Clifford Tassle Loafers from Grenson Clifford is Grenson’s take on a tassle loafer that was originally English but has been adoted by their friends in the US. Its soft, unlined and works just as well with jeans and without socks as it does with a suit; and speaking of suits, I just wrote about how […]

It’s winter time and during a recent cold (weather-wise, the people are friendly) trip to East Europe, I walked into a Hugo Boss boutique in Berlin if only to check out the latest collection. Know what I found? Hugo Boss has done away with working buttons on the sleeves and that’s outright sacrilegious- It looks […]

Percival is a relative newcomer to the scene and in this their third season of designing uniquely British men’s style, Percival’s latest collection has found a fan in me. While some pieces in their collection are immensely trendy, Percival has chosen lasting fabrics cut and created with luxurious garments with contrast linings that have made […]

I’ve spent the last 4 days doing a lot of walking house hunting for a home in Melbourne and although my leather loafers have done admirably keeping feet and sanity safe despite long distances, I often catch myself thinking that my walkabouts (yes, Australian joke) could be a tad easier. Getting home from Optus (for mobile […]

I’ve previously written about what a hassle it is to travel stylishly (thanks again Bin Laden- No virgins for you); anyhoo, Bottega Veneta has a great line up of stylish travel accoutrements that would help accentuate your outfit and keep your toiletries and assorted knick knacks organised while you globe trot.

But never mind the record, I’m just amazed by how much detail goes into both the watch face and partial skeleton dial […]

Canali makes one of the best suits in the world; If I had to sum it up, I would have to put my finger on their tradition in textiles that dates back to the 1900s. Two brothers, Giovanni and Giacomo Canali, artisans in their own right, holed up in Triuggio, Brianza to make well cut, […]

Watch trends move at a glacial pace when compared with fashion cycles (try buying a $9,000 watch every few months) and one might think that this era of ultra-thin watchmaking is only logical following the heels of the “big watch” craze but really was Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie Piaget has been making thin luxury timepieces […]

It’s not an advert for Bottega Veneta; what you’ll see here is a solid endorsement of what I feel are some of the finest investments a Monsieur can make when it comes to fine leather accessories. I’m of the opinion that a good wallet or shoes will bring you many more years of joy than […]

You’ve probably heard me stress time and again on the ethos of “classic elegance”. I’m not against trendsetting fashion but rather the serious amounts of dosh it takes to keep one’s wardrobe updated when there are so many tasty pursuits out there (ahem: asset building, vintage cars and fantastic watches); and truth be told fickle […]
