Inspiring Japan: The 2023 trip
Last week I was in Japan for 10 days, mainly in Tokyo but also travelling around to Kobe, Osaka and Wakayama prefecture. It was the fourth time I’d been to Japan, but only the third for PS, and one of those had been for only a few days around ...

Tailoring and milsurp: How to dress like Ethan Wong
Like many men that feature in this ‘How to dress like’ series, I find the differences between how I and Ethan Wong dress just as interesting as the similarities. In fact more so. We have similar influences in classic menswear and vint...

Just had a look at Ethan's blog and Instagram. I love his style. Bags of flair and unafraid to try combinations that some might find a little out there - but great to see him experimenting. And he's just 25!...
Wearing red – with L’Etiquette
The fourth issue of L’Etiquette came out last week, and it remains the best menswear magazine in the world for me. (See previous article here for an explanation why.) We’re honoured to be the only website permitted to translate and repub...

The Armoury tailoring: Ring Jacket, Orazio, Liverano
Given how much readers have liked the posts recently looking at Armoury trousers, and then the Bryceland’s range, I thought a post going through the Armoury’s tailoring would be interesting. If anything this is more needed than the trous...

What do you mean by grabby in this instance? I am thinking of potentially sizing down from my normal size for the model 7, so any clarification you can offer would be great...

Several readers commented on the post highlighting pieces from No Man Walks Alone that articles on other shops would be helpful, if objective and analytical. If there’s any area that needs this most, it’s trousers. Once men find a model...

It's probably tightness across the seat and hips Jonny, it usually is with me. But you're right that it's often not a good idea to try and diagnose it yourself - leave it to a good alterations tailor...

I think it's about balance, Ben. It's something that's definitely worth thinking about and bearing in mind, but it's not an absolute. For example, if a brown jacket of yours doesn't seem to work with fairly yellowish bei...
Ring Jacket, Japan – Factory visit
Given Japan’s reputation for quality and craft - particularly in denim and bespoke menswear - it would be natural to assume its suit manufacturing was of the same level. But until recently, most factories in Japan produced at a fairly low qual...
