The winged puff. One of my new favourite folds, it so simple to do, but looks really neat and fancy. Hope the tutorial below helps show how easy it is. The pocket square being used here is by Heywood 1922 and is called Clarence's hank Okay. Stay fancy.
Gingham - Know your patterns
This is my favourite pattern. In fact given the amount of times I've worn it, it's surprising I took so long to do this post. Gingham originates from Malaysia, where it was actually a striped pattern rather than a check. The check pattern of todays gingham started being produced around the the mid 18th Century … Continue reading Gingham - Know your patterns
Navy gingham and green
I may have to call this summer, my green pants period. I now counted no less than 4 pairs of different green pants in my closet. Different shades and fits, but still? That's a lot of green.

So they did one better, they created a range of mens accessories called Heywood1922, Heywood … Continue reading Not your Grandfathers bow tie

Anyway … Continue reading Gingham, Green and Oxfords
#Fancy Friday - Blue and red details
So, realized today that we've never explained what #FancyFriday is on this blog. Simply put we thought that there is no place in this world for casual friday. People have gotten far to casual as it is and to be honest, it's a slippery slope we're trying to stop. So we created #FancyFriday where we … Continue reading #Fancy Friday - Blue and red details
