A Sincere Thank You

All,

A reader just posted a great comment that had my wheels turning a bit.

He let me know that in some recent comments I have come across as a bit cocky and defensive when critiqued.

While this is true, I cannot express how much I appreciate you all and your frequent visits and comments good or bad.

My rant on Monday about Style Forum was, in my mind, justified.

What is not justified, however, is the way I have been reacting to my own reader’s critiques. I looked back at the past few months and can see exactly what the commenter was talking about and will patiently go back and delete those responses as they are not very becoming of me.

I want all of you to know that I do this blog out of love for menswear and the guys who can’t really afford to go Bespoke. I don’t do it for money or recognition. I do it because I feel every man has the right to look amazing whether he makes $30,000 a year or $600,000 a year. And when I feel I am being unfairly critiqued I get defensive which is a bit unfair to my readers.

This blog started with a meager 20 hits per week and has jumped to 4,000-5,000. That jump has everything to do with you all sticking with me and I owe you a great amount of thanks.

I hope that in the past few weeks I have not turned any of you off from reading.

My sincerest thanks and best wishes,
Dennis Cahlo

End Of Winter Blues

Well boys, we are reaching the end of winter and while it’s still colder than a witches teet out there, I really love the style that winter brings. I’m such a sucker for a hearty wool, thick boot, and a driver’s cap. So towards the end of my favorite dressing season, I like to go with my trusted Imparali 3 piece around the office as it offers a great look with a jacket:

Made to Measure Suit: Imparali $500, Custom Shirt: Indochino $99, Tie: Vintage YSL: $1, Hat: $10, Glasses: Ray Ban $160

And without:
