Who isn\u2019t? Why not have less clutter on the planet? And believe me, though I don\u2019t participate in it, I understand the market for fast fashion. I never want to judge people who are on a budget but need clothes. Still, it\u2019s important for all industries to do their best within reason and for there to be enough sustainable brands to balance sometimes necessary problematicness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swedish clothier Asket is one of those brands. After scrutinizing their collection over the past few months, I\u2019ve found them to be unique. I\u2019ll get into that in the review itself, but they\u2019re more me from a style perspective. Are they more you, though? Moreover, do they cater to where you fall on the modest-man height spectrum?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been wearing these clothes for a good two months now.

They wanted the brand to focus on trend-resistant designs that are well-fitting but not boring. Perhaps most importantly, they focused on sustainability. Asket was, and is, meant to have the environment at the heart of the business, not simply greenwashing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pursuit Of Less is a brand trademark for Asket\u2019s sustainability initiatives. It avoids limited drops and seasonal collections, instead focusing on essentials. The footprint of every garment is tracked and calculated in an attempt to contribute less to landfills (and more quality to your closet). Asket even offers repair and return programs and access to your progress report on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve done some research; I looked into several third-party qualifiers and read the progress report on the website. Of course, no brand can achieve 100% sustainability. However, Asket might be as good as it gets. They get high ratings on their relationship with the planet, animals, and workers.\u00a0 Even the packaging my clothes arrived in was sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I appreciate the overall transparency and the pursuit of improvement. That being the case, I do believe Asket meets the environmental part of the brand promise. But what about the style and quality part?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-asket-hands-on-review-what-i-tried-and-overview\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Asket_Hands-on_Review_What_I_Tried_and_Overview\"><\/span>Asket Hands-on Review: What I Tried and Overview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Asket-Brand-Label-on-Shirt-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Asket Brand Label on Oxford Shirt with Blue Stripes\" class=\"wp-image-600718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Asket-Brand-Label-on-Shirt-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Asket-Brand-Label-on-Shirt-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Asket-Brand-Label-on-Shirt-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Asket-Brand-Label-on-Shirt-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Asket-Brand-Label-on-Shirt.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9TheModestMan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the pieces I\u2019ve been wearing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/asket-oxford-shirt-blue-stripes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"573525\" data-lasso-name=\"Asket - Oxford Shirt Blue Stripes\">The Oxford Shirt, Blue Stripe<\/a>, XS, Regular<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/asket-slim-jeans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"573526\" data-lasso-name=\"Asket - Slim Jeans\">The Slim Jeans, Raw Denim<\/a>, W28-L30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/asket-slim-chino-beige\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"573527\" data-lasso-name=\"Asket - Slim Chino Beige\">The Slim Chino, Beige<\/a>, W28-L30<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, from a style perspective, Asket gives you what they say they will. These are fad-proof pieces, both in looks and fit, that aren\u2019t irrelevant. Yes, they\u2019re classic, but they aren\u2019t musty. I\u2019d say that even if you prefer trendy clothes, you can work these guys into your wardrobe as solid anchors \u2014 if you like trends, then you know it\u2019s all about styling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I love most about Asket\u2019s designs is that they achieve that organic aesthetic you often get from sustainable, slow fashion brands. However, unlike so many, it\u2019s not \u201ccrunchy\u201d looking. Personally, I\u2019m not really into granola, folksy fashion. It\u2019s a more natural, harmoniously minimal, and well-grounded look; it\u2019s very Swedish. This also makes it very universal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as far as the quality of construction, I give these clothes an A+. You can feel how well-built they are upon initial try-on. You\u2019ll see what I mean when I get into specifics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-build\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Build\"><\/span>My Build<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1697\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Karlton-Miko-Tyack-Build.jpg\" alt=\"Karlton Wearing Asket Shrt and Sweater\" class=\"wp-image-600720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Karlton-Miko-Tyack-Build.jpg 1697w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Karlton-Miko-Tyack-Build-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Karlton-Miko-Tyack-Build-1024x603.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Karlton-Miko-Tyack-Build-768x453.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Karlton-Miko-Tyack-Build-1536x905.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1697px) 100vw, 1697px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9TheModestMan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m 5\u20197\u201d and a half (easily 5&#8217;8&#8243; and up in shoes) and 130 lbs at my fittest.

