During my dissertation research I've looked at bespoke tailoring, embossing, personalisation etc and then the type of brand that usually comes hand in hand with that, so heritage brands with traditional and classic shapes and fabrics. Although this is a little bit American Ivy elite styling the attention to detail is comparable with that of British bespoke tailoring. Also, Thom Browne won WGSN's Most Influential Designer in Menswear award last year, so I personally think that speaks volumes.
I love the tabs on backs of shoes and blazers, to the strips inside of cuffs on suit jackets and shirts, watch straps, cardigans and tie clips. The red, white and blue stripes set a more exciting tone to suiting. It's great.
I would quite like the trousers above.
The above book cover image was taken from somuchtotellyou.co.nz, and I sort of linked the two up as their post on preppy style reminded me of the Thom Browne images. I think I might have to get this book, sometimes I sort of forget how interested in certain things I am.
