My dear fashionistas, welcome to the first fashion story in a series of posts from England on the Mr.M blog. The month of March will be dedicated to the unusual country in the heart of Western Europe and the largest constituent country of the United Kingdom, a country known for its royal family, traditional English breakfast, famous English accent, tea, rain, rain and more rain… At the very beginning of today’s fashion story about the British luxury clothing brand Burberry, I would like to thank you for your wonderful messages and numerous emails about the previous post which was dedicated to a travelogue about London. I am glad that you, like me, have fallen in love with this British metropolis.
Many of you have asked me via messages why I was in London in January of this year and what are the pictures of me with Burberry coats that were taken on the streets of London. At the beginning of this year, the leading luxury British fashion house Burberry presented its new SS25 collection, but that’s why a new promotional campaign called “It’s Always Burberry Weather: London in Love” was launched.
The new Burberry campaign, inspired by British romantic comedies, combines love, rain and legendary coats without which we cannot imagine the spring-Summer season 2025. Burberry fashion house took the opportunity to revive a true British love story by showing humour, optimism and of course what we all know – the unpredictability of the “great” changing weather in London.
This is a new Burberry love story that pays homage to the British romantic comedies of the 90s and 2000s. To mark the launch of the new campaign, Burberry has unveiled a series of seven films inspired by Britain’s favorite romantic comedies. The films explore the everyday romances of ordinary Londoners, with familiar plots and playful dialogue. The urban fairytale world of love, everyday life and rain is brought to life by a stellar cast. The film stars Academy Award winner Kate Winslet, alongside Amy Lou Wood, Chan Kuhn, Jodie Turner-Smith, Michael Ward, Nicholas Hoult, Richard E. Grant, Son Souk and models David Gandy, Liu Wen and Naomi Campbell. Of course, none of this is possible without the famous Knight of Burberry also appearing in a role, always silent but chivalrous, always in a sign of special attention and care that is taken for the heritage and logo of the fashion house Burberry.
All the people who have been following my blog for years know that I have a great love for Burberry trench-coats and coats, honestly I don’t even know how many of their fashion pieces I own anymore, but I know that this is my favourite trench and the colour that I always like to wear – the colour of honey. Soft pastel golden camel color that blends very easily with other colors. In today’s fashion story, I will show you a new fashion piece in my wardrobe: a heritage Burberry Gabardine Trench Coat that has been redesigned for the needs of the new SS25 collection.
Burberry trenchcoats and coats represent the pinnacle of world fashion and have become indispensable fashion classics today. These coats were created by the founder of the Burberry company, Thomas Burberry, more than 100 years ago, inspired by the British heritage, and at the same time introduced elements of urban fashion.
You can find all classic Burberry coats in 5 basic models: Legendary Kensington, Westminster, Chelsea, Waterloo and Pimlico. All models are named after London districts. What is the difference between these models?
The Kensington – a classic model with a modern cut that easily adapts to any silhouette. The most popular model, which is available in four basic colors: gray, navy, honey color (camel) and black. Also, this model is made in two lengths. The coat you see on me today is this model.
The Westminster – a model that is extended (oversized) and lightly cut for a draped silhouette. Basic colors: honey color (camel) and dark green (khaki). Also, this model is made in two lengths.
The Chelsea – a model characterized by a slim fit (narrow form close to the body) with narrow shoulders and a cut waist. The basic colors are honey and taupe and it is also available in two lengths.
The Waterloo – A more comfortable fit, a longer model than the classic with a subtle and relaxed fit that is ideal for layering. This model is usually made in three basic colors: maroon, black and honey-camel and is available in only one length.
The Pimlico, a simple flat cut decorated with a single-row fastening of a minimalistic character and a modern cut. This model is usually made in navy, biscuit (biscuit color) and honey color – camel. This model is also only available in one classic length.
I would like to note that all the listed colors are only classics that are always produced, but the Burberry company introduces seasonal colors to enrich its offer.
