The Last Post of Summer


Yes, summer has ended but I found today's photo only yesterday while catching up on Finch's Quarterly Review, for my taste one of the better magazine equivalents online, and thought it too good to pass up. By the way, Finch's does a particularly nice job of integrating their own YouTube videos into the format, something ASW needs to begin copying shamelessly.

At any rate, the man on the left is Nick Foulkes of Finch's and other London-centric places. The stylish guy on the right is Wei Koh, who almost single-handedly has been writing The Rake, the glossy men's style magazine published in Singapore.

Some might quibble with Koh's pairing of a white collared shirt with an odd jacket but it serves to pull in his white trousers nicely. All in all, a great look for summer in my opinion.

We now return you to the onset of cooler weather.

Both superb - one in a more traditional fashion and one not, but both are impeccable in my view.

Hope The Rake becomes more widely available!

Good lord, the comparison between the two is fantastic - together, they're like a style Voltron.

Mr. Koh's tailored clothing may be by Rubinacci but his belt, in multistriped canvas with crocodile trim, can only be by Tom Ford.

I hope that Mr. Koh is listening and that we can look forward to wider distribution of The Rake.

it's not good, that horrible black checked shirt.
i like the other man's suit and tie, very casablanca. but the fitting leaves me doubts.
not really stylish, there's more to it than clothes.

Finch's Quarterly is thrilled to be featured on A Suitable Wardrobe - thank you! Nick Foulkes posts a weekly blog on our site (www.finchsquarterly.com) which we think is certainly worth the weekly visit. We are always keen for more feedback and comments, so please do get in touch.

It's all good! The intersection of man who might be more sartorially "correct" with one who with aplomb-creates his own rules.
