It’s the season again for travellers to come to town. From mid-March to mid-May, brands and tailors and shirtmakers will be in London, particularly if they’re the kind that come 2-3 times a year. A few of those will be in our showroom, ...

Assisi handmade-to-measure suit: Review
It’s fair to say that since we first covered the Korean tailors Assisi here on Permanent Style, they’ve become extremely popular. They are now travelling to more destinations around the world, for longer, and we’ve seen many reader...

Hi Michael, Can I ask whether you have read my articles on both Japanese and Korean tailors already? There is a dedicated article on Japanese ones here and then a separate one on Ciccio. For Korea, there is a general art...

Autumn in the PS Showroom in London is going to be busy. We have Assisi coming back, the normal Permanent Style pop-ups in London and New York, and three new events: J.Mueser, Casatlantic and a pre-owned clothing sale. Plus the watch site Subdial ar...

It also looks like a very dark navy to me based on the photo. I also really like the look you posted! In fact, I think a lighter shade of navy would not work as well with these indigo jeans and the dark navy shirt. A nav...

The thing I was most excited about doing with our new PS Showroom (other than picking carpet colours, obviously) was helping brands come to London. Doing a pop-up is not cheap or easy, so helping someone do so affordably and with local advice is app...

I'm not that much of a fan of the City Loafer to be honest, the silhouette isn't quite my style. I think the make is also similar to the City Moc that we talked about recently here, which is very unstructured and so a li...
Assisi double-breasted navy blazer: Review
I’ve settled into a bit of a rhythm with Korean tailors Assisi now. I love their soft-but-elegant style, I trust their fit and execution, and I know their double-breasted in particular is something I wear the hell out of. So my next commissio...

That material you mean? It's not as normal in brown, but yes it would be good. Look also at wool/silk/linens, and recommendations in the summer jackets guide...

Assisi, the Korean tailors I have enjoyed using so much over the past year, have announced they are coming to London for the first time. They will be here at the end of February, from Friday February 28th to Sunday March 2nd. The location is yet to ...

I really love playing with new colours in clothing. It’s like a fun little exercise in how much you know about what goes with what - how far you’ve come in your menswear journey. Yet at the same time, I also find it consistently throws ...

Assisi double-breasted summer suit: Review
This suit from Korean tailor Assisi has already been teased a couple of times on PS. Once during the fitting process in Seoul , where it frankly looked impossibly clean. And once when I wore it for our summer drinks in the Burlington Arcade. No sui...

I don't think it is necessarily, Chris, it's more about the proportions of the jacket above and about your size and figure too - think of it like keeping things in a certain proportion I just checked these trousers, they...

When the shoemaker Seiji McCarthy came to New York recently to take part in our pop-up, he brought with him a recent commission from Tailor Caid, the Japanese bespoke tailor run by Yuhei Yamamoto. Yamamoto is a big enthusiast for mid-century America...

The breadth and style of Korean tailoring
On the Wednesday night of my recent trip to Seoul, there was a party to celebrate the anniversary of the local cloth agency, Renovatio. The founder Sam Ahn invited everyone in the industry, and over 200 people turned up. I have never seen so many w...

That's useful, thanks Paul. Do you mind if I suggest you look up the articles on PS for all three of those tailors? You'll find the prices at the time of writing, plus other useful information on them...
Assisi bespoke double-breasted tweed: Review
Readers who saw the first article on Assisi , the Korean tailor that made this tweed double-breasted jacket, were impressed with how the fit was looking, and they weren’t wrong. It’s a very well cut piece of bespoke, with a three-dimens...