Most Burberry coats have been hand-crafted in Castleford, Yorkshire for over 50 years from gabardine – a revolutionary fabric that Thomas Burberry proudly introduced in 1879. Polished, light and practical, beautiful cotton resistant to all kinds of weather conditions that remains at the heart of the Burberry brand to this day. The classic coat model originated and developed from the basic form of the Tielocken coat, which was patented in 1912 by Thomas Burberry. A simple but refined unique shape that has been adapted over the years and has become a recognizable Burberry coat.
Each Burberry coat is special and has its own story – one that is made to last and write new pages of life’s chapters together with you. Buying a Burberry trench or coat is an investment, it is a fashion piece that can really be worn nicely and for a long time with proper maintenance and it is a thing you can leave for generations to come. I inherited my first Burberry coat from my grandfather and today I keep it carefully and wear it on special occasions because it has a special sentimental value for me.
When the time comes to buy a Burberry trench, it’s a big deal and especially if you are buying a coat for the first time it is very important to buy a “iconic” piece that you can combine with your items from your wardrobe and it is best to buy a coat in your favorite color, without blindly following trends.
To the readers of the Mr.M blog, I have become a recognisable symbol of autumn and spring precisely because of the Burberry trench coats and I have received numerous questions about the advice for smart purchase of a Burberry coat. I have tried to highlight important questions and provide you with adequate answers that can help you during your purchase. All answers represent my personal opinion and certain observations, so don’t generalize things, take this as buying advice.
What are the basic colors you should think about when buying a Burberry trench or coat? There is no universal answer to this question, but I will share with you my opinion and some of my colleagues and fashion experts with whom I like to exchange opinions. I think that for a start, there are 3 colours by which the Burberry trench or coat is recognisable, and they are: Beige (washed stone colour), Camel (honey colour) and Black colour.
These three colors are some fashion statement basics, but as I said it all depends on the taste of the owner of the new Burberry trench, maybe that customer thinks that the basic colors in the palette are: red, purple and olive green. Therefore, a person will decide to buy a coat in one of those colors, which Burberry has in its seasonal offer.
Is the length of the coat crucial when making a purchase decision? Of course! I always try to advise people to buy iconic items in classic cuts and lengths and not to blindly follow trends. Trends are changing, one season there are modern coats of casual cuts with puff sleeves quite long length to the ground, after two months or a year later another trend comes. My most honest advice is to buy a coat of length that suits your body constitution in proportion to your own height. Burberry trench coats exist in several lengths and I am sure you can always find the ideal coat for yourself.
Once again, is it worth investing money in a honey trench coat? If you are a fan of camel color and have a lot of things in pastel or neutral colors, then I think you know the right answer. If you feel some kind of insecurity while trying on a camel coat and reconsider your decision several times, I think it’s best to try another color. When you buy an expensive item like a Burberry coat it is something that must be accompanied by a feeling of fulfillment and security.
The trench coat or a coat are pieces that are worn over other pieces of clothing, so it is best to look at your favorite pieces of clothing and shoes before buying and judge for yourself which are the two or three colors that might come into consideration when buying a coat. Camel color is a neutral color and blends with other colors with great ease, but each of us knows our wardrobe best and you may find the ideal solution since buying a Burberry coat is a real investment.
Is it worth investing money in a Burberry Trench coat? A Trench Coat is always a unique piece and if I personally would invest in my first capital piece, it would certainly be a cashmere coat or trench coat. A Trench Coat is an interesting investment if you already have several wool coats or cashmere coats in your wardrobe, and in some way you want to refresh your outfits a little sometimes. To summarise, if you are building your wardrobe and investing in statement fashion pieces, my sincere recommendation is to first buy cashmere coats and good leather and other kind of jackets, but if you already own these statement pieces in your wardrobe, a trench coat is an interesting fashion piece that will refresh your outfits for sure.
Did we fit in nicely at the end? Honestly, I believe we are. After so many years of loyalty to this British brand and because of my personal interest, I have learned a lot about their offer and I am lucky to always be able to show my favourite pieces from the fashion house Burberry on my blog.
In today’s post, you have the opportunity to see the famous Burberry double-breasted mid-length trench coat in honey colour, as well as a beige long-sleeved polo shirt that is made of silk thread.
