- I’m no big Rolex fan, but this Cellini model from the 1970s on Robin’s wrist makes me a little envious. It’s just about the perfect elegant dress watch
- A Woodhouse 6-ply suiting from the early 1980s, arguably the finest suit cloth ever made. At a distance, this one looks navy, however it’s only an effect from a combination of black, royal blue, red and green yarns
- “You made my day,” a lady said as she stopped me on the street. “That outfit is simply so beautiful,” she continued. So I thought I ought to capture my attire on this day when I got home🧵
- Tweed jacket in Prince of Wales and flannel trousers, both bespoke. Before the War, this outfit was reserved for students only, as it was considered too casual. Hard to fathom today.
- The starting point for wearing tweed in the city: a brown jacket, grey trousers, a light blue shirt, a navy tie, and brown shoes
- Are you still wearing slim-fit pants? Stop it. Pants should drape. That’s how it’s been for 200 years, except from 2004 to 2019, when stores and the fashion industry convinced people that slim-fit pants were both stylish and classic—which they aren’t. Pants should have width.
- Classic Savile Row with roped sleeve head, swelled chest, pinched waist, and a flared skirt. Cut by Malcolm Plews
- Burnt orange is the new black - Yukio Akamine in Florence in a flannel suit and a raglan overcoat
- The Pitti Uomo fair in Florence (Italy) has kicked off today. Larger jackets and trousers have all but conquered the streets.
