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 ...

Yes we will have some more of that too. I would wear it with browns perhaps, but not usually and I might want something in between them, eg a belt between shirt and trousers, and a jacket that wasn't brown...
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...

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...

I can't remember the code, but I'll cover it after Pitti when I've taken a few shots of it. I think it was Harrison's...
