BLOG EVERYDAY CLASSIC

After a short break, we are back! We would like to present you our first episode of The Questionnaire we did with a foreign guest - welcome Jesse Burzminski, widely known as @burzanblog! 

This time less subjectively, more generally - here comes the second part of the Everyday Classic gift guide! We have prepared a selection of Last Minute gifts, i.e. those that are safe, do not require exact size knowledge and can be easily bought even the last moment. Check them out.

Yes, it's already this time of the year - high time to start organizing gifts for your loved ones! In the first (there will be two) episode of the Everyday Classic gift guide, we present you a selection of the most interesting things that you can buy for someone… but just as well, for yourself.

Today, some more interesting facts for our 10th birthday. Read about our collaborations with bloggers (you haven't heard of them all!), surprising photos, our biggest orders and legendary products. Read further.

That's right - Poszetka is celebrating its 10th birthday this Autumn! To commemorate the event, we're going to include limited gifts to your orders. You need to make sure your order exceeds 31 euro and then simply pick your choice when checking out. 

We continue the topic of the Poszetka 10th birthday and so we invite you to read some interesting facts from our history! We divided the topic into two parts - in the first one, we mention our beginnings, several (sometimes surprising!) publications, exceptional (for many reasons) photo sessions and important places. Read further.

This time, contrary to what you might think, we will not be talking about tweed! Well, at least not directly, because talking about this iconic pattern without mentioning it is practically impossible… 

We are back with The Questionnaire! Today we are having a special guest, someone we just had to talk to, especially while celebrating our 10th anniversary. Say hello to Asia, a person without whom Poszetka would never come to life!

It might seem that we wrote so much about tweed last autumn that there isn’t much left to say. And yet on the occasion of our new collection’s launch and the presentation of the sportcoats, some questions still arised - most prominently, what the hell does Barleycorn mean? 

We continue our strong year of 10th anniversary celebrations, now presenting a collection that is record-breaking for us in terms of its volume - check what we have prepared for you for this autumn and winter season!

It often happens that even after hard and sad times, precious and nice souvenirs remain. Clothes are no exception here - the trenches of the Great War left behind a trench coat, World War II resulted in adoption of modern dress (and to a smaller degree, suit) cuts and the Vietnam War gave us the M65 jacket… Now it turns out that the period of the Polish People's Republic (PRL) resulted in a great, functional raincoat!

Yes, exactly - this autumn Poszetka is turning 10 years old! Read on how the story began in 2010 and get to know what we are preparing for the celebration. 

Let's start with saying it loud and clear - having your clothes tailor-made should be fun! However, for this to always be the case, there are some important rules to remember.

Summer is almost gone and so is our month-long vacation from the Everyday Classic blog! We are back with the topic, just in time for these cold & rainy days that found us. Have a read.

The majority of things from this year’s Poszetka Spring/Summer collection is now 10% off. This makes up for a good occasion to write a little sum-up and show some of the most interesting pieces you can now buy for less. Check them out.

Jakub Ziółkowski, the newest member of our team, has prepared an extensive text about all the fabric mills that appeared in our latest SS2020 collection. Have a read and dive deeper into the world of cloth!

A suit, double breasted, cut from a wide-striped cloth - that sounds like a description of a power suit! Well, not exactly, not this time. 

If we ever had to run a contest for the most breezy shoes, the final round would definitely include sandlas, flip-flops and espadrilles. However, if we had to count the style points and take them into consideration, these would definitely knock out the former two.

If you are reading this, you are probably wearing some kind of trousers. Think about them for a while and ask yourself, whether you like and why. Would you call them comfortable and good-looking? Elegant and flattering? 

For the 8th episode, we give up on guests (just for a while) and talk to the newest member of our team, Jakub Ziółkowski, instead. Welcome!

Last Fall, Winter and early Spring we have been writing there a lot about tweed. This is the fabric that we - both me personally and the whole Poszetka team - truly love to wear and show around. What to do when it is too hot to wear it? How can we replace it, not giving up the rich texture and versatility?

Every great wardrobe needs a solid foundation, but how should it look like?

Or: late spring, weird summer, four members of Poszetka team, four places in Poland, many obstacles and our biggest ready-to-wear collection to date. See the 2020-worthy lookbook!

In the second episode of our Product Focus series we feature not one, but two (or well, maybe even three…) separate items, all of them parts of the Poszetka’s new SS2020 collection.

Summer is coming - and it seems that it will be even hotter this year. Such a weather needs a proper cloth to combat the heat in style, especially if we cannot (or just don’t want to) abandon suits completely. Here is our proposition - cotton seersucker!

It's the 7th episode already! This time we talk to Michał Frąckiewicz, a blogger (although he uses this term less and less) and menswear industry insider. Have a read.

These weird times that we have to live in at the moment are forcing everyone to change the way they work an live and become more creative, at least when looking for some temporary solutions. It is also the reason why our new series, Product Focus, were born - a spontaneous look at our products, different from what we have done before. 

