New magazine for British lifestyle in Germany: TWEED. A sneak peek.

From today on, German Anglophile gentlemen can share the pleasure of an exquisite read: 

TWEED Magazine. The magazine for British lifestyle.

The fist issue features the following topics:

-Outfit
-People
-Gear
-Life
-Event
-Motor
-Sports
-Travel
-Taste
-Living
-Service

Which is in my opinion the perfect mix.

It's quite too early for me to give you a detailed review, but what I see right now leads only to one recommendation for my German readers:

KAUFEN!
KAUFEN!

Book review: British Style (British Tradition and Interior Design) by Claudia Piras and Bernhard Roetzel

Dear readers,

most of us know Bernhard Roetzel as the author of "Gentleman - A Timeless Guide To Fashion", for me one of 2 leading books about clothes and style for men.

But did you know that Mr. Roetzel is co-author of a wonderful book called "British Style" (in Germany) or "British Tradition and Interior Design" (in the US and UK)?




This book takes you on a journey to british lifestyle and culture. On 340 pages you'll learn everything about Britain's architecture and history of palaces, mansions, manor and city houses, furniture and accessories, the Great Hall, dining rooms, living rooms, studies, country life, etc.

Fireplaces...

Bone china craftsmanship.

The dining room.

The full english breakfast.

Studies.

College life.

Timetable with monarchy, styles, historical events, arts and culture, science and technology, architecture and design, international sensations.


If you fancy british culture just like Bernhard Roetzel does, this book is a must-have for you.

Buy it at once!

Cheers
Mike

Meeting a legend: Heinz-Josef Radermacher

Dear readers,

I'm very proud to present some impressions of Düsseldorf's most famous bespoke tailor for suits and dress shirts: Heinz-Josef Radermacher.

As featured in Bernhard Roetzel's book "The Gentleman" (at least in the German edition), I always wanted to meet this gentleman. So today I took the chance (thanks to Jules) and did a photo shooting in this special location.

Please keep your eye on the studio's little details and enjoy the pictures.
