The beautiful face of the #nomos Worldtimer in true blue, one of the more unique takes on a GMT. Now I just need to travel more to put it to use.

P. Johnson Tailors in San Francisco

Over the past year or so, it seems that San Francisco has become a destination for many popular custom clothing companies - Steed visits SF regularly now, as does Ring Jacket, and Ambrosi and St. Crispins now stop by as well. The newest addition to that growing list is P. Johnson Tailors, the popular custom tailor out Australia known for their casual, comfortable aesthetic, lightweight construction, and approachable pricing. PJT is in town until 7pm today, and will be visiting every 2 months from here on out. It’s an exciting time to be a menswear enthusiast in San Francisco, that’s for sure. 

It was a great experience being measured by Remy at PJT’s outpost in San Francisco this weekend. This was a much more detailed and pleasantly paced session tha I am used to. I’m equally excited to know that they’ll be returning to San Francisco every two months. That’s a perfectly responsible cadence for new shirts and jackets. :)

I can’t wait for the first fitting in two months time. Thanks to fromsqualortoballer for the photos and words.

Fabric selection for our first collection: Speckled Grey, Bordeaux, Navy, & Racing Green. Our 100% cotton piqué is custom knit to our specifications at our manufacturing partner in Japan. Each of our solids are knit from two slightly different colored yarns creating a beautiful texture and depth of color in the fabric. gesta.lt
