Dressed-up New Yorkers: The view from the pop-up
October 27th 2023Our New York pop-up (now in its second year) brings in an interesting range of people - more, perhaps, than London. There’s Guy, who came last time too, an old-school New Yorker in bespoke, red socks and Warren Edwards loafers; Duncan, the kn...

Introducing: The grey cashmere crewneck
October 13th 2023There is a knit that I’ve always worn under everything. It’s what I wear under a tailored jacket, like the Anthology grey herringbone , but also what I wear under casual clothing like my Connolly tobacco suede . It goes with the full ra...

I'm not sure it's 4 ply, I think it's just a thicker yarn because it's a thicker fibre, the wool...
The appeal of Solaro: Suit from Cristina Dalcuore
October 11th 2023Solaro has always been one of those materials I’ve found intriguing but never took the leap on, simply because I was too unsure how much I’d like such an unusual, and in some ways showy material. For those that don’t know, Solaro ...
The appeal of Solaro: Suit from Cristina Dalcuore
Match in comments:
Hey Andrew, Always as a suit myself. That look sounds like it shouldn't work, as you say. I suspect it may have been a combination of a few things that made it work - eg an old and worn-in jacket, worn undone, soft make ...
Introducing: The Rider’s Raincoat
October 4th 2023About eight months ago we made the decision to discontinue our trench coat in favour of something simpler and subtler. A few conversations with friends had brought up the issue, repeatedly, of not being able to find a really stylish but understated,...
The London pop-up, Autumn 2023
October 2nd 2023We are, for better or worse, an itinerant retailer. The London PS pop-up is about to enter its 10th iteration, just after holding a second one in New York, but the format and location are changing. This time we're back to just us, just PS products, ...
The London pop-up, Autumn 2023
Match in comments:
Hey Andy, I wonder whether your friend's has darkened a little with time. There will be slight differences between batches, but only very slight. When we were trying on the donegals this year on people in the shop, they ...
Introducing: The New Friday Polo
September 22nd 2023The Friday Polo was one of the first proper products we ever developed on Permanent Style and has gone through several iterations - spread collar, button-down, lightweight and heavy, short sleeve and long. But in the eight years since it launched, ...
If you only owned five pieces of knitwear: A caps...
September 8th 2023I’ve had a few requests over the years to do one of these, our wardrobe-building guides , about knitwear. One of the challenges of doing so is that very little is right or wrong, and a lot is personal. Still, there are some helpful things ...

Match in comments:
Thanks Mark. No, shawls are a lot easier than half zips with collared things, as the shawl collar is softer and less sticky-uppy (for want of a better phrase). Still, I would usually wear shawl collars with softer collar...
Autumn/Winter 2023 on the PS Shop
August 21st 2023As has now become routine, here is a view into what’s arriving in the PS Shop during the rest of the year. There are some new products and restocks of favourites, for any that have missed them thus far. We try to give an accurate month for la...
Autumn/Winter 2023 on the PS Shop
Match in comments:
I haven't looked at the linens recently Ben, sorry. I can try and remember to next time I'm on the Row though. Never a problem to comment on old posts - PS articles never get old, they only mature...
Questions about unlined loafers – with my B...
August 18th 2023There have been quite a few queries about unlined shoes, particularly loafers, in recent months. Ones about longevity and fit specifically have come up multiple times. I thought it would be good therefore to do a post summarising answers to them, in...
Questions about unlined loafers – with my B...
Match in comments:
I'd say you probably want unlined if you can. Belgians would be great but a slimmer, different style. My favourite are unlined Piccadilly from Edward Green but the Harvard from Crocketts is also good - black unlined cord...

June 9th 2023The PS Oxfords in blue and white have just been restocked, as have the overshirts in navy (above). The shorts (below) also came in a week ago. Given the number of questions there have been about restocks, and issues with delays, we also thought it w...

Packing for travel: My Japan capsule wardrobe
May 24th 2023I thought it would be interesting to do a post on what clothing I packed for my recent Japan trip. People always seem to like these capsule pieces , although this trip was particularly challenging for a couple of reasons. First, I needed a full ran...
Packing for travel: My Japan capsule wardrobe
Match in comments:
I think it's a hard one to cover DJ because it depends so much on your style and lifestyle - but the travel capsule articles like this one are surely a good indicator of one range that would all fit in a single suitcase?...
Finest Polos back in stock, with charcoal and black
May 5th 2023The Finest Polo - our superfine, high-twist merino knit - is back in stock, with black and charcoal new for this season, alongside navy. The colour choice this summer was partly driven by last summer. I wore a sample of a charcoal at Pitti last yea...
Finest Polos back in stock, with charcoal and black
Match in comments:
They are fairly fine Anthony, but I fold mine and it's fine. Perhaps do so with less on top? Also, I presume you are ironing them after wear? That helps bring back the original shape a little, add some space, and might h...

