    Sukajan, a cultural history of the souvenir jacket

    Sukajan, a cultural history of the souvenir jacket Souvenir Jackets or more famously known as the "Sukajan" (Skajang/Skajan) trace their roots during the World War II when the American troops stationed in the Pacific have wanted to have some "memories" or souvenirs of their foreign assignments to bring back home to mainland. It has sort of become a solidarity uniform or remembrance of their posts and service in the war and their comrades with whom they have spent some of the bravest time of their lives. It is said to have originated from Yokusuka in Kanagawa Prefecture where its name is thought to have come from - "Suka" from Yokosuka and "Jan" from the Japanese term Jumper or ジャンパー or jacket in layman's term. The famous

    Marco Cerrato and the bespoke trousers handmade in Napoli

    Quartieri Spagnoli is a place you won’t know unless you stop here, in the centre of Naples. It’s more likely to be part of a different world. You get impressed enough to think that everything keeps going following rules unknown to foreigners or strangers. There’s also a clock which stood still and you must look at it to get what time means. An imaginary line marks the end of the world I belong. I’m here and from now on I will follow those rules: Firstly, I must ask for permission. Secondly, I mustn’t speak. There’s no words I’m going to whisper: silence is the secret to forget clichés which undermined the dignity of a city whose beauty still resist despite all. You won’t think

    A. Caraceni, five generation of tailors

    Milanese tailoring To appreciate fine Milanese tailoring is not to notice it at all. Following the contours of the body with exacting precision, the best Italian suits allow you to move freely and comfortably. The only thing that might make you feel uncomfortable will be all the eyes on you. If you're an Agnelli, a Hollywood scion, European royalty or merely wanting to pass as one, this is the place for you. A.Caraceni doesn't make customers pass an entrance examination, but it could. Discreetly located on the first floor of a building near Milan's fashionable Quadrilatero d'Oro, the tailor is often called a club. "My clients will be visiting from New York, London, Paris, and will bump into each other and then go out for lunch," says Carlo Andreacchio,

    An Introduction to the Savile Row bespoke tailoring style

    An Introduction to the Savile Row Style Savile Row has been the home of bespoke tailoring for over 200 years and although over the decades we have seen it boom and struggle, it still remains the most important place for tailoring history. Its heritage can date back to as early as the 1600s when the tailors began to take up residence along the Row creating the birthplace of the sartorial heritage. On one end of Savile Row you have the traditional and more historic tailors such as Gieves and Hawkes, Kilgour and Huntsman. Their history dates back over centuries with the example of Gieves and Hawkes who were founded as two separate companies with Gieves in 1784 and Hawkes in 1771 (they went on to merge together

    The iconic Barbour Waxed Jacket for outdoor and country

    A man lives for emotions. They are a source of inspiration but we rarely live them out fully. They help us evolve, encouraging success though we run up against problems which often cause us to fail. We experience music, art and literature through our five senses. But it would be good to use them to open up new horizons and your wardrobe shutter as well. Undoubtedly what we wear is a reflection of how we feel. That’s why sight and touch get satisfaction in smoothness or in those colours, shapes and wefts we choose as they say a lot about us. But there is a clothing item exalting a third sense. It’s an unmistakable sense that many love and many hate (girlfriends and wives, they actually do) It
