I had a lot of fun combing through this season’s new releases and putting together some outfits in this post. Armchair quarterbacking in a way, but for tailored clothing. Since Cavour is a great shop, run by enthusiasts, they’ve curated a broad range of excellent products – Canali, 100 Hands, Edward Green and Ring Jacket …
Google “mid grey trousers”. You’ll find lots of great articles that extol the virtues of mid grey (flannel especially) trousers. I agree with most of them. Mid grey is the ubiquitous choice when it comes to the basics of wearing odd jacket and trousers combinations. There’s good reason – it’s really, really difficult to screw …
It’s been quite a while since I’ve done one of these posts, and since I’ve been reaching for this square a lot lately, it makes sense to have a look at four outfits that include the Amidé Hadelin Rembrandt “The Syndics” pocket square.

Fall is a wonderful time of year. The weather is cooling down, the leaves are changing colours, the heavier fabrics come out of storage, and Spier and Mackay releases a collection of pure awesomeness. The sun rises a little later, and sets a little earlier. This means that by the time I need to leave …
I’ve spoken about the need for a seasonal wardrobe before, and heavier fabrics for fall/winter are wonderful. There is an advantage to colder weather in the ability to layer for warmth. You can’t layer for cool. Choosing the right fabrics for warm weather is key – especially if you’re like me and are sensitive to …
Thinking about spring… March was still cold enough for lots of flannel and tweed pieces. The days are getting longer, and we saw quite a few days above 0. As much as I love tweeds, I’m looking forward to the wool and linen blends that I’ll be wearing soon. What I Wore – Olive and …