OUTFIT
Trenchcoat: Burberry
Top: Burberry
Gloves: George Horn
Trousers: Loro Piana
Sneakers: Fratelli Rossetti
The next brand that I want to introduce to you is one of the representatives of luxury Irish leather goods with a long tradition and rich history – George Horn. As a big fan of luxury and high-quality leather goods, at Showcase Ireland I had the honor of meeting Mr. Gerard Horn, manager of the George Horn brand that produces luxury leather gloves.
George Horn is a third generation glove maker based in Dublin. Founded by George in the 1940s and continued by his son Brian, the company is now run by Brian and his son Gerard. With a passion for quality, authenticity and respect for their craft and artistry, George Horn produce the finest hand-stitched gloves available on the Irish market.
After 77 years of craft, expertise, excitement, many successes and failures, and the hard work of 3 generations of one family, the continuation of George Horn not only sees the survival of the last master glove maker in Ireland, but also heralds a new era of those learning the trade. George Horn is also engaged in the training and education of leather artisans and glove makers to ensure that these age-old skills are preserved in a sustainable and sustainable way.
What is the story of this family brand? During the 1960s, the George Horn Company prospered and gained a reputation for the highest quality gloves. Sales reached across the globe from Japan to the US and included household names such as Harrods and Christian Dior. George Horn gloves have enjoyed a reputation at Bloomingdales, Saks of Fifth Avenue and Roots in New York for the highest standard of materials and quality in the manufacture of gloves from motorcycle gloves to Irish Army service gloves and other models. Mr. George expanded the Ashtown factory and the company’s success seemed boundless.
A little later, in 1972, a fire destroyed the Ashtown premises, destroying much of the old machinery. Unable to obtain spare machines that he felt were up to the appropriate standards, George ceased making gloves. Business continued as the Castleknock Glove Company produced industrial gloves, specialty gloves and small series such as gloves for Irish Army officers, and also began supplying leather to the craft market. George’s son, Brian, became involved in the company in the 1960s, initially selling in Ireland and then around the world, then learning the trade of a master glove maker from his father. To this day, it is Brian who cuts the gloves and oversees the sewing and finishing of all George Horn gloves.
After a fire in 1972, the company moved to Prussia Street, trading as The Castleknock Glove Company, but the collapse of Irish manufacturing and the era of mass importation saw the business close in 2003. A switch to supplying leather and tools began and Brian kept his glove manufacturing on a small scale to order for the next 15 years.
After the closure of the glove manufacturer in the UK, Brian secured old machinery, knives and equipment to match that originally lost in the 1972 fire. While some would argue that modern machines can do the job, for Brian it just wasn’t right and finding the right equipment provided the impetus and motivation to begin a two-year process of testing, tuning and refining until 2020, the year that marked the turning point and of the beautiful moment of the rebirth of the George Horn glove brand.
In today’s post you have the opportunity to see the masterpiece of the George Horn brand, men’s hand-stitched gloves made of lamb’s nappa leather and lined with pure cashmere. Experience the height of luxury with these George Horn handmade lamb nappa leather gloves. These gloves are a testament to the skill and expertise of George Horn’s skilled cutters and makers, demanding the highest level of craftsmanship in every detail.
Completely hand-stitched, these gloves exude elegance and refinement. “Greek Dots” – slightly raised, meticulously stitched lines on the back – add a prominent and textured finish, fusing tradition with unique craftsmanship. Inside, the gloves are lined with 100% pure cashmere, providing unparalleled warmth and a soft feel against the skin. These gloves are designed to complement any outfit while providing exceptional comfort while embodying timeless sophistication and elegance.

Mr.M
This post is sponsored by Burberry, Loro Piana, George Horn and Fratelli Rossetti brands. This post is my personal and honest review of their products.
You’re right Marco, it’s always the perfect time to wear a Burberry coat in London. I always admire your appearance and you have such a narrow waist to wear a Burberry coat, you don’t even need to tie the coat… Can you tell me how you manage to keep such a figure? Do you have a special diet or do you workout?
The Burberry coat is truly an iconic piece and I think you are one of the few who owns so many Burberry coats. I would like to be in your place, so we could change wardrobes at least for a couple of days. I love your style!
