The Artemis II mission reminds me of these 1960s photos of NASA astronauts training in Iceland because they felt the terrain would be similar to what they'd encounter on the moon. The outfits are so great, even some 60 years later.

I like how A Kind of Guise shoots their lookbooks in a new country every season. The photos have a National Geographic quality to them. Countries pictured here: Kenya, Mongolia, Albania, and Peru.

the new lookbook from A Kind of Guise is bonkers good

@Paul_Millard68 Do you believe in religious tolerance or is it just the location of the praying you have a problem with?

[Mr Simon Kenworthy @MrSimonK]

@Dr_Scissorhands @PartisanGay They’re literally outside a full mosque, I know this place well on Caledonian road, it gets very busy at prayer time, the road itself is very quiet for pedestrian traffic and it lasts about 5 minutes. Mountain, meet molehill.

@MortimerleePaul @dieworkwear But do you not agree that shape, drape and detailing have been present in how many dress until recently? Even your example of a Togo had these elements. Even Elizabethan men in linen shirt and breeches had shape, drape and detail - you don’t have to copy these outfits verbatim

@scotsmancrypto @LBC If you believe the numbers on net migration then it’s simple math. If we believe, hypothetically, that 100,000 people arrived in this country through regular or irregular means, we know who were the regular ones and if that is 96,000 people then 4,000 (or 4%) must be irregular

Pretty cool to see Will Smith wear a vintage Universal Genève Polerouter (reference S 20217-5). The watch was purchased from Eric Wind at Wind Vintage. The purchase seems to have been organic, not organized by Breitling.

I agree. I mostly think the difference is generational. Although I wasn't alive in the 1950s, I admit that my taste runs "old." 🧵

Clothes have long been political. 🧵

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

look how much better raincoats look when they're big and full and come down to your knees so they have enough room to form a silhouette and don't just look like sausage casing on your body

Let's talk about minimalism as an aesthetic in menswear. 🧵

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

I once had dinner with @shoesbynoonoo, who I think is one of the best bespoke shoemakers in the world. Bespoke is a hard business because it takes time to make anything right, so you can only make so many pairs of shoes (or suits) in a year. This makes it hard to scale, and thus limits a craftsperson's income.

I suggested to him that he make an accompanying line of ready-made shoes and accessories, such as ties and scarves and keychains, which are easier to scale. His bespoke service could then be a halo for what could be a more profitable side of his business.

He politely brushed the suggestion aside and said he's content with his current business making ~30 pairs of shoes a year. If he can build it up to 50, then he'll be maxed out. "I just want to make shoes and have time to ride my motorcycle," he told me.

To me, this is very refreshing. In my time writing about menswear, i've found it much more enjoyable to talk to tailors, shoemakers, and craftspeople who are passionate about their work because they can tell you the intricacies of how something is made. They also take pride in their craft, which to me is the best guarantee of quality.

There are many good people on the business side of things. But I find it noxious when someone is only concerned about making money. Once talked to the owner of a MTM tailoring company who barely cared how things were made. He only saw people in terms how they could help grow his business.
