Cold is coming, right now. Loafers and espadrillas are no more top of mind when I figure out the shoes I’ll wear tomorrow.
I need brand new clothes, this is the first row, just two driver, comfort and blue/grey colors.

Sailing season is already begun. It’s not so easy arrange a crew to pick a boat and spend a weekend on the sea. Now is the good season and is time to go. Continue reading
Back to fabrics
I was been away for a while, too busy and too lazy.
Now is time to come back, just in english and starting frome the basics: fabrics.
Loro Piana is the best luxury fabrics producer in the world, it produces the best wool, the best cachemire and is the main Vicuna producer (they saved Viquna from extintion involving local people and Peruvian government in the ’90)
I bought a suit for my sister wedding three years ago, I wanted something blue, a pinstripe suit, but not the usual pinstripe, I wanted something more, the stripes had to be made not with a different color but with same main suit color. The stripes had to come out by the way the fabric was made.
It took three weeks to find the right one, a Loro Piana Suit, a Zelander light wool. A perfect slim fit and the lightest and confortable fabric I have ever wore.

Dark colors
Dark-colors doesn’t mean just black or grey. Green could be a great choice.
Indossare colori scuri non significa solo vestire di nero o grigio. Il verde puo essere una soluzione perfetta
Weekend bag for a sunny weekend
The weekend starts on friday afternoon?
For today I say yes. A sweater, a pair of shoes, polo and shirt. This will be enough for light weight bag and sunny weekend
E’ vero che il wek end inizia il venerdì pomeriggio?
Oggi dico di sì. In primavera servono davvero poche cose, un maglioncino, una polo, una camicia e un paio di scarpe. Viaggare leggeri è il milgior modo per godersi un weekend di primavera.
A flood of Brogues: men’s trend 2012
Brogue goes mainstream? Even more people are wearing those kind of shoes and soon we will see them in Zara or H&M shops, in various colours and shapes.
Excellence never comes cheap. Could one of the main style detail become mainstream? Is the Style a right just for the well known inner circle? Will you wear the same shoes that everybody around you are wearing? Do you fear to fade in to the mass? Probably the brogue shoes will follow the same path of “cerulean blue” in “Devil wears Prada” movie, they will be replaced by other models that sooner or later will turn in the loop of the large retailers. There is nothing to fear.