I love Burberry coats, I have 4 trench coats and coats made of leather, cashmere and cotton gabardine. The color of honey is the most rewarding color to combine. You have made memorable pictures in the heart of London! This is fantastic!
Marko, you are really living people’s dreams, you came to London for the presentation of the new Burberry collection and you are wearing a Burberry coat in London! Simply divine
Your style and way of dressing is fantastic! Your approach to minimalist quiet luxury is exceptional.
Hello Marko, I have been contemplating buying my first Burberry trench for quite some time, and your breakdown of the five classic models is exactly the kind of practical information I had been searching for. I have been torn between the Kensington and the Chelsea the slim fit of the Chelsea appeals to me as I have a lean build, but I worry it may be too fitted for layering thicker knitwear underneath in autumn. Would you say the mid-length Kensington gives more flexibility for all-season wear, particularly when layering over heavier sweaters? Your advice about buying the color you… Read more »
Bonjour Marko, c’est la première fois que j’entends parler de George Horn et l’histoire de cette maison de ganterie irlandaise est absolument fascinante. Savoir que c’est la dernière manufacture de gants artisanaux en Irlande, avec trois générations de savoir-faire familial depuis les années 1940, donne une valeur considérable à chaque paire produite. Les gants en nappa d’agneau cousus à la main avec doublure en cachemire pur et la finition “Greek Dots” représentent exactement le type de pièce que je recherche pour compléter un look hivernal élégant. Je vais absolument visiter leur site pour passer commande merci pour cette belle découverte!
Dag Marko, ik ben al enige tijd een trouwe bezitter van Loro Piana en kan bevestigen dat de kwaliteit van hun kasjmier werkelijk ongeëvenaard is. De kameelkleurige kasjmier broek uit de herfst-wintercollectie 2024/25 die je in dit artikel draagt heb ik zelf ook in mijn garderobe en de veelzijdigheid ervan om te combineren is buitengewoon groot. De manier waarop de neutrale tinten van de Burberry trenchcoat in honing en de Loro Piana broek in karamel samen één coherent geheel vormen is een mooie les in stille luxe. Ik ben het volledig eens met jouw filosofie om te investeren in tijdloze… Read more »
Ciao Marko, la nuova campagna SS25 di Burberry “It’s Always Burberry Weather: London in Love” è davvero una delle più riuscite degli ultimi anni. L’idea di rendere omaggio alle commedie romantiche britanniche degli anni ’90 e 2000 con un cast stellare che include Kate Winslet, Naomi Campbell, Nicholas Hoult e David Gandy è un colpo di genio creativo. Il fatto che la campagna celebri la pioggia londinese e l’imprevedibilità del tempo come elementi romantici piuttosto che fastidiosi è qualcosa di tipicamente britannico nel modo migliore possibile. Il tuo trench Kensington nel colore miele sulle strade di Londra sembra uscito direttamente… Read more »
Dear Marko, I own a couple of Burberry pieces myself a Westminster in dark khaki and a Chelsea in classic beige, but I have been looking at the Kensington in honey camel for years without committing to the purchase. Your post has finally pushed me toward making that decision. The point about honey camel being uniquely easy to pair with other colors is something I have noticed in your styling here: the trench worn over the camel Loro Piana cashmere trousers creates that tonal dressing effect that is so refined when executed well. I’m curious whether you find the mid-length… Read more »
Hallo Marko, von George Horn hatte ich bis zu diesem Artikel noch nie gehört, und ich bin wirklich begeistert von der Geschichte dieser kleinen irischen Handschuhmacher-Manufaktur. Die Tatsache, dass nach dem Brand von 1972 und der Schließung im Jahr 2003 die Marke dank alter Maschinen und generationsübergreifendem handwerklichem Wissen im Jahr 2020 neu auferstanden ist, ist eine Geschichte über Beharrlichkeit und Leidenschaft, die wirklich berührt. Dass diese Handschuhe einst bei Harrods, Bloomingdale’s und Saks Fifth Avenue verkauft wurden, zeigt das absolute Qualitätsniveau dieser Manufaktur sehr deutlich. Handschuhe aus Lammnappaleder mit Kaschmierfutter und handgenähten “Greek Dots” sind ein Stück, das man… Read more »
