Slowear

An old acquaintance and also the president of a big fashion group used to say that “it's not easy to be humble when you know that you are the best…”
Today he works in real estates. He is probably the best in that too, and if he were a bus driver or a computer sales man, he'd probably claim to be the best in that as well. In his mind he is most certain always the best…Well how about that!
It's not that easy to be the best, it takes time, practise, skills and dedication. Do you have what it takes? Sometimes you also need some help and connect with others that are also the best in their field to reach an even better level. Better than the best? Better than all the rest? Is that even possible?
Well maybe it is, take Slowear for example. Four brands that all are among the best in their product category gathered under one brandname. Incotex pants, Zanone knitwear, Glanshirt shirting and Montedoro jackets are the four collections that together represent the different variations of the Slowear style. Tailored or sportswear, extreme design or vintage inspired, no matter how you like to dress, you will always look both Smart AND Casual. Isn't that just the best!?
The best way of staying casual yet smart is to add a little contrast to your outfit, such as a pair of sneakers combined with your Incotex trouser and Zanone rollneck. The Farmers Market Pack from News Balance is a tribute to the 30th anniversary of the legendary Flimby New Balance factory in Cumbria. Waxed suede, plush nubuck, cotton canvas and woven tweed. Only the best fabrics made up in one shoe! Otherwise you can always go with any of the News Balance styles that are made in the USA, you know that big country south of Canada that just got Barack Obama re-elected as president. Isn't he just the best president!
Get down to the real Nitty Gritty of dressing smart and casual.

Shirting at its finest

Recently Levi Palmer paid us a visit in the Grit Girl Store for a meet and a talk to the Nitty Gritty Crew about his and Matthew Harding’s new work with their self titled brand palmer//harding. We are always honoured when international designers come all the way up to our northern outpost of the world just to see us.
DelSiena for Nitty Gritty
- Bits And Pieces
Like palmer//harding, we are also slightly obsessed with the traditional formal shirt for men. That's why we've tried to create the perfect custom shaped semi-formal shirt together with Italian shirt maker DelSiena. This season, like every season, they come in shades of white, grey and blue and classic shirt patterns such as striped and checkered.
