Discover your menswear style! Begin
1. How are you most likely to spend your day? Focused on my laptop or desktop with my smartphone always nearby. Exploring new neighbourhoods for hidden gems, craft breweries, and local eats. When I have downtime, I catch up on the latest trends in my field at my local coffee shop. Riding around on my motorcycle sounds perfect.
2. How long does it take you to get ready to leave the house? Less than 10 minutes. I throw on my staple garments and don’t look back. About an hour. Every wardrobe piece is carefully considered in order to turn heads, and I often plan the night before. 45 minutes. I start with one piece that inspires me and build around it. Close to 30 minutes. It doesn’t take long to be comfortable while still looking sleek.
3. What are your hobbies? Exploring new restaurants, travelling, wine tours and golfing Surfing social media platforms, listening to podcasts and the occasional video game Catching up on world events, planning my next conference or vacation, and building my wine collection Getting outside! Hiking or riding my bike, and finding that ever-elusive classic vinyl album
4. If you were a vehicle, which would you be? A clean and classic Toyota Camry, point A to point B is all I need. A Tesla Model 3, driving towards the future. A Rolls-Royce Phantom, either driving or being driven. A Pickup with a lift kit, perfect for mudding.
5. What is one piece in your wardrobe you can’t live without? One piece? It’s my signature bespoke suit. My leather jacket. Quirky accessories to express my mood. A bespoke, true London trenchcoat.
6. What does your morning grooming routine look like? A multi-step skincare regimen keeps me looking and feeling my best. Most of my time is spent shaping and styling my beard and mustache. A little pomade and the rest is best a little rough. A quick shower and a few of the basics but time management is key.
7. Go-to shoe? White tennis shoes, relaxed and sleek. Handmade oxfords, bespoke isn’t just for suits. Classic but casual boots. Converse All-Stars
8. Pick a classic pattern that speaks to your style: Paisley or a floral. A subtle stripe. Season and occasion appropriate; I know how to make anything work with my style. Tweed or houndstooth.
9. My ideal Friday night involves: Seeing my favourite band play a small venue. Staying in and reading, or watching a docuseries. Dinner and opening night with my significant other. Strapping my canoe to the roof of my car and hitting the road for the weekend.
10. What are you watching? DIY on YouTube. Marie Kondo. Live stream of the latest Apple special event. The latest episode of Sartorial Talks.