Hola Marko, me has ayudado muchísimo a entender el mundo de los trenchs de Burberry con esta guía tan detallada. Tengo pensado comprar mi primer trench coat de lujo y estaba bastante indeciso entre empezar por un Burberry o un abrigo de cachemira. Siguiendo tu consejo de que primero conviene tener los abrigos de cachemira y cuero antes de invertir en un trench, creo que la decisión está más clara. Pero me queda una duda: si alguien ya tiene varios abrigos de lana de calidad, ¿recomendarías empezar directamente por el modelo Kensington como el más clásico y versátil, o existe… Read more »
Marko, the history of gabardine is something I find genuinely fascinating and you have done a fine job of contextualizing it here. Thomas Burberry patenting gabardine in 1879 as a weatherproof yet breathable cotton quite different from the heavy waxed materials of that era was a genuine textile innovation that changed outerwear permanently. The fact that the coats are still hand-crafted in Castleford, Yorkshire, with over fifty years of continuous production in the same location, is the kind of manufacturing provenance that is almost impossible to find anywhere in modern fashion. I own a Waterloo model in black that I… Read more »
Bonjour Marko, je ne connaissais pas du tout Fratelli Rossetti avant de lire cet article et je suis vraiment intrigué par cette maison italienne de chaussures de luxe. La façon dont la sneaker en cuir de Fratelli Rossetti complète un ensemble aussi élaboré qu’un trench Burberry, un polo en fil de soie et un pantalon Loro Piana en cachemire est une démonstration parfaite de la façon dont une chaussure décontractée peut s’intégrer dans un look luxueux sans le dénaturer. Pourras-tu nous dire un peu plus sur la qualité de construction de ces sneakers et si elles tiennent bien dans le… Read more »
Lieber Marko, die Loro Piana Kaschmirhos aus der Herbst-Winter-Kollektion 2024/25 in Kamelfarbe ist ein Stück, das ich seit Monaten im Blick habe, und deine Fotos haben mich endgültig überzeugt. Das Haus Loro Piana ist als weltgrößter Verarbeiter von Kaschmir bekannt und dass es auch Vicuña und Baby-Kaschmir verarbeitet, positioniert es in einer wirklich außergewöhnlichen Kategorie. Die Kombination der Kamelfarbe der Hose mit dem Honig-Camel des Burberry-Trenches schafft eine tonale Harmonie, die sehr edel wirkt. Ich wäre neugierig zu wissen, ob du Loro Piana Kaschmirstücke auch in den Übergangsmonaten trägst oder ob du diese für den Herbst und Winter reservierst.
Beste Marko, wat een geweldig artikel over Burberry en de Londense straten als decor! De foto’s passen perfect bij het campagnethema dat verwijst naar de Britse romantische komedies uit de jaren negentig en tweeduizend je kunt je die films bijna voor de geest halen als je de beelden bekijkt. Ik heb zelf een Burberry Chelsea in beige die ik al een aantal jaar met veel plezier draag, en elke keer voel ik hoe de kwaliteit van het gabardine, met de hand vervaardigd in Castleford, Yorkshire, echt verschilt van goedkopere alternatieven. De combinatie met de Loro Piana broek en de George… Read more »
Caro Marko, sono un appassionato di Loro Piana da diversi anni e il tuo articolo mi ricorda ogni volta perché questa maison sia così speciale nel panorama del lusso italiano. Sapevo che Loro Piana è il maggiore produttore mondiale di cachemire, ma non avevo mai approfondito la struttura delle tre divisioni aziendali tessile, moda e interior design e questo mi dà una visione ancora più completa dell’azienda. Ho una curiosità: hai mai avuto modo di provare capi in vicuña di Loro Piana, la fibra ancora più preziosa del cachemire che trattano? Vorrei capire come si confronta come sensazione al tatto… Read more »
Hi Marko, the moment in your article where you describe inheriting your first Burberry coat from your grandfather and keeping it carefully for special occasions is something that resonated with me very deeply. I had a similar experience with a coat that my own father brought back from London in the early nineties a piece that has outlasted dozens of things bought since and that has developed a character impossible to replicate with anything new. It makes the argument for true investment dressing more powerfully than any fashion magazine article ever could. I also had no idea that George Horn… Read more »
