How tailoring is worn today - with Saman Amel

Author Simon Crompton interviews Swedish duo Saman Amel about how they style suits and find customers wearing their tailoring today - in different jobs, in different situations.
The lack of a coherent dress code in modern offices does not mean men will wear tailoring less. It just means they have more choice.
And Saman and Dag find that their customers are both bankers dressing down (not in a suit, but not in a polo either) and tech workers dressing up.
There's a middle ground, where choice breeds uncertainty, but men always want to look good and to impress.

Is Dag’s collar driving anyone else crazy?
I hate it when collars get caught and collapse underneath the the jacket

Nic holas Yes he might as well wear a tie if you’re going to wear a suit and your not sitting outside a cafe in southern Italy in 40 degree heat!

What fabric is the suiting Dag is wearing? If my eyes don't deceive me I would guess it's a linen blend?
Thank you in advance.

[@PermanentStyleLondon]

Yes, 9cm width, standard length, and yes light pink shirt - and of course a Saman Amel jacket!

we can clearly see how suit supply took a lot of inspiration from saman amel in recent years

[@PermanentStyleLondon]

Yes, very true. They are the kind of company that takes a lot of 'inspiration' from elsewhere

Simon's shirt colar makes these guys look dated.

I'm not artistic whatsoever so have difficulty putting together an outfit. I hope the suit doesn't go because all I can put together is what someone else has.

[@PermanentStyleLondon]

it is hard. Hopefully brands like Saman Amel and the advice on PermanentStyle.com can help in that regard. Do have a look at the Lookbook section under 'Style' for instance
