Just had a look at Ethan's blog and Instagram. I love his style. Bags of flair and unafraid to try combinations that some might find a little out there - but great to see him experimenting. And he's just 25!...
Wearing red – with L’Etiquette
The fourth issue of L’Etiquette came out last week, and it remains the best menswear magazine in the world for me. (See previous article here for an explanation why.) We’re honoured to be the only website permitted to translate and repub...

Having recently returned from my third visit to Tokyo, I felt it would be good to add the new stores I went to and can recommend to this list. It’s a great city for shopping, particularly in the little quiet streets b...

I lived in Japan for 16 years and found it really, really hard to find clothes that fit. In fact, I generally made my purchases in the States when visiting. And I am not a big person at all by American standards - 6ft ta...
The Armoury tailoring: Ring Jacket, Orazio, Liverano
Given how much readers have liked the posts recently looking at Armoury trousers, and then the Bryceland’s range, I thought a post going through the Armoury’s tailoring would be interesting. If anything this is more needed than the trous...

Several readers commented on the post highlighting pieces from No Man Walks Alone that articles on other shops would be helpful, if objective and analytical. If there’s any area that needs this most, it’s trousers. Once men find a model...

It's probably tightness across the seat and hips Jonny, it usually is with me. But you're right that it's often not a good idea to try and diagnose it yourself - leave it to a good alterations tailor...
Wearing warm and cold colours
Taka from Liverano. Lots of colour and pattern, but overall quite cold Being able to judge the relative formality of an outfit is a key component of dressing well in modern, variable working environments. Many things contribute to this formality: Mo...

Not really a shirt, but with a jacket I do. It's really just a matter of thinking what else (trousers, knits) it will go with, but you could think of it in terms of warm and cool. I don't really think about what's near t...
Ring Jacket, Japan – Factory visit
Given Japan’s reputation for quality and craft - particularly in denim and bespoke menswear - it would be natural to assume its suit manufacturing was of the same level. But until recently, most factories in Japan produced at a fairly low qual...
