Permanent Style, Issue 4

Permanent Style is a global authority on classic and luxury menswear. One of the biggest such sites in the world, it is read by over 2 million unique users every year.

Founded by professional journalist and editor Simon Crompton, Permanent Style has been listed as one of the best men’s sites in the world by GQ, Esquire, The Times, How to Spend It, The New York Times and many others.

Since its launch in 2007, Permanent Style has grown largely on the back of word-of-mouth recommendations by men looking for real journalism and intelligent advice on style and luxury clothing. Simon’s background and unique access to industry figures have enabled him to assess everything from the best bespoke tailors to the value chain in luxury retail, giving his followers unvarnished reports and in-depth analysis.

In this issue:

At its heart is an exploration of the emerging Los Angeles menswear scene with articles on the young denizens of new LA style, local manufacturing and in-depth profiles on two men who have helped shape how men dress since the 90s: supermodel John Pearson and Academy Award-winning costume designer Mark Bridges.

Crowning our coverage is the cover story – a rare interview with the co-founders of one of modern menswear’s most exciting brands, Buck Mason.

As always, there’s plenty to savour for lovers of tailoring and craft, including a review of a Gieves & Hawkes overcoat, seasonal guides to gloves and black tie and a special four-piece glossy feature on Scottish makers and traditions – with breathtaking landscape shots from our regular photographer Alex Natt.

But the section that might grab the eye is our new 14 page spread of autumn/winter outfits for inclement weather. Styled by the PS team and shot by new collaborator Will Milligan, the PS Lookbook aims to provide readers with inspiration on what to wear as the nights draw in.
