Styleforum Classic Menswear

We are pleased to announce our new giveaway on the forum! It’s probably fair to say that it's been a trying month for everyone, ourselves included. While socially distancing and self-isolating, we got the chance to reflect on how important human connections are, even when through a computer monitor. This is our way to thank you for sticking with us and making lockdown more enjoyable. — This is a contest where everyone wins! We’ll be mailing #StyleForumApproved bracelets to every single participant. Plus, one lucky winner, selected at random, will get a @goodarthlywd rubber biscuit and a handmade Pietro Tucci Firenze leather pouch. — Enter the giveaway on the forum: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/styleforumapproved-contest.667291/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CCd8MHfgBhq/?igshid=12tk521bz99aj

A martingale is a half-belt applied on the back of a coat in order to adjust the waist of the garment. Its use dates back to the XVII century and the name comes most likely from “martigaux”, the inhabitants of Martigues in Provence, who used to wear trousers buttoned on the back. Would you wear a coat sporting this detail? — 📷: @pini.parma || Tag #Styleforum to be featured! https://www.instagram.com/p/B37M5wCi5kf/?igshid=1nfnp9n7xl9sp
