Green corduroy and Tweed

The jacket's collar does fit pretty good.
But doing a picture with cam in hand ruins the fit.

On the street: Tweed and chinos.

What a lunch break. Met 3 welldressed gentleman and our wellknown style guru Spoozy of Kleidsam.

Do you like Tweed?

Well, today my job forced me to spend my lunch break at my desk (no Düsseldorf pics at all), so I'll provide you with some stuff I found on the net.

What I really dig, when it comes down to true outdoor country clothing, is Tweed. I first noticed Tweed suits in Roetzel's book "The Gentleman" like 2 decades ago at the age of 20 (or was it in an old Barbour catalogue?) and thought about how I'd look in it when I had the age to wear it (I used to wear skatewear these days).

Nowadays I own only 1 (what I do call a real) Tweed jacket and really do think about buying a three piece suit.

So today I found this amazing page: Bookster of UK offers a large range of standard and bespoke suits, waistcoats, trousers, caps, etc.
It's pretty amazing, how many different options you have to personalize your jacket or whatever.

So, what do you think?

What about the black bar? I don't like the look of my eyes on this one.

My wife doesn't like that I do blog myself but it's ok for me :-)

Nice weekend

Store check: Uwe van Afferden

I noticed this shop in the latest issue of GQ, so I wanted to check it out by myself.

Located on Lorettostraße, this "concept store" is a fusion of fashion, illustrations, art, interieur, etc.

By the way: Uwe van Afferden offers his own Tweed collection.

Please see for yourself:
