  • So @afterthesuit and I inadvertently played wardrobe freaky Friday today. If you caught his post he’s wearing a sportcoat, denim, and no tie👌🏻. I was actually inspired by my own flat lay and grabbed flannel trousers and even a tie 🤷🏼‍♂️. Strange, maybe it’s a full moon 🌝 . @spiermackay @hardyminnis tobacco fresco jacket and denim shirt, @drakesdiary pocket square via @nomanwalksalone, and @rampleyandco pocket square. . . . #spierandmackay #drakeslondon #nomanwalksalone #rampleyandco #rakish #rakishgent #gentlemenstyle #classicmenswear #stylishmen #menstailoring #stylishgent #sartorial #madetobeworn #styleforum #dandystyle #mnswr #ptoman #mensweardaily #menswearblog #mensjackets #dapper #dappered #sprezzatura #yycstyle #yyc #stylish #fashion #menstyle

  • Battle of the recent fits ⚔️. I feel like it’s casual jackets vs sportcoats. Which side are you taking? . 1️⃣: @epaulet corduroy Doyle and @wilhelmclothes denim, @spiermackay polo, and @hm_man shawl cardigan 2️⃣: @spiermackay shirt and @e.thomas1922 slub sportcoat, @drakesdiary pocket square, and @japanbluejeans denim 3️⃣: @spiermackay polo and moleskin sportcoat, @orslow denim, @allenedmonds belt, @kent.wang pocket square 4️⃣: @privatewhitevc moleskin bomber, @spiermackay polo and @japanbluejeans denim. . . . #epaulet #epauletcontest #spierandmackay #privatewhitevc #kentwang #orslow #japanblue #rakish #rakishgent #gentlemenstyle #classicmenswear #stylishmen #menstailoring #stylishgent #sartorial #madetobeworn #styleforum #dandystyle #mnswr #ptoman #mensweardaily #menswearblog #mensjackets #dapper #dappered #sprezzatura #style #stylish #fashion #menstyle
  • Review time, gather ‘round! 👞 . Please give a read below on my first impressions of the Henry loafer from @cobblerunion. They were kind enough to send me this pair for free in exchange for my honest feedback. . The Henry loafers looked great out of the box, no scuffs or marks from rolling around in shipping. Stitching was clean all around the shoe apart from one small section on the welt where the stitch gets a bit close to the edge, nothing major. I really like the last and split toe style of the Henry. Another cool thing is the signature red quilted heel cushion; it’s visually stunning and gives the shoe instant brand recognition without actually slapping a logo on it. . The grain leather itself is rugged yet refined. Though it is a pebble grain it is not as heavily embossed as I have seen from other makers, and I appreciate the subdued look. After a couple wears the leather is supple enough that it is breaking in quickly and starting to roll, they are going to look great as they continue to wear. The only thing I noticed with them is an ever so subtle shade difference between the left and right foot. This is probably indistinguishable to any normal person 😂. They have to be right next to each other to even have a shot at spotting it but the left shoe leans more brown and the right has a bit more orange undertone to it. Once I am wearing them I do not even notice though. . On sizing, I followed the advice on the site to size down a half from normal UK and they fit me really well. They were comfortable straight out of the box with no heel slippage. . I am a big fan of these loafers and they will be a staple in my rotation this fall. I am really looking forward to breaking them out along side some tweed sport coats. The Henry loafer is a true three-season piece of footwear and hits the right sweet spot for me . Let me know what you think of them in the comments! 🙌🏻 . . . #sponsored #cobberunion #burzanhands #coverbookstyle #dailylast #goodyearwelt #rakish #rakishgent #classicmenswear #stylishmen #menstailoring #stylishgent #madetobeworn #styleforum #shoegazingblog #mnswr #shoeshine #shineyourshoes #shoegazing #ptoman

  • #sundayinspiration from @mrporterlive and photograph by @aks. I have no idea the maker of the jacket in this photo but it’s perfect looking from this small peek at it. If anyone can identify it, let me know. . How do you guys like balmacaan jackets? they are pretty much top of my list right now for outerwear. If you have any other suggestions on brands to check out that may have one this year, let me know in the comments. . . . #mrporter #gentlemenslounge #styleformen #simplefits #dappermen #gqstyle #gentlemenstyle #gents #classicstyle #dapperman #dapperlydone #gqmagazine #gqinsider #mensoutfit #classymen #gentslounge #gentlemansclub #gentstyle #mensfashions #menwithclass #outfitinspiration #ootdmen #mensclothing #outfitideas #sprezz #menslook #mensstyleguide #tailored #mnswrmagazine
