In my mind, the patch pocket is much under appreciated in men's tailoring . We are so used to the standard besom pockets that we think of it as the norm.

The patch pocket adds a wonderful air of casualness to an outfit, which can be useful to tone down the formality of a suit or a sports coat. On a sport coat, it [...]

The wedding [...]10 years ago I would not have rated Sean Combs very high on a list of well dressed men.

A recent article [...]The art of the dress handkerchief doesn’t end with selecting color, pattern, and fabric. Equally important is the way in which the pocket square is worn. A quality square can appear unbecoming if it is improperly handled and haphazardly stuffed into the pocket. That isn’t to say that the handkerchief must appear excessively arranged. Many [...]Pocket squares come in a variety of colors and patterns.

It is important to choose something with texture that moves away from the fine wools one would loo [...]
A funny thing occurs when I tell people I used to play rugby for my house: absolutely nobody believes me.

A film version of the Classic TV drama of 1979 . he story based on the book by John Le Carre is set in the Europe in the 1960s and at the height of the 'Cold War' between the West and Russia (know as the USSR).Brooding and foreboding it is, fast paced it is not, tightly controlled camera angles and a casual flippancy about death rarely seen today.
