By Bernhard Roetzel. After I completed the Vienna shopping guide for Permanent Style recently, Simon and I got to talking about the menswear shop Knize. What is left today of the fame, the legend? I decided to travel to Austria to investigate, and interview Rudolf Niedersüß – the present owner...

Last year I got a motorbike – an electric model from the British company Maeving – mostly for commuting, and I’ve been enjoying it immensely. It’s also opened up a whole new world of menswear. I used to take the train or cycle to the office, with the decision largely...

This is one of the best-fitting bespoke jackets I've had in a while, a comfortable but really flattering cut, and very well executed. The cloth is also interesting.  I had known Ben Clarke was a talented cutter from the time he made a jacket and waistcoat for me during his...

This is a small, functional message, accompanied by a frankly knee-melting portrait of Manish. We’ve introduced a page on the Permanent Style shop called ‘Stock Updates’. You can find it - along with other useful links - at the footer of the website. The idea is to update it every time...

By Lucas Nicholson. Simon and I were talking the other day about a brand I was wearing – Original Fibres, as it happens. We often have these chats because while we have a strong overlap in the brands we like, we also differ.  I lean more casual in what I...

By Manish Puri “Remain dignified, dress well, be good to other people and you’ll be fine,” Manolo Blahnik, Spanish fashion designer From rugged mountains to lush, dense forests, Spain’s landscape is one of sharp contrasts: a description that could apply equally to its sartorial analogue. At one end of the...

We love a guayabera shirt at Permanent Style. On my 2022 trip to Mexico I picked up two lovely shirts which sadly, like the Cadbury’s Freddo, appear to have suffered from some form of sartorial shrinkflation. It can’t possibly be me that’s grown can it?! You can buy guayaberas in...

As per usual, I’m going on holiday with the family this August, and so for the next week Manish is taking over. I’m sure readers won’t be too sad about this, as there’s been a decided lack of Manish’s easy humour over the past few months.  Truth be told, he’s...
