Each year around this time, I realize that a lot of people I know have a love-hate relationship with the Holidays. We feel like we have just finished summer and enjoyed the first chill days of fall, and suddenly, it is Thanksgiving, and we are trying to quickly get ourselves organized before the end of […]

Our Trademark, A Suit That Fits ®
I think a man wearing a good suit is truly wonderful. Tom Ford describes his personal attire as a form of respect for people around him and shows up as the very best version of himself. It is truly admirable, and a man who takes care of his appearance, no matter at what level, deserves […]
Connected to Menswear
Menswear has always appealed to my designer sensibility and, in particular, the sense of history and tradition that I find an endless font of inspiration, constantly connecting elements with each new season. On a recent trip to London, I was reminded of this when walking through Mayfair and my old haunts with London’s Regency […]
Part of A Happy Life
On the eve of our lapsed Client event, which will take place over the next few weeks, I feel a sense of optimism and opportunity. Reminding clients who already know us about what we offer from a product and service should be pretty effortless and somewhat fun, considering how our product updates each season with […]
A Color Through The Ages
A few days ago, I began wondering why Navy Blue continues to be a preferred color not only with our clients but also within the menswear market. Particularly when compared to black, it outperforms across our many categories from pants to suits and outerwear. Personally, too I find it a constant go-to for every occasion […]
Outerwear Choices
On a recent trip to London and the UK, I was able to fully appreciate the need for having the right outerwear on hand as temps changed from one day to the next with one beautiful brisk morning walking across Hyde Park with temps at around 5° C. I had a Field Jacket in Reda […]
Refined Casual
The new fall collection seems to capture the season so perfectly through coloration, textures, patterns and, indeed, the fabric qualities themselves selected from our mill partners from around the world. Our tailoring and suits, in particular, have stood the test of time and most clients, established or new, find that a custom-made suit is […]
Fall Sweeps In
September has begun, and this month, fall sweeps down upon us unavoidably, with reminders at our local shopping markets and coffee shops, with pots of Mums, pumpkin spice, and Halloween décor eagerly displayed in the premium pick-up spots. Over the last holiday weekend, I traveled to my home here in Connecticut, the place that […]
Two Sides of a New Collection
Being ready for the new season is always exciting, with all the moving parts coming into place and the preparation of months of work in HQ finally coming to fruition. It’s not always smooth, and coordinating all this effort can, at times, be overwhelming, but for our stylists, it is a time to start the […]

Highlighting Stylist Skills
It’s kind of funny how social media is not only listening but seemingly reading our thoughts. I had not but just finished a Tailored Talks session with some guidance to using our options to help our stylists show off their skills to clients, that I saw this on LinkedIn from Katie Cantrill, which I thought […]
