Mr. Beppe Modenese.

Men, if informed, are capable of aging well, and simultaneously using age to an advantage. For me the older a man gets the smarter and more sartorial his look should be. As the uglier sex of the human race, this can work to our advantage since we can take time to grow into our faces. 

Mr. Beppe Modenese is another fine example of this. The epitome of a Gentleman and how we should all aspire to be. Fine tailoring and the good life that comes from his affiliation with the fashion industry (PR etc.).

Suit supply.

I have been meaning to bring this latest US export to your attention for a while, having come across its store in a London back street. It's spring/summer '12 collection above is absolutely bang on in terms of palette, cut, and combination. One button, two button, and double breasted jackets, mix and match (jacket and trousers), loafers, and attention to detail. Fine, custom fitted tailoring at affordable prices. You are going to thank me for this find.

Thom Browne NY takeover.

Thom Browne NY typifies the drive for 'uniformality' in Menswear. With each uniform comes a trademark; Thom Browne's is the red blue and white stripe. Tailoring at it's finest, and again Nick Wooster is fully involved; the man can do no wrong.
