There are some things that transition well from Winter to Summer, your suit isn’t one of them. Most Fall/Winter suits are made of heavier fabrics and come fully lined to help keep you insulated during those treacherous winter months. That is definitely not what you need during the Summer months. In summer you want a suit that will be light weight, breaths and keeps you cool as you galavant around town on your trendy speed cycle. These suits from Tiger of Sweden are great cotton and linen blends and come 1/4 lined making them extremely light weight and great for the office or even a casual summer wedding. The light colour pallet is on trend with this season and offers the wearer great versatility to mix and match. The best part about these suits is that they can be worn together or be deconstructed and worn as separates. Match the blazer with a nice pair of jean or throw on a great polo to match the “chino” like trousers.

Anderson’s was founded in the mid 1960’s by Mr. Carlo Valenti who got all his training in the world o belt making for a very famous leather factory in Parma. After gaining enough knowledge, he decided to go into business for himself and opened up Anderson’s. Wondering where he came up with that name?! Well, being an Anglophile, Mr. Valenti was very fond of hats and wore suits by English tailor ‘Anderson and Sheppard’… that’s how the name ‘Anderson’s’ came to life.
Anderson’s is now one of the leading accessories companies in Italy and maybe the oldest men’s belt manufactorer in Europe. With the wolrd as their oyster they have truly made the name Anderson’s synonymous with the highest quality of design and manufacturing, combining modern techniques with the experience and tradition of the “Parma leather artisans”.
Today, this family run business is helmed by son Riccardo and daughter Elisabetta and continues to strive to produce the highest quality belts you will ever own.
Anderson’s is a real family business, proud to still be owned and run by the original family and is still – after more than 45 years – based in Parma, Italy, where 100% of belts are manufactured by 50 employees. Production takes place exclusively at the laboratories in Parma (historically well known for the manufacturing of shoes and leather goods), where each individual operation is supervised by expert craftsmen. Each garment is made with knowledge and quality that has been passed on from generation to generation. The town Parma has been the birthplace of high quality Italian belts and Anderson’s pieces are one of its outstanding products. Our heritage is evident in placing values on material, sewing, processing and workmanship passed on over generations within our family. That’s why all our products are entirely handmade in Italy using premium quality leathers and fabrics for belts manufactured with highest standards and craftsmanship.
Blue Industry strikes their target spot on with distinctly wearable and sporty separates. Characterized by a slim silhouette and masculine textiles, the line’s individual elements are compelling enough to stand alone, yet layer exceptionally well. Classically cut shirts, jackets and knits share an obvious connection; they are all designed with purpose and precision to imbue the wearer with confidence in their sartorial status- even when they miss target practice.
