Shibumi Berlin handmade ties
Tie is not an item you have to try on. There is no problem with items that do not fit you or your size. As most menswear accessories you can easily buy it and not worry about how it will fit.

Fall has come (PL)
Fall has finally came. Eventhough it still might me around 18-19 degrees in London this month there is no way you can feel it. Wind became stronger and colder.
