Milan, Stockholm and Red Socks for Cycling

• Right on, Sleevehead. Design in men’s shoes is not the problem. High-quality manufacture at an affordable price is.

• The first of what will hopefully be several interviews on the London Lounge.

• And here’s the book in case you’re interested. Not a bad little summary.

• The Sartorialist in Milan is over. Worth a review of them, though.

• And if you move over to Sweden, you can see how Scott has taken inspiration from his own photos, going for a bright-blue scarf that was first seen on a plaid gentleman in Milan.

• Plus-fours and bright socks are so practical for cycling. Why didn’t we think of that before?

• A chart on events and dress does teach you a lot about traditions, but it seems a little over-restrictive.
