Diplomatic Ties 469: HN White
Last day in Stockholm for some time. Tomorrow I’m off to a new posting in Brussels. Rainy and windy, but so is Brussels as well today. Maiden voyage for a new tie from HN White, a brand that continues to convince me. This one is an Irish poplin (the spot on the tie in a couple of the pics is just rain). Suit from LBM 1911, bespoke shirt, tie from HN White, Poszetka ps and shoes from Carmina. Scent: Nicolaï Parfumeur New York Intense.
