@tenantrep1 @Rainmaker1973 Like suits, they’re a derivation from military dress. The French popularised them after seeing Croatian soldiers wearing a price of fabric tied around their neck. So they named it after them - Cravat (Croat).
@waitbutwhy Fashion is generally a rolling dumpster fire. Style isn’t, though. It has first principles, which are just pattern, texture, colour and proportion. Once you understand the basics of those 4 things, you can dress well for life, regardless of what fashion is doing.
If you’ve been wondering what 50kg of Vicuña in cardboard boxes looks like, then I have good news for you. The least glamorous, but most important image I’ve posted & what a significant part of the last 3+ years of my life has been spent working towards @meglukensnoonan #vicuna
I get such pleasure from my @saintcrispins every time I get to put them on. Fast fashion completely misses the joy which comes from choosing quality clothing which only gets better with age and lasts a lifetime. #saintcrispins#bespokeshoes

@dieworkwear Try my process:
Monday: Ok, article needs to be ready by Friday. This’ll be a good one.
Wednesday: Right, today’s the day!
Friday: It’s cool, I have time this afternoon.
Following Wednesday: OK, shit, *this* Friday.
1 year later: Didn’t I used to have a blog or something?
