The Ticket Pocket
Updated: 2010-08-31 00:00:00
Perhaps the one design feature that divides sartorial purists, is that of the ticket pocket. The ticket pocket is a secondary, smaller pocket that usually resides above the outer right pocket, but in some bespoke examples can be found on the left. My Wardrobe Refashion - Garment #11

Fall Essentials 2010: Gray Flannel Suit
Updated: 2010-08-30 05:00:10
This iconic outfit worn by Gregory Peck in “The Man In They Gray Flannel Suit” was originally meant to represent his character Tom Rath as a hopeless corporate drone. The uniform of choice for those that had none. For my generation, the flannel suit has taken on a new persona exemplifying class, elegance, and respect [...]The Mohair Suit

The tail end of summer, depressing though it is, is here in the northern hemisphere. The flowery optimism of May, the sultry afternoons of June, the silent heat of July somehow, they all feel a lifetime ago in this bizarre period of autumnal descent. Neither warm nor cold, the climate confuses gentlemen; frowning on their [...]I was sucked into the back-to-school sales

Sartorial Love/Hate: Braces
Updated: 2010-08-27 15:30:49
An elderly acquaintance of mine once commented on my use of a belt with my suit trousers. “Do you need that thing there or is it for show?” I gave him a rather awkward, sideways look; “No” I said “I need it. It’s not just for show.” He leaned over, smiled insidiously, opened his jacket [...]Nellie's New Coat

The Suit (Birmingham)
Updated: 2010-08-27 00:00:00After 100 years the suit is still the basis of a man's costume and as such it must be respected. It can be argued that it is the most comfortable costume in which one can conduct oneself in modern life. Here at A Suit That Fits we use our expertise to calculate the tolerance between skin and cloth, best suited (pardon the pun) to each individual. You can choose as many different design attributes as you require, for example the amount of pockets needed to carry the paraphernalia of living: mo [...]

There’s a very pleasing aesthetic in slim boots that can be worn with a suit. The most famous of all being the pair I found at Daffy’s. The reason I call them famous is because I have received at least a dozen e-mails about what brand they are and can only respond with “I don’t [...]Texture magic is so fun!

Fall 2010 Essentials: Tote Bag
Updated: 2010-08-25 05:00:10
For the man who is constantly on the go a tote bag is more of a necessity than a desire. For professional purposes I use briefcases from Coach but for the everyday haul I go with a tote bag. I do not for the life of me understand why some men feel this option is [...]What? No Tie?
Updated: 2010-08-25 03:41:59
Wearing a tie out of choice can provoke some interesting commentary. People tend to nod approvingly, make pleasant-but-commonplace remarks about smartness and pay the neckwear more attention than it deserves, but importantly they place so much consequence on its appearance in an environment in which it is entirely unnecessary, much as an open neck wing-collar [...]Glam rock is back

Tweed is a fall fabric that is such a necessity in a man’s wardrobe. I find the heavy tweed sport coat to be the smartest choice because of it’s versatility, quality, and warmth. I feel that out of all the choices a good vintage tweed is the way to go. Last year, I purchased a [...]What to wear to: DÃa de Sant Bartomeu – Ibiza
