We have the model Rivoli from Simonnot-Godard back in stock. These generous sized handkerchiefs are made from 200’s long staple cotton and contain fine satin stripes.
Classic DB in the making
Double breasted suits are a rare sight in Copenhagen. I have decided to do something about it, since they flatter lots of men, especially lean and tall men, and we have quite a few of those creatures in Copenhagen.
The double breasted in the photo is a solid grey worsted from Dugdale’s Royal Classic range. I am having it made up by an Italian tailor.

A visit to bespoke shirtmaker Leonardo Bugelli
On Via Fra’ Bartolomeo, just outside Florence’ old city center, you’ll find Leonardo Bugelli, a genuine bespoke shirtmaker. He makes shirts the traditional way creating a trial shirt for a fitting, before he makes the first real shirt for the customer.
Like most bespoke shirtmakers today, he prefers to machinesew his shirts. However, his seamstress attaches the buttons by hand. Pattern matching looks very exact compared to his English counterparts.
Among other things, we talked about Giancarlo Bonfanti’s shirting. Bonfanti’s old looms gives his cloth a lot of character, Leonardo Bugelli told me.

Weekend dress
I do enjoy tweed and corduroy, and I am looking forward to fall and winter just to wear these cloths, mostly during weekends. The jacket is made from one of the first London Lounge gun clubs, and the trousers are cut from heavy British corduroy.

Bespoke raglan
Winter hasn’t arrived yet to Denmark but it is time to pull out the winter wardrobe. One garment I am looking very much to forward to see again is my bespoke raglan coat made from 27 oz. tweed.
Traditionally, the raglan was a casual coat for the weekend or country. Nowadays it may cover a winter business suit too. Maybe not in London’s West End, but definitely in Copenhagen.
