Mr. Jarosław Szychułda measuring me up for a Thomas Mason Giza45 S120s oxford shirt
Mr. Jarosław Szychułda, founder of Polish shirtmaking company Emmanuel Berg, paid us a visit two days ago!
We spent hours talking ties, shirts, fabrics and other random stuff. Almost thirty years in the industry, and he continues to exude such a strong passion for his product and the trade. Truly inspirational.
Somehow we ended up unintentionally ‘exchanging’ our goods for an MTM shirt from him. If you have access to an Emmanuel Berg store, I urge you to check out their RTW/MTM shirt offerings. Exceptional quality and tremendous value!

We’re happy you love your new loot, David!
It is true - the Blue White Plaid tie made of wool and linen is perfect for Spring!
Another order from Vanda Fine Clothing came in. The service and product is impeccable as always. Of particular note is the tie, which is just absolutely fantastic. If you could see it in person, you would run to purchase one of the 12 that remain.

Blast from the past - early 2011: Fast forward to today & the men of The Rake are no longer there, Gerald & Diana (partner in life & crime) are living their dream producing beautiful hand made ties & accessories under www.vandafineclothing.com.. & I no longer have to wear ties or suits..
Day 2 & all is good in the land of humidity & heat..
* had drinks with the men of The Rake then caught up with a my good friend Gerald who will be embarking on a very exciting sartorial project in SIN - stay tuned..
Good times!
Interestingly enough, I distinctly recalled Guido asking me early last year what I planned to do upon graduation. This was way before we envisioned Vanda Fine Clothing, but I jokingly replied “make ties!” - and look where we are today!
