Outfits at sea
There are only few other places where one has as much time to think about one’s clothing choices as on a cruise. Aboard a ship you relax and have time to think about your outfit. Additionally, one will always meet the same people which makes you want to change your outfit even more frequently.
Style in Cuba
Cuba‘s capital – Havana – is full of impressions. Although it feels like you traveled in a time machine to the year 1960, and many buildings and roads are in desperate need of restoration, this city is overwhelmingly charming.
Hatmaker Beermann – Master of the hats since 1856
In case you ever make it to Hamburg, Germany, you should definitely pay a visit to Hutatelier Beermann at Wandsbeker Marktstraße 18. Although the storefront is quite unimposing and located next to a tanning salon, it is certainly worth finding. Once inside the narrow entrance, you have to walk through a narrow aisle until you reach some stairs which will bring you right into Hutatelier Beermann – a marvelous hat store with about 20,000 hats exhibited on 3800 square feet!

Bespoke – The Men’s Style of Savile Row – new book
James Sherwood, the curator of the Savile Row exhibition The London Cut who is also well known as BBC’s fashion observer at Royal Ascot, has written another book. Titled Bespoke – The Men’s Style of Savile Row, Sherwood portraits 26 Savile Row bespoke tailors ranging from well renowned tailoring houses like Henry Poole and Anderson & Sheppard to more recent establishments like Ozwald Boateng.
Featuring Drape
Even today, the English Drape cut is a highly discussed silhouette. While some gentleman praise the comfort and ease of movement of the drape cut and thus swear by it, others detest its silhouette, much preferring a “clean” line.
