Introduce yourself.

Just your typical mix of Italian and the midwest.

I am the suit specialist at the local Saks Fifth Avenue store.

Suiting is my passion. I love meaning behind it.

I do love Suitsupply suits. I have quite a few pieces from the Jort collection.

I love whites and blues together, especially with stripes.

Hi there, I'm a frequent shopper at Saks in Beverly Hills. Would you mind emailing me offline, perhaps you'd be okay with working remotely as a stylist? Happy to have you aboard!

Hello everyone, It is a pleasure to be joining you all on this forum. I have been following styleforum for many years because of my excessive obsession with classic leather shoes, which has now developed into a passion for classic menswear in general. I have learnt many things on this forum and felt that it was time for me to start contributing as well as to share useful info with the community as well

Hello everyone !

I'm a 32 year old man from Chartres, France. I'm an Italian style lover (mostly Napolitan) for spring and summer and I switch to more of an English style when the temperature cools down.

I've known this forum by reading Hugo Jacomet's book Italian Gentleman in which he says that this forum is a true mine of information. So I'm looking forward to learn a lot !

Regards.

Hi

Very new here. I am from and live in the Caribbean. Love the idea of being well-dressed. Love the Italian style but find something attractive about the English style too. Owner of an IT Integration business and Engineer thus an Occupational Bias, toward getting the best bang for my (hard earned) bucks. I am thus always looking for maximizing my investment and have had to set some price ceilings ...
Learning a lot already.
Glad to be here.

A lurker from the UK. Into classic/vintage motorcycles and anything that looks good on or near them.

I'm keen on Belstaff and was hoping for some advice on leather jacket care. I've googled it and there's so much conflicting advice, it's no help.

Cheers.

Hugo is a class act. He's insightful and suave without being pretentious. Everyone on the forum should become acquainted with Hugo Jacomet. Welcome to the forum!

How can we help? Do you have any specific questions regarding leather care?

Hi! I was just looking for some advice about what people recommend for the care of my Belstaff Cougar. Its antique cuero in colour. Its a Malenotti era one.

The leather feels fantastic but it could be a bit more supple.

I've used mink oil on old motorcycle gloves in the past but found that after a week or so, theyre back to how they were before.

Thanks

Use a leather conditioner, not polish. Oil tends to darken leather unevenly. I wouldn't use oil unless it's a burnished effect that you're going for or recommended by the manufacturer. Pour some of the conditioner onto a clean cotton cloth. Don't drench, dab and cover all areas of the jacket using a circling motion. Make sure to allow some of the conditioner to seep into the seams or where there's stitching. Wipe off the conditioner and jacket with a clean dry cloth and repeat the steps. Finish by using a clean soft brush, the same kind that's used for buffing shoes. Leather conditioner will lubricate, clean as well giving a soft, not glossy shine to your jacket.
