Care
3 записи
01
Shoe trees
A shoe tree is a close-fitting cedar insert that keeps a shoe in shape and soaks up foot moisture, making it the cheapest way to extend a good shoe's life.
02
Shoe care
Good shoes can last twenty years if you use shoe trees, rest them between wearings, apply cream and wax, and resole them before the sole wears through.
03
Caring for tailoring
A wool suit stays clean with regular brushing and airing, and dry cleaning it only rarely keeps its natural oils and helps it last far longer.

01
The necktie
A good tie is cut diagonally across the silk and folded around a wool lining, which helps it knot cleanly and hang straight without twisting.
02
The bow tie
A bow tie you tie yourself sits slightly lopsided and at a small angle, which looks right in a way a pre-tied one never does.
03
The pocket square
A pocket square is decorative cloth for your breast pocket, and hand-rolled edges give it body to hold a fold instead of collapsing.
04
Scarves
A scarf is best in cashmere for light warmth, wool for durability or silk for evening and wind, and its width decides whether it knots or drapes.
Small Leather

01
The belt
A good dress belt is one solid piece of leather that matches your shoes, narrow with a suit and wider with casual trousers.
02
Braces
Braces hold trousers up from the shoulders instead of squeezing the waist, and they are why mid-century trousers hang the way they do.
03
Side adjusters
Side adjusters are small buckled or buttoned tabs at each hip that tighten trousers without a belt, keeping the waist smooth under a jacket.
04
Cufflinks
Cufflinks fasten a double or French cuff, which has no buttons, and for most men they are the only jewellery they own.
05
Socks
Over-the-calf socks stay up and cover your leg when you sit, unlike mid-calf ones, while cotton or merino wool keeps them comfortable.
06
The umbrella
A traditional umbrella built on a single solid stick can last for decades, while a folding umbrella is easier to carry but tends to break at the joints.
