Anonymous asked: Hi Jake, if this is a redundant question I apologize but I'm interested in how you were able to obtain most of the knowledge you have about menswear. I just recently got into a respectable menswear company after getting out of retail banking, tryna pursue my dreams. I learn a great deal at work but just trying to add to it as much as possible to get to where I want to be. Thanks!
Anonymous asked: Hey there! I recently bought a lovely unconstructed, soft shouldered DB blazer in a light grey, salt-and-peppery wool / cotton fabric, and I cannot, for the life of me, find a pocket square that would go with it (apart from my default solid white cotton hankies, of course). Any ideas? Greetings from Austria, and keep up the good work, -Andi
