Black leather blouson jacket

A sleek, minimal black leather jacket cut in a relaxed blouson silhouette — not a biker, not a blazer, but something in between. The leather is buttery and expensive, with no hardware to speak of, worn with the ease of someone who grabbed it off a chair rather than dressed intentionally. Slightly oversized through the body, hitting at the hip.

Camel cashmere crewneck

A mid-weight cashmere crewneck in a warm camel or oatmeal tone, the kind that costs four figures and looks like it cost forty. Relaxed but not baggy, with a slightly ribbed neck that sits low and easy. The color reads moneyed against the black leather — understated, heritage, quietly correct.

03 · tailoring

Slim charcoal tailored trousers

Slim-cut trousers in a fine charcoal wool, almost suiting weight but worn entirely off-duty. A clean, slightly tapered leg with no break, sitting just above the shoe — the kind of pant that signals a man who never has to try. No pleats, no fuss, immaculate in a way that looks accidental.

Minimal leather card holder

A slim, near-flat card holder in dark espresso or black leather — no logo visible, no branding necessary. The kind of thing from a small Parisian maison that only people who know, know. Tucked into a back pocket or jacket breast, it's an afterthought that cost more than most people's wallets.
