I recently had this tuxedo made by the German tailoring brand Maximilian Mogg, while Max was visiting London for the appointments he runs at Richard Gelding on North Audley Street.  I was interested in having something from Max both because I know readers will be interested, and because I myself...

By Tony Sylvester. Last week, I cracked out some books off the shelf and had a delve into the history of the canvas sneaker, and its place in the summer wardrobe. This was a little continuation of a broader look at Riviera style that Simon and I both tackled a...

“Special things often need explanation. Because they’re special, they’re unusual, and so not familiar. Whether through writing or imagery or trying, they need that little bit of explanation.” I recently reconnected with the guys at Stoffa after a few years of being out of touch. I did so, partly, because...

Matt Barbet is a TV presenter and journalist in the UK, working for the BBC, ITV and now Sky. He’s also a keen cyclist, and we met years ago at a Rapha event, back when were both on the bike far more than we are now.  Matt’s a reader and...

The Friday Polo is the longest-running product we’ve consistently done on PS, but in the past few years I’ve found I wear it in a different way to how I used to. Although it was designed to work well with tailoring, I now wear it more commonly loose and untucked. ...

By Nico Lazaro (above). At first glance, cowboy boots seem an unlikely candidate for the classic men’s wardrobe. They’re bold, regional and carry with them a strong cultural identity – one that can feel unfamiliar, especially to readers outside the American Southwest. But beneath the surface, cowboy boots share many...

Recently a few readers have asked about my dislike of quarter-zip (and half-zip) sweaters. This is probably, at least in part, because they've become so popular – both as a finance-office staple and as fashion.  In the same way as navy chinos, my objection to quarter zips is narrower than...

During discussions for our recent article on clothing etiquette, I spent some time talking to my good, old friend Bruce Boyer. (Not that either of us are old, but rather that I have known him for a good few years.) Bruce, as expected, was both eloquent and erudite in his...
