The Lottsfeldt Capsule is an example of a custom capsule wardrobe we designed for our client Jim Lottsfeldt. Jim lives in Alaska, where he's had a long career as a lobbyist and policy strategist helping create positive change for the state of Alaska. He travels a lot - for work and for play. This particular capsule was created for a month-long trip to Europe, starting in Paris. On our initial zoom call Jim told me that he wants to pack only a carry-on and he wants to fit-in with the locals (not be seen as an American tourist).  Jim’s also a very difficult fit. He’s 6’5” with a long ..read more

The Guerre Capsule is an example of a custom capsule wardrobe we designed for our friend and client Karl-Edwin Guerre. Guerre is a menswear industry veteran. He's been a photographer, writer, stylist, brand consultant - and most recently he has launched one of the premier menswear publications; No Chaser Magazine. For his AOS capsule, Guerre wanted to focus on two Summer suits that can 1) dressed-up or dressed-down and 2) be mixed-and-matched together in any combination.  So we started with a black seersucker and a cigar linen (two of my personal favorite lightweight suits) - then we ad ..read more

Nor is it about bold color or splashy pattern. This one is purely about fit, texture and casual tailoring for every occasion from day to night. Syd is also a tough fit - with long arms, square shoulders and a le ..read more
