Personal essentials

My selection of essentials ranging from garments to accessories. Pieces designed to last a lifetime and to carry a story with them. I think every man should consider owning these pieces at a certain point, as they build the foundations of a versatile and smart wardrobe: pairing them is easy and intuitive, and with just minimum attention to some basic rules, they will get you sorted in every situation.

Buffalo plaid jacket