Although majority of menswear bloggers would (or at least used to) say that loafers are strictly summer shoes, best worn without socks (or rather no-show ones), we just can’t agree with that.

We can say that we are all dealing with an unprecedented situation that surprised everyone. We cannot leave it without a comment - we, the whole Poszetka team, are touched by it as much as you are.

This time in our questionnaire we welcome a true grey eminence of the #menswear scene in Poland: a man who knows (almost) everyone, but is known by (almost) no one. Enter Mateusz Łohutko, co-founder of Sartolane.

This year Poszetka is turning 10 years old. We are proud of many things that have happened during this time - and one of the most important for us is that our products are now appreciated not only here in Poland, but also abroad, sometimes very far away.

A lot of people hearing the term tweed jacket imagine a voluminous, old-fashioned piece of clothing, in an indefinite, earthy color, worn down, spotting patches on the elbows.

In this episode of The Questionnaire, we talk to Szymon Jeziorko, a menswear blogger better known for his All Tied Up blog. Welcome!

Although at first glance it may seem that there is no blazer in the current Poszetka's range, after a careful analysis you will be able find as many as... three.

Today, we associate velvet with the epitome of softness, a mythical reference point for other things. However, it is also just a fabric - but a one that has quite a unique position in men's fashion.

It's December, the year is coming to an end, time to sum it up. How was 2019 for Poszetka?

Ulster is the name of an Irish province, torn between Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland ... but also a coat. And not just any coat - the Ulster Coat.

In the fourth episode of the Questionnaire, we talk to Mikołaj Pawełczak, who you could already know better as the author of the Blue Loafers blog. Welcome!

Everyone associates tweed with the British Isles. For many, its synonym is the famous Harris Tweed, originally from the Scottish Outer Hebrides, of strictly protected origin. Fewer people know that it has a somewhat less known, but equally characteristic cousin in Ireland - the Donegal Tweed.

As we write these words, the weekend started by Black Friday is still on. We would like to say something more about this, approaching the topic from a slightly different perspective...

Although majority of us would say that breaking-in a new, stiff pair of welted shoes can be a painful experience, it can also feel rewarding and satisfying.

No, it is not an old, pilled tie. It is shantung! This kind of raw silk with its characteristic slubby texture can’t be easily mistaken with any other fabric.

When we were introducing hats to our offer, we really wanted them to be produced by Polkap from Skoczów - a local company based in Silesia, in our opinion the best hatmakers in Poland.

In the third episode of The Questionnaire we interview Mateusz Tryjanowski - the chief editor of our Everyday Classic, man responsible for majority of articles you read here. But what else does he do? How did he began his menswear career? Read more to know the answers.

Corduroy - some say it’s an old man’s fabric, some think of it as the fabric that they used to wear in their childhood, others are reminded of (a little embarrassing) 70s fashion by it. Why is that and why is there no real reason to stay away from this fabric?

The “in-between garments" are gaining popularity. They are generally the less formal substitutes for a jacket, be it an overshirt, military jacket or a thick jacket-like knits... What about the safari?

Navy blue seems to be the most popular color in classic men's fashion, currently well ahead of gray. It is the default suit color, be it for work, for wedding or for other important occasions. It is also the color of the most universal sportcoat (the blazer), the majority of elegant ties and, probably, the most popular mens socks. But what about trousers?

In the second episode of our Questionnaire, we talk to Andrzej Olender - a footwear artist, well known in the community as The Shine. Enjoy!

A navy blazer is perceived as the most versatile and easiest to pair sportcoat a man can own. However, during the autumn/winter season it has a serious competitor... 

Neapolitan tailoring boomed in the recent years, paving its way to the top. Its synonym became the la giacca napoletana - a jacket based on a lightweight construction, with any unnecessary padding removed, comfortable and stylish. Could such a jacket be accompanied by ordinary trousers?

Manifesto - a written statement of the beliefs, aims, and policies of an organization (...).

Although word raglan functions as an adjective describing a way of setting in sleeve, it may mean a lot more - as a noun it describes a distinctive kind of coat, roomy and comfortable.

Szymon Jeziorko from All Tied Up on dressing in elegant manner.

The integral part of our Everyday Classic blog will be The Questionnaire - a repeating series of questions answered by our special guests. We invite you to read the first episode, starring Tomek Godziek - the person who, together with his beloved wife Asia, established Poszetka.com and runs it to this day.

Proudly introducing our third & the newest collection - FW 19/20, we want to tell more about the Everyday Classic, our casual and comfortable approach to menswear.

Popover shirt might be described as a hybrid between a classic shirt and a polo - it has a collar and cuffs of a former, but is only buttoned halfway down the front and has to be put on over one’s head as a latter.

Linen tie - it may sound a little bit crazy. We have all heard that the best ties are made only from silk, right?