Cher Marko, j’ai une question pratique concernant la couleur miel que tu décris si bien dans cet article. Je suis tenté par le Kensington dans cette teinte caramel dorée, mais je possède déjà beaucoup de pièces en gris et marine dans ma garde-robe. Penses-tu que la couleur miel s’intègre facilement avec ces teintes plus fraîches, ou fonctionne-t-elle mieux avec des palettes plus chaudes composées de beige, crème et camel ? La façon dont tu associes le trench miel avec le pantalon cachemire camel de Loro Piana crée une harmonie tonale très sophistiquée, et je me demande si cette approche monochrome… Read more »
Hallo Marko, ich bin seit vielen Jahren begeisterter Träger von Burberry und besitze selbst den Westminster-Mantel in Kamelfarbe, dessen oversized Schnitt mit der drapierten Silhouette mir sehr gut gefällt. Was mich an deinem Artikel besonders beeindruckt hat ist die übersichtliche Erklärung der fünf klassischen Modelle Kensington, Westminster, Chelsea, Waterloo und Pimlico mit ihren jeweiligen Eigenschaften eine so klare Zusammenfassung hatte ich noch nie an einem einzigen Ort gelesen. Ich hatte außerdem keine Ahnung, dass alle Modellnamen nach Londoner Stadtteilen benannt sind, was eine schöne historische Verbindung zur britischen Hauptstadt herstellt. Die George Horn Handschuhe haben mich sehr neugierig gemacht und… Read more »
Hola Marko, no conocía en absoluto la marca Fratelli Rossetti antes de leer este artículo y me ha sorprendido muy gratamente descubrir que se trata de una casa italiana de calzado de lujo con una reputación seria. La forma en que las zapatillas de cuero de Fratelli Rossetti encajan en un look tan elaborado trench Burberry, polo de seda, pantalón de cachemira Loro Piana sin romper la armonía del conjunto es realmente notable. ¿Podrías contarnos algo más sobre la historia de Fratelli Rossetti y si sus sneakers son aptas para un uso intensivo en ciudad o son más para ocasiones… Read more »
Dear Marko, the “It’s Always Burberry Weather: London in Love” campaign is one of the most charming fashion campaigns I have seen in several years, and you have captured its spirit perfectly in this post. The idea of bringing together Kate Winslet, Naomi Campbell, Nicholas Hoult, Richard E. Grant and David Gandy in a series of seven short films each paying homage to a different British romantic comedy is genuinely creative storytelling rather than straightforward advertising. There is something irreplaceable about British humor and romanticism when filtered through a fashion lens, and this campaign understands that instinctively. The honey Kensington… Read more »
Beste Marko, ik ben erg geïnteresseerd in de George Horn handschoenen en had een vraag over het onderhoud van nappa-leer handschoenen. Hoe zorg je er het best voor dat lamsnappaleer zijn soepelheid en glans behoudt door de jaren heen, en zijn er specifieke producten die je zou aanraden voor het reinigen en voeden van dit type leer? Ik vraag dit ook omdat de kasjmier voering delicaat klinkt en ik benieuwd ben of de handschoenen uitsluitend drooggereinigd mogen worden. De “Greek Dots” afwerking op de handrug is een detail dat ik nog nooit eerder had gezien bij luxe handschoenen en het… Read more »
Salve Marko, non conoscevo Loro Piana prima di questo articolo e la descrizione che ne fai mi ha incuriosito moltissimo. Il fatto che questa maison italiana sia il più grande produttore mondiale di cachemire e che lavori anche vicuña e baby cachemire la posiziona in una categoria completamente diversa rispetto ai brand di lusso che frequento normalmente. Il pantalone in cachemire color cammello che indossi in questo servizio sembra avere una caduta e una morbidezza straordinarie anche solo dalla fotografia. Penso che Loro Piana sarà la mia prossima grande scoperta sartoriale e andrò a visitare il loro negozio fisico la… Read more »
