The wonderful presentation of E. TAUTZ was one of the highlights of this week’s “menswear day” at the end of London Fashion Week. The fifteen nicely classic looks were presented in a little runway show on Savile Row, with head of house Mr. PATRICK GRANT providing live commentary for the garments such as this “hand sewn HARRIS tweed kilt with grey cashmere crew neck sweater and hand knitted kilt hose”, the last point referring to the amazing tasselled socks. All materials were of course sourced from traditional suppliers in Scotland and Wales. For some more looks from the E. TAUTZ collection, click on the image above.

N° 14
AUTUMN & WINTER 2011
The new, 14th issue of FANTASTIC MAN features the phenomenal fashion designer Mr. RAF SIMONS on the cover. Photographed at his home in Antwerp, RAF is seen wearing select pieces by RAF SIMONS and JIL SANDER – both brands he designs for. Other interesting men profiled in this issue include: the fabulous magician Mr. DAVID COPPERFIELD, the interior-decorator extraordinaire Mr. RICKY CLIFTON and the hailed London-based chef Mr. YOTAM OTTOLENGHI. Furthermore, FANTASTIC MAN explores new grounds in CHINA through a 37-page fashion reportage inspired by the stylistic characteristics of the men of Beijing. The remainder of the 268-page issue is full of absorbing stories, photographs of some gloriously useless PAPERWEIGHTS, style investigations, tips and tricks for the upcoming Autumn and Winter seasons, and a delightful new format in which we have conducted insightful conversations with three gentlemen of note: KIM JONES, DIRK SCHÖNBERGER and JOHNNY MARR, the famed guitarist of THE SMITHS. This new section is aptly titled ‘THE CONVERSATIONS’. Order now

Furthermore, after a two-year hiatus, BUTT 29 is here. The extra thick, double issue is spread out over 144 pink pages. This issue of BUTT is a gay guy's A-to-Z of hot and fascinating homos.

when will i see you in a kilt?
Worldmanabouttown:
I can’t remember how many times kilts tried to make it to the fashion mainstream consciousness and failed. They seem to come back every few years or so but don’t stick. However, the designs by E. Tautz on the website are much nicer! They are not exactly new, and owe much to Marc Jacobs and Thom Browne, but they are good nonetheless.

Style Salvage Steve:
Savile Row is at the heart of everything that E. Tautz. The timeless, simple elegance of the cut, and the relentless pursuit of the highest standards of make. Since relaunching the brand Patrick Grant has been able to inject so much more life in to Churchill’s favourite tailor.
