When in Brogues…Crockett & Jones Weymouth Oxford Wholecut Shoes Wing Tip Brogues are in vogue now and that’s […]

It’s winter and though Melbourne winters are relatively mild; autumn winter seasons are really the best time to get your style on. Two things- fun with layers OR awesome fleece. Now I already have a flannel suit, so when I heard Thom Browne was looking to original Brooks Brothers’ hunting attires for inspiration, I was […]

Some months ago, I wrote a piece about Hugo Boss and implied that because they didn’t make working sleeves anymore they were bad suits; What I wasn’t prepared for were the flaming troll siege that was about to befall me- the truth of the matter is, Hugo Boss was (quite possibly still is) the backbone […]

The internet has not yet been installed in my new apartment (thus the lack of posts) and Australia being the chillax-ed nation that it is, I’ll only be getting my ADSL2+ set up on Wednesday (fingers crossed and barring additional unforeseen delays).

Canali Spring Summer 2012 Menswear Collection Taking visual cues from Indian tunics, the Spring-Summer 2012 collection of fine Italian menswear from Canali is a wardrobe of fitted suits and well cut blazers.