Marko, the detail about Burberry’s manufacturing in Castleford, Yorkshire is something that genuinely matters to me as someone who pays close attention to where garments are actually made. Over fifty years of continuous coat production in the same Yorkshire facility is a remarkable industrial heritage story that very few fashion houses can honestly claim today. The gabardine fabric patented by Thomas Burberry in 1879 as a tightly woven cotton that repels water while remaining lightweight and breathable was a genuinely revolutionary material at a time when most weatherproof clothing was heavy and suffocating. I own a Burberry Waterloo in maroon… Read more »
Bonjour Marko, la façon dont tu as construit cette tenue entièrement dans une palette de tons neutres et chauds le trench Kensington en miel, le polo en fil de soie Burberry et le pantalon en cachemire camel Loro Piana est une véritable leçon de style en matière d’habillage tonal. C’est exactement l’approche que les stylistes nomment “tonal dressing” qui demande en réalité une précision très fine dans le choix des nuances pour ne pas tomber dans la monotonie. Les rues de Londres, avec cette lumière hivernale si particulière, constituent le décor idéal pour ce type d’élégance discrète et confiante. Merci… Read more »
Estimado Marko, la historia de George Horn es algo que no esperaba encontrar en un artículo de moda y que me ha dejado completamente fascinado. Que la última fábrica de guantes artesanales de Irlanda haya sufrido un incendio devastador en 1972 en Ashtown, cerrado en 2003 y resucitado en 2020 gracias a la búsqueda de maquinaria vintage original es una historia de resiliencia que merece mucha más visibilidad. El hecho de que estos guantes hayan llegado a venderse en Harrods, Bloomingdale’s y Saks Fifth Avenue confirma que su calidad siempre fue de primer nivel mundial. Me alegra mucho que esta… Read more »
Lieber Marko, ich habe eine Frage zu den Saisonfarben von Burberry, die du in deinem Artikel kurz erwähnst. Neben den klassischen Tönen Beige, Camel, Schwarz, Navy und Grau bietet Burberry offenbar saisonale Farben an welche dieser Sondertöne aus vergangenen Saisons haben dich besonders begeistert, oder welche wurden deiner Meinung nach zu Unrecht wenig beachtet? Ich finde die Grundfarbe Honey besonders gelungen, weil sie in dem für Deutschland und England typischen gedämpften Nordlicht wirklich warm und einladend wirkt. Die Bilder von den Londoner Straßen bestätigen das vollständig dieser Trench scheint das schwache Winterlicht förmlich aufzufangen und zurückzuwerfen.
Dag Marko, ik kende Fratelli Rossetti nog niet maar de manier waarop de lederen sneaker van dit Italiaanse merk hier is gestyled met een Burberry trench en Loro Piana kasjmier broek heeft me meteen nieuwsgierig gemaakt. Zou je kunnen vertellen of Fratelli Rossetti voornamelijk via eigen winkels verkoopt of ook via multibrand retailers in Europa beschikbaar is, zodat je de kwaliteit van het leer fysiek kunt voelen voor aankoop? De combinatie van een sneaker met zo’n formele bovengarderobe is een stijlkeuze die ik bewonder maar zelf nog niet goed durf te maken jouw manier van stijlen maakt echter duidelijk dat… Read more »
Hi Marko, I’ve been wearing Fratelli Rossetti shoes for several years now and can confirm everything that the brand’s reputation suggests about the quality of their leather construction. I own two pairs of their Oxford shoes and the leather has developed a wonderful patina over time that makes them look better now than on the day I bought them. It is interesting to see them paired here with such a formal upper outfit the Burberry trench, the silk polo, the Loro Piana cashmere because I have mostly worn my Fratelli Rossetti pieces in business contexts. This post has made me… Read more »
Dear Marko, your London series is shaping up to be among the finest things on your blog. I have a question about the Pimlico model specifically you describe it as having a minimalistic single-row fastening and a flat modern cut, and I’m wondering whether that makes it the most contemporary of the five classic models and therefore the best choice for someone whose wardrobe tends toward a cleaner, more architectural aesthetic. The five-model breakdown with each one named after a London neighbourhood is a piece of information I will genuinely use the next time I visit a Burberry store. The… Read more »
