Boxing at Olympics Games London 2012

Boxing can also be a stylish game, please have a look at a vintage picture which we found in the same book about men's fashion history by Farid Chenoune.

In this picture the boxer Lepreux is in the training, 1913.

Jacques Vache wrote to his mother: '' Dearest Mother, I have received the knitted vest thank you very much, it fits perfectly''.

Today our mothers do not have time to knit for us but we have Fox Hunt bespoke knitwear service. Traditional knitting starts to be popular again.



Tennis Olympics 2012 London

Tennis always used to be a stylish game, have a look at a classic jumper with a v- neck. This is a perfect look for Olympics Games 2012 London.

We will have Wimbledon full of tennis fans (hopefully dressed with classic pullovers) during the period of 28th July- 5th August, 2012. We can not wait!

Be stylish while playing golf. Have a look at some vintage pictures form the book 'A history of men's fashion' by Farid Chenoune

Men in handmade knitwear looks amazing. Timeless clothing are created by hand and not mass-produced.

Stylish Sport- Golf

I have found some golf vintage pictures. I believe that all these handknitted jumpers looks a lot better than todays golf clothing.

I would suggest for our famous golfer Webb Simpson to wear handmade knitwear.




Favourite Quote by Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs:
Innovations distinguishes between the leader and follower.

Instinct

Men are hunting: animals, money, women, recognition. This is just for fulfilling the needs.

Fox Hunt Menswear for real hunters.

Mathematical Success

If we compare two types of people: who are prone to mathematical subjects and people who are more into arts. Which type do you think is more likely to give up on a dream?

Friend of mine once asked me this question. When it comes to myself, my educational background is engineering and from my own experience I know that if I fail I will do it again till I succeed.
This is similar to a maths exercises, if you are interested, want to learn and find a solution to a problem you  will redo it again and again. Because you are aware of first, second, etc time failure.

This is completely opposite with people from artistic background. They are just too emotional and can not cope with a failure. After trying once they just give up as they have never solved a maths problem.

This is what you pay for success: time. You repeat everything again trying to find different approach from the other angle to a problem. This is how you build your stamina, knowledge and success.



Young Men


Boys dressed in handmade knitwear. They have big dreams, want to be successful, influential publics figures.

Soon thay finds out how being different can cotribute to your success.

Uniqueness makes you stand out from the crowd, helps to be recognized by the others.

People are usually attracted to what makes you opposite from the others.





Dress for Success

French poet and art critic Charles Baudelaire used to say - 'dress for success'.

All successful men: famous politicians, business owners, etc usually dress well and have exceptional style. Well-dressed man looks more powerful and influential. Style and manners helps to succeed.

It is important for every man to have a bespoke suit made in Savile Row, made just for him, a personal barber and a knitter who creates custom made knitwear for sports and leisure activities.



Charles Baudelaire


Men Knitwear We Love

Some men knitwear we particarly like from the  autumn/ winter 2012/2013 collections.




Burberry

please notice the color combination and interesting neck shape.




Botegga Veneta

we particularly like the different pattern combination. during the Second World War there was a shortage of clothing and people used to sew and combine different pieces from old clothing to make a new piece, it was not considered to be stylish. but now looking at the old pictures we get inspired by these days. Today some things which are considered to be luxury goods or services used to be the lifestyle of poor people while ago.






Dries Van Notten

we like the combination of patterns and color







Missoni




Simon Spurr

chunky knitts are always in fashion. they makes you feel warm and stylish during cold winter.

why high street fashion is evil?

recently I have wrote an article for WWF's Earth Book 2012, just some thought about mass produced fashion and endless consumption causing fashion pollution:

I am studying Environmental Engineering at UCL in London. My goal is to encourage people to live sustainable and contribute towards saving our natural resources. I am environmental activist who dedicates time for volunteering and helping to preserve urban nature every year.

Living in a big city London, I have noticed that people are tend to consume more unnecessary products rather than people who lives in small towns. They are tend to buy everything impulsively ending up with goods they actually do not need. The main hazard becomes fashion as people buy too much cheap clothing which they use only one time. Usually this is not because they do not have money for clothing they just want to wear it once. 'Quick fashion' creates massive landfills considering the materials, labour and energy that are involved in making one-time-piece.

Urban pollution has encouraged me to create a sustainable clothing brand- Julija Handmade. The brand that specializes in custom made knitwear. Clothing are completely handmade created from organic materials without using any energy resources.

I want to teach people how to take care of their belongings and pollute less by changing their perception towards fashion and lifestyle.

My message to people worldwide: do not be a fashion victim and consumer without an opinion. Buy less clothing and make them last longer. Do not create additional waste around you.
today high street fashion is dominant in the industry. the majority of young men follows the casual streetwear trends. they have lost the contact with tailors and personal knitters. everyone have became monotonous by looking the same. a shop should not dictate your style.

FROM FOX HUNT MENSWEAR ARCHYVES

style is not about having loads of different clothing it is about having few pieces which fit well.

personalized clothing makes you stand out.

Hand knitting used to be as a daily routine. Today the traditional craft started dissapearing significantly.

Mass production has destroyed people's perception and appreciation of custom made clothing.
