A Kind of Guise [S], The North Face, Stüssy, London Sock Co. & Scarpe di Bianco

LUXURY
Germany Stand UP

The Jona Jacket shows that Germans can make more than cars and chemicals. We’ve got a knitted standing collar and practical patch pockets crafted from premium Italian wool and cashmere, not to mention its luxurious Steiff lining to ensure warmth. It doesn’t hurt that this item is currently 57% off either… A Kind of Guise, a German brand known for timeless design and high-quality fabrics, offers a versatile range of menswear and accessories manufactured in Germany and Italy. They just released a new collection, but also have a well-stocked clearance section.

WORKWEAR
Northface Urban Exploration

The North Face is synonymous with durability and performance whether you're on the slopes or the streets. Their Urban Exploration collection for Spring/Summer strikes the right balance between functionality and style, drawing on their outdoor expertise. From versatile shirts to statement outerwear, this collection offers comfort, protection, and a sleek silhouette for the modern explorer. Reach out to me if you need to find a US retailer.

STREETWEAR
An Elegant Mid-layer

In the name of affordability in an otherwise expensive installation, check out this Stüssy midweight sweater. A classic fit with a mock neck collar, half zip closure, and a stylish chest pocket featuring the iconic Stüssy "S" embroidery, this piece boasts quality details like a high neck design, zippers, ribbed cuffs, and a zipped welt pocket. Made with recycled polyester, acrylic, and nylon, this sweater combines style with affordability for a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

FORMAL WEAR
Down to the Socks

If you’re looking to upgrade your sock drawer (yes I know that’s a big if), this 15-Pair Box is a curated selection of sophisticated dress socks in classic hues and patterns. Crafted from a premium stretch-fit cotton blend, these mid-calf socks offer comfort and continuity. The London Sock Company is going nose-down in a niche market, but save the tab for the next time you’re upset about the depth of your sock bag.

OFFICE WEAR
Cheeky-Niche Leather Sneaker

WFH has let us break the chains of truly formal leather shoes, but we should still be wearing leather. Let me introduce you to the Imola men’s dress sneaker by Di Bianco - a blend of style and craftsmanship. These sneakers, made in Italy, offer both sophistication and comfort. The distinctive brown trim exudes elegance with a lightweight, flexible sole. Embodying a legacy of artisanal excellence, each Scarpe di Bianco shoe is a unique ode to luxury and individuality, perfect for the discerning man who appreciates quality and style. Your girlfriend/wife would probably mess with these on date night, too. Two birds.

ONE LAST THING….
S/O Cillian!!!

Ireland’s own Tommy Shelby has won the most vaunted award an actor can ever ask for: Best Actor at the Academy Awards. Raise a glass, folks — ideally a Guinness pint glass.
