That db looks really nice, will have to steal next time I'm in Stockholm. But what's up with the pocket placement? Looks really high.

And that fitting with Kotaro is a navy... something?

haha. Nothing I have thought about, maybe exaggerated because of the pose. Feels correct when wearing. The Kotaro pic is a blue/grey sharkskin suit from Holland & Sherry. I also had a fitting for a pair of grey/brown odd trousers. No pics unfortunately!

I can't say exactly why green is becoming a hot colour, but it seems that some menswear bloggers have predicted it as being such.

Can't provide any links to prove this. I just remember reading it somewhere.


Well, few offices these days have strict dress codes for lounge suits only. Some of us don't like the idea of working in khakis and collar shirts only, so the next best thing after dark suitings are tailored clothes made from cloths that were country or leisure materials back in the days. Tweeds, moleskins, thornproofs, multi-coloureds, large-scale checks -- and alternative colours. I, for one, welcome our new green additions. They can be used in many offices but also double well in off-time, and we have too few green clothes on the streets these days.

I trace the green boom to my tweed sport coat from 5 yrs ago and linen blend one from 3 yrs ago.

Thought i'd share this navy three-piece from Tailorable. Turned out great. The pants are not as narrow as they seem.

Paired with a pair of two-tone Saint Crispins, Tailorable shirt and Sartoria Corcos tie:
