Mister Browne!

For the past 5 years my style guru has been (like a good few other gents) Mr Thom Browne.

Being a tall guy (somewhere between 6'1 and 6'2) Sometimes when wearing a traditional suit I feel a little square even when I break up the block with pocket squares and contrasting colours/patterns.

















When Mr Browne released his first menswear line in 2006 it felt like a breathe of fresh air. Reduced proportions, bold silhouette, sloping shoulders with minimal roping/structure and the finest fabrics around.

Thom Browne was educated in Economics and then fell into the fashion arena with the Ralph Lauren group. Thom's shrunken aesthetic was initiated when he started customising his own suiting. His own label was started on a very tight budget with no extra finances available for advertising etc. so Mr Browne decided to wear his own creations in and around NY and started receiving the order.

The rest as they say is fashion history.

Pity his threads retail in the highest end of the luxury menswear market alongside another Thom.... Ford that is (minus the 'h')
