BLOG EVERYDAY CLASSIC

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?
