We present five essential wardrobe staples that every discerning man should have—ranging from well-crafted denim trousers and classic chambray shirts to luxurious cashmere sweaters, waxed jackets, and handmade shoes. These pieces are not only stylish but also practical, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
1. Raw denim jeans
A pair of well made denim trousers is always a good investment as they last longer and can be repaired endlessly. Preferably a selvedge fabric, as these trousers are woven in the traditional way, providing higher quality and better durability. Whether you prefer washed denim for a softer feel or raw denim to create a unique, personal wear pattern over time, these trousers will develop a patina that gives each pair a unique character.
A durable and classic everyday shirt is an essential item in every wardrobe, something we all need for a timeless and versatile style. The chambray shirt, with its sturdy yet lightweight weave, is an absolute classic that only gets better with age. Over time and with regular wear, it develops a softness and a natural patina that gives the shirt a unique character. Its versatility makes it a perfect choice for both casual and more dressed-up occasions, and it will remain a favourite in your wardrobe for a long time to come.
There is a wide range of knitted sweaters and different materials to choose from, but we particularly recommend cashmere or a cashmere blend for its unparalleled comfort and versatility. Cashmere, known for its softness and luxurious feel, offers excellent insulation to keep you warm on cold days while being light enough to breathe, keeping you cool when the temperature rises. A cashmere sweater is not just an elegant addition to your wardrobe but also an investment in quality and comfort that you can enjoy year after year.
Durable, water-repellent and breathable – a wax jacket is designed to offer superior protection against the elements. It keeps you both dry and warm for a long time. By regularly waxing the jacket and carrying out necessary repairs, you will be able to enjoy its functionality and style for many years to come. With proper care, it becomes a reliable companion through all seasons, and its timeless design will remain part of your wardrobe for a long time.
We believe in building from the ground up. Not only will a pair of handmade shoes most likely be more well made, but they are also designed to mold to your feet and become your most comfortable shoes over time. By choosing handmade shoes, you not only get a stylish and durable item, but also a unique fit that provides exceptional comfort. These shoes offer a sense of security and down-to-earth elegance, and over time will develop a personal touch that reflects your style and experience.
Thank you, good quality product. And good price. Long time shipping. Short information from the sealer. But everything correct.

The purchase experience has been very good, if I have put five stars is because I think the delivery time could be improved a little.

Très bon service client : J'avais commandé un polo et ai constaté au bout d'une semaine qu'il avait été livré par erreur à une mauvaise adresse. J'ai contacté Care of Carl par mail et ai reçu par retour une réponse de Christian. Celui-ci a fait le nécessaire pour me faire livrer de nouveau très rapidement pour ne pas rater l'anniversaire du destinataire du cadeau. Accessoirement, Care of Carl offre un grand choix d'articles de qualité à des prix raisonnables.

La bonne taille, le bon service et le juste prix. Un autre site un peu moins cher mais la chemise en custom fit au lieu de slim fit.
