ressing for a wedding can be stressful at the best of times; dressing for a Royal Wedding however is a whole different ball game. Although to give them credit the celebrities did rince Willian and Kate proud and turned up en masse in smart sartorial force. Guy Ritchie took a leaf out of David Beckham's style book and opted for a grey tie to match his grey waistcoat; a look he carried off well even when faced with the style icon himself. 
t's now a matter of hours until the Royal Wedding kicks off and whether you plan to watch the event or not there will be no escaping the hype surrounding THE wedding of the year - make that decade or two! With an early start and an extra holiday day for all there's no better excuse to get dressed up and join in with the celebrations. If, like us, your invite was lost in the post you might have resorted to heading down to the local pub to watch the wedding but every effort should still [...]

his gent got married at the beginning of April. He came to us or something slightly different: a divided collar. Not many people have seen one so here is an example of one. A divided collar is great for that special event such as a edding. The style is made up from two different cloths, one full suit fabric on the outer body and the other on the collar, but only normally on the inside of the collar as shown in the picture. nbsp;

In the first part I explained why I’d selected Erlend at Stephan Shirts to make my suit, and why I thought it was a cut above normal Made-to-Measure. In this posting I’ll show you what I decided to have made, and explain why.
In some ways selecting a tailor is the easy part. Deciding what [...]

There are few items of jewellery that a man can get away with wearing in the workplace. A watch, a pair of cufflinks, a belt and a wedding ring are all fine, of course; but extra rings, necklaces and bracelets are often a step too far. There is, however, one oft-overlooked accessory that’s both perfectly [...]

It is said there are two types of men; those who look forward to dress-down-Friday, and those who dread dress-down-Friday. The former encapsulates all the slovenly, tie-off-as-soon-as-I-leave-the-office, ‘Beer is Life’, ‘cool clothes’ loving office-misfits – the man who should be a surfer but ended up as an account manager. He doesn’t want to [...]
If there is one item that one should acquire at some point on their sartorial journey it is a trench coat in a beige, cream, or caramel tone. A belted is preferred as it can be tied without buttoning and just looks damn cool undone and swinging at your sides. This classic color can also [...]

I want to take a minute to discuss the most under appreciated enhancer of the bespoke suit: the turn up. For months now I have cut and created some of the most dashing suits this side of the North Atlantic ocean, but one of the minute irritations I've had about my work is a certain lack of appreciation for a finely finished suit .The cut of the suit is as important as the cloth, colour, and design, but it's the finishing that adds the final dash of salt to the recipe for a proper [...]
