Another excellent article by our friend Bruce Boyer over at Parisian Gentleman. Made me actually excited to finally take out my fall tailoring from the closet. Do you guys have a grey flannel suit in your rotation? What is your preffered way to wear it?

In our new series of articles, we look at the mesmerizing style of one of the most stylish men ever: Mr. Fred Astaire. More precisely, his personal looks worn outside the screen, full of personal idiosyncrasies and inspiration.

Read the full article on our blog.

Hey Mark, you have great offerings. Also like the quality of the close-up fabric pics on the site.

Quick question on the SC suits. Are the shoulder extended?

This suit for example has an 18.75' shoulder on a 38R, which seems closer to a 42:

Great to hear @othertravel.

I wouldn't call the shoulders on the SC suits extended. The case is that they have a very thin shoulder pad with some rope to the end, which makes them a bit wider than the unconstructed shoulders, which are prevalent these days. If you find the chest size good compared to the jackets you have in your wardrobe, i wouldn't worry about the shoulders being too big. I've tried all the styles we have, the fit was true to size and the fit is amazing. I hope this helps, if you have more questions don't hesitate to ask!

This time presents the best opportunity to wear a nice woolen sportcoat with denim, therefore I thought I'll reshare the article we wrote a while ago about the subject.
What's your favorite type of jacket to wear with denim?

Nice. I'm wearing exactly this type of combo today. Brown Cashmere cinnamon melange Kiton SB sportcoat, Attolini checked shirt, Attolini lightweight "denim" jeans, double-monks from Carlos Santos.

Which jeans are you currently stocking in darker clean denim that will pair well with casual tailoring?

Flannel season is officially here. Leave it to our friend and collaborator @Robs89 to show how to start it in style. He rocks his chocolate brown pinstripe flannel D'avenza suit like there is no tomorrow. :) I would be cold in invisible socks, though. :)

An absolute beauty from our private collection. Bespoke cashmere-vicuña polo coat, made by the legendary tailoring house A. Caraceni. Probably the most beautiful piece of clothing I ever seen.

The perfect day suit for winter. The character of this lambswool/cashmere flannel chalkstripe just goes so well with the softness and roundness of Attolini tailoring.
