I know I spend too much time looking at clothes I want, and not enough at ways to wear the ones I have. There are many reasons for this. There’s the familiar retail fix, the fact I wear a range of styles, the fact that I can afford them (and ...

Luxury chore coats compared
By Manish Puri Not all chores are made equal. Some take longer, some require more exertion, and some involve going out into the cold. On a typical weekend you’ll find me frantically searching for loopholes in the chivalric code so I can cherry...

Hey BC, Yes the Lazyman would work, though I found them a little short. This is an area we covered quite a lot last year - we did a piece here on all the options, and then covered Tebas, chores etc separately. There are ...

Thank you, Simon, for replying. You are right, my mid-weight linen trousers rumple rather than crumple, and it will take a lot while before they crumble. I have a great affinity for linen clothes, and would love to try t...
Hand-dyed Mandarin jacket from Prologue
In the past five years, it feels like everyone has started doing some kind of shirt-jacket. It was a natural extension of the soft tailoring trend, perhaps, and it certainly gained traction when shirtmakers realised they could offer this too - a we...

I think the jacket is better with things like tailored trousers, myself. I'm not sure I'd wear it with jeans much. It is a very specific style Amit...

Prologue semi-bespoke summer jacket: Review
This is the summer jacket that Hong Kong outfit Prologue have been making for me over the past six months. It is finally ready, with two fittings, and I think the result is great. It’s not perfect, but the fit is good and the work solid too. I...

The pop-up, the goods, and the opening party
Personally, the best part of yesterday’s opening party was about half an hour before, when Graham of Optimo hats (below) told me how well the first two days had gone for him. ‘Really exceeded expectations’ were the words he used. I...

Hi Jacob, I would ignore Dream Bespoke and Raja Fashion. On the other two, WW Chan is a great tailor, with history and a good pedigree. The Anthology is a younger outfit, but also high quality. I'd recommend both...
Prologue: China-made sartorial-style tailoring
One of the most interesting things about the growth in tailoring in recent years has been the way models have changed, split or evolved. We have bespoke suits being cut in London but made in India (eg Whitcomb & Shaftesbury); we have tailors...

Hong Kong: A sartorial shopping guide
Hong Kong has long been a centre for international commerce, driven by its location as a port and later by its strategic importance to the British Empire. When it was handed back to China in 1997, the city retained its vibrancy and international fl...