April 7th 2023This feels almost nostalgic. The 'finest knitwear' was one of the first proper collaborations we did, six years ago , with the amazing Umbria Verde in Italy. We discontinued it because I wanted to focus on collared knits and cardigans - the Dartmoo...

The cartridge bag: A small eccentricity
March 31st 2023Over the past few months, I’ve been enjoying wearing this vintage cartridge bag as an occasional day bag - for when I don’t need to carry a computer or other bulky things. It started when a reader asked about a crossbody bag he could ca...

Match in comments:
Get a Victorinox Mythic Crossbody, it is perfect for what you are looking for and is made of nylon with just a touch of leather, so the bag's weight is reduced....
New pink and green-stripe oxford shirts
March 27th 2023Two new stripes in the PS Oxford shirt have been added to the shop today: a light pink and a pale green . As is often the case with PS products, they have been chosen as particularly understated, easy-to-wear styles. The pink is the same as that us...
New pink and green-stripe oxford shirts
Match in comments:
It depends on the oxford to an extent, as there is a lot of variety in how fine the material is, some really feel like dress shirts. For a traditional, coarser oxford, I'd personally go with a placket but it wouldn't loo...
Tonal layering with black jeans: Comfy, drapey, easy
March 20th 2023This outfit I wore last week really tickled me - I think primarily for its combination of T-shirt and tailoring. Working the two together in some way (as in this, perhaps Summer equivalent ) is often an effective way to achieve the ‘casual ch...

The next talk with Rubato, and pop-up shop updates
March 10th 2023I’m pleased to say that the next in our series of talks at Mortimer House will be with Oliver and Carl from Rubato, on March 31st. These events have a really nice atmosphere, with everyone milling around, browsing the products and chatting to ...
The next talk with Rubato, and pop-up shop updates
Match in comments:
Yes, I have lots of the Rubato lambswool. Lambswool is just merino, but a lamb specifically. Merino generally is used to refer to a worsted yarn, making finer knits. But anyway, I wouldn't say their knits are close to ca...
Introducing: The PS Undershirt
March 1st 2023For the past five years or so, I’ve been wearing Hamilton & Hare’s tubular T-shirts under things. They’re what I wear underneath knitwear, what I wear under a shirt, even what I sleep in. They’re the best fine-cotton...

Thanks Nick, but no plans on a multibuy or other colours I'm afraid....
Introducing: The new Reversible Suede Bomber
February 22nd 2023The new version of our reversible suede bomber jacket - reversible so you can turn it inside out at the first hint of rain - is finally here. Much as I liked the previous version, the process of designing the Linen Harrington - essentially from scr...
Introducing: The new Reversible Suede Bomber
Match in comments:
The bomber is cut to be a slightly more relaxed fit, which actually I rather prefer now. I can see how that might feel a little new, but I would fit it could be OK. One thing to consider is the height of your trousers - ...
Tobacco, black and white (some T-shirts in stock)
February 13th 2023You know that feeling when you realise a new purchase unleashes potential in an old, beloved garment? Like getting a yellow oxford and realising it doesn’t just look good with jeans, but also with your favourite herringbone jacket? OK, I&rsquo...
Tobacco, black and white (some T-shirts in stock)
Match in comments:
I don't know any singlets like that I'm afraid. It is possible to lower an armhole, at least on tailoring, but it may be a little harder on that tough material. Nothing will help make the sleeve bigger though...
Drake’s corduroy Mk.I Games Blazer: Review
December 9th 2022This is the Mk.1 Games Blazer from Drake’s in russet corduroy. To be honest, I’ve lost track of the numbers and which style each is, but the important thing is that this one's a fairly regular jacket with notched lapels - not the version...
The steamy social experiment that is a PS party
November 25th 2022I’ve learnt a couple of things about glass-fronted shops recently. One is they magnify heat: even on a cold day, an hour’s worth of afternoon sun heats up the space to an incredible degree. I’ve no idea how this is workable in the...
