Jigsaw Menswear AW13 Preview (The Wooster Effect)

Back in January this year, in the midst of all the Tumblr coverage of Pitti Uomo something drew my attention and had me coming back for another look every day. The culprit, this incredible patchwork suit.

As a man of, what appears a similar shape and stature to myself (forgive me Nick for any crass assessment, fairly short and stocky) Nick Wooster is a constant source of inspiration for my own personal style. This suit is testament to the eclectic nature of the man himself, as a quick google search will show you, this gent has a tremendously varied wardrobe.

Since seeing this image I have been tirelessly trawling the web for something a kin to this awesome piece of tailoring.

Enter Jigsaw Menswear. Whether or not this image has directly influenced the designers at Jigsaw I can only assume but among their AW13 preview I spotted this.

That's not all. The rest of the collection is fantastic and I can see nod's to other elements of Nick's style too. Well done Jigsaw, and looking forward to seeing the collection up close.

The Autumn/Winter collection will be available in Jigsaw stores everywhere and online here.
