pants i stored away?

i'm back!

after a very long (too long) absence on this blog, i've decided to start writing again.

thought the above was an appropriate place to start!

look out for more regular posts from me!

cheers,

miles

as you can see, i've posted a link....
now whilst i'm not the kind of person to normally post a link, i think this deserving of the exception.
gentlemen take heed..whilst you're rushing around asking why that bespoke suit you ordered last week isn't hanging in your closet yet, look at these films and see how long the process takes..but come to think of it, you probably don't have the time! the rest of you, enjoy...simply inspiring, and a dying art..lets keep it alive!!

daily inspiration #149

hello everyone...been quite a while since i last posted, got a bit hooked on pinterest! but i've decided i should concentrate on this blog again as well!

love these 4 looks here, very simple, yet very sophisticated ways of making a suit pop, either tonally or with a bit of color. which reminds me...can't wait for the weather to cool down so i can start wearing suits again on a daily basis...takes the hassle out of trying to figure out what to wear in the morning!
