About

I’m Terry. I love style and I love making an effort with how I dress. I also want to help you dress better.

Aside from wanting to help you hone your sense of style, I wanted to create a website that was approachable. Style and the connotations that come with it can often be intimidating. This won’t be the place that extols the virtues of fine cognacs, cigars, and Rolexes. I don’t particularly care for that world, I’m not a part of that world nor do I want to be. What I do want is to offer you advice on timeless, classical style that you can follow for life. I’ll be focusing on quality, not luxury.

This website will be packed with helpful articles on how to be better dressed but also practical tips like what to look for in a tailor or how to polish and care for your shoes properly. There will also be opinion pieces and culture articles like book reviews, restaurant guides, cocktail recipes and travel writing. I want to try to encourage analytical thought. I want us to be the best men we can be. It's the modern gentleman's one-stop-shop for all things style and culture related.

Above all, I'd like to start a movement. A movement where men will wear a jacket and a tie to the theatre instead of shorts. A movement where men will make an effort with how they dress instead of living in sweats. A movement where men will learn to care for their clothes and shoes properly, putting a halt to this throwaway society we've become. Will you join me? Let's make the world a more pleasant and stylish place, one tailored blazer at a time.
