How’d you get into men’s fashion?

I grew up in the Netherlands and everyone dresses well over there. When I was 15, I started wearing collared shirts and blazers because everyone around me was.

I’ve worn chelsea boots at age 16 because I saw kids older than me wearing them at school. So I’ve always had fashion forward items in my wardrobe but it usually wasn’t a coherent outfit. It was all thrown together like an omelette with veggies, cheese and onions.

Fit is so crucial for business casual and formalwear, especially for someone like you who travels, hosts parties and does plenty of public speaking. Do you struggle with finding clothes that fit?

For the longest time I would walk around the mall and visit several stores to find the perfect shirt. I’ve wasted days doing this only to learn that most brands don’t fit me off the rack.

I have short arms so sleeves are always too long. It’s the same thing for the inseam of pants and length of shirts. Once I accepted that nothing off the rack fits me, I started to accept that everything I buy will always have a $15+ tailor tax and shopping became fun again.

There are two places where I can fit perfect fitting clothing: Japan and MrPorter.com. Japan is a fashion heaven for menswear. Some of my unique and most complimented garments were bought there.

The great thing is that almost everything fits me off the rack. Their sizing is made for shorter men like you and me.

On MrPorter.com most garments have measurements. I bought a measure tape and once I got my measurements, I had my assistant find the perfect garments.
