Great use of simple, earthy, colour palette.
A gentle conversation

Photo – Ralph Lauren?
I do my best to credit images to sites that I source them from, however, this isn’t always possible. Something about this photo is so Ralph Lauren though. Agree?
Photo – Nickelson Wooster does summer
Nickelson Wooster does a good casual summer look. Would have been even better if he swapped out the black belt/shoes for brown.
Photo – polka dot scarf
Good example of how a well chosen accessory, in this case the scarf, can pull a look together.

Interview with Gianluca Migliarotti: Director of O’Mast
Derek over at Put This On interviews Gianluca Migliarotti, the director of the much anticipated O’Mast, a documentary on tailoring in Napoli. Click on the link below to read the full interview.
In the world of classic men’s style, Naples holds a prominence that is only rivaled by London. The city is located in the South of Italy, situated on the country’s west coast by the gulf. It’s beautiful, energetic, and creative, always bustling with a nonstop tempo. Mark Twain once wrote of it: “It is Broadway repeated in every street, in every court, in every alley! Such masses, such throngs, such multitudes of hurrying, bustling, struggling humanity! We never saw the like of it, hardly even in New York.”
Matt (Mafoo from SF) visits Napoli and tie maker EG Capelli
Great report by Matt about his recent bespoke pilgrimage to Naples and came back with amazing stories. Here the legendary tie maker E. & G. Capelli.
So, without any further ado, click forth and enjoy!
Thanks Matt & aneapolitandream
Orange on purple
Great to see a breakaway from the typical colours worn by most (including myself) and I think the tie in raw silk looks great. Pick stitching on the jacket is a bit over the top for my tastes but each to his own…

Casual but very stylish

Gaziano & Girling bespoke chelseas
Someone on another blog thought that the boots below ruined the overall look. I disagree. I happen to be a big fan of the chelsea boot coupled with a suit and for some reason I think it is a very Aussie look, maybe because of the predominance of RM Williams chelsea boots.

Crockett & Jones Woven Chukka Boot
Sweet pair of woven chukka boots by C&J – I think I can squeeze into a 7.5!
Sometimes we just feel like this whole shoe imbroglio is ephiphenomenal. Will Self knows what we’re talking about. If you can draw your eyes from reblogged pictures of the new shoe du jour, we’d like to point you to a pair of chukka boots that should pique your interest. If you know about shoes you know about Crockett & Jones and if you know about Crockett & Jones you’ll know these are a special pair of shoes. They’re only available in a size 7 & 7.5 but it’s your lucky day if you have Arshavin sized feet. (A fine pair of shoes)

The craft behind Persol – Part I
This is translated from a Swedish source and the translation leaves a little to be desired, but still a great series of pics behind some of the worlds most loved sunglasses.
Glasses are by no means a simple matter of design. Behind the real quality of arcs is a precise and time-consuming craft. The photo project Persol Magnificent Obsessions, which in summer will be exhibited in New York, Milan and Paris shows, the Italian eyewear responsible for the manufacturing machine up the process behind their legendary sunglasses
iqfashion: Brunello Cucinelli
I love pocket squares where the pattern runs all the way to the edge. Don’t ask me why, I just do.