I ordered it in an extra small size and a regular length. I figured that, this way, I could wear it tucked in or not. I also went for the blue stripe variation, though there are several offered. Of course, there\u2019s blue, white, gray, and a gray stripe. There\u2019s also a dark navy and a dark green, which would look fantastic in the autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quality-and-style\">Quality and Style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Collar.jpg\" alt=\"View of The Asket Oxford Shirt's Collar Button\" class=\"wp-image-600725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Collar.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Collar-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Collar-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Collar-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Collar-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9TheModestMan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to be effusive, but the first time I put this Oxford on, I literally said, \u201cWow, this is a good shirt.\u201d As in, out loud. My dog thought I was talking to him. I immediately felt how soft it was, as if someone gently wore it in before me. However, it was also perfectly structured. It\u2019s an effective balance of crisp and effortless that you want from an OCBD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was because there\u2019s clever, selective double-stitching where it matters the most. It\u2019s on the inner edge of the cuff where it meets the sleeve and on the sides. Meanwhile, the cotton itself (100% organic, of course) is pre-brushed. This ups the softness, breathability, and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, Asket combined comfortable and durable cotton with a comfortable and fortified composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a style perspective, I\u2019ve worn this shirt in every dress code except for extra formal ones. It\u2019s what I like to call elegant smart casual. The stripes are soft, resulting in an obvious pattern, but one that isn\u2019t overly bold. Even more, the mother-of-pearl buttons really elevate the shirt without taking it out of the running for casual outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s become my go-to shirt for weekends. It pairs beautifully with chinos, jeans, shorts, <keyword data-keyword-id=\"55039\">sneakers<\/keyword>, loafers \u2014 you name it. And again, the regular length looks fantastic, tucked in or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve even worn it to work with a suit and tie. However, I avoid wearing it on extra formal days, such as meetings with major clients in the boardroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-the-asket-oxford-modest-man-friendly\">Is The Asket Oxford Modest-Man-Friendly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Cuff.jpg\" alt=\"Close up View of The Asket Oxford Shirt's Cuff\" class=\"wp-image-600728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Cuff.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Cuff-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Cuff-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Cuff-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Oxford-Shirt-Cuff-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9TheModestMan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, absolutely. I ordered the extra small with a regular length. There\u2019s also a short and a long, the former for shirts you never want to tuck and the latter for shirts you always want to tuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, as an extra-thin gent at 5\u20197\u201d, the extra-small fit perfectly, though it was a touch short on the sleeve. I actually like this style because I prefer it when my watch doesn\u2019t tuck into the sleeve too deeply. And yes, I know technically it should tuck in completely. It\u2019s one sartorial rule I don\u2019t mind breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, that being the case, the extra small will likely fit guys even below the 5\u20195\u201d &#8211; 5\u20194\u201d mark. And of course, you can always go for a short cut instead of a regular, and wear it <em>like<\/em> a regular.

I received it in beige, which also has a bit of an olive undertone. However, it also comes in black, navy, khaki green, and taupe. Green and taupe offer the most obviously military-like aesthetic. I went for a 28 waist, the smallest option, and a 30 length, the middle ground option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quality-and-style-0\">Quality and Style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Chino-Pockets.jpg\" alt=\"Asket Beige Slim Chino's Back Pockets\" class=\"wp-image-600731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Chino-Pockets.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Chino-Pockets-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Chino-Pockets-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Chino-Pockets-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Chino-Pockets-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9TheModestMan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Asket makes this chinos mostly of organic cotton. The other part of the recipe here is 2% elastane, which provides just a bit of stretch. I like this in a chino. It\u2019s hard-wearing enough, but the added comfort and mobility brings the construction into the 21st century. It\u2019s not a hybrid pant, but its slight elasticity makes it more versatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2% is a sweet spot that doesn\u2019t compromise the rugged build we want from traditional chinos. Moreover, this allows a bit of give in the waistband for those of us still working off some holiday pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stitching is perfectly on-point, and the belt loops, side seams, and hems boast different kinds of fortification. Meanwhile, the overlapping button and hook combination ensures a solid closure. Overall, it\u2019s a well-built chino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can wear these pants as you would any chino: As part of a broken suit, with a polo or t-shirt, and in a workwear context. I mentioned that the beige has a slight olive undertone to it. I like this added cool tone. It allows you to wear it in a military-esque context (say, with a utility shirt or trench), as well as with academic vibes (with forest green tweed, perhaps).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also enjoy the midweight cotton sateen. It provides a slight sheen, which balances the rugged look. This is why wearing these chinos with a suit jacket or blazer is so easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-the-asket-slim-chino-modest-man-friendly\">Is The Asket Slim Chino Modest-Man-Friendly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1005\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Chino-Sizing.jpg\" alt=\"Karlton Miko Tyack wearing The Asket Slim Chinos with brown shoes\" class=\"wp-image-600733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Chino-Sizing.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Chino-Sizing-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Chino-Sizing-768x772.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9TheModestMan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most part, yes. I went for the 30 length, and it fits classically, with a break by my shoes. It isn\u2019t slim in the early 2020s way, but it\u2019s certainly a trend-resistant look \u2014 which is Asket\u2019s whole mission. Plus, that level of slimness isn\u2019t in style right now, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re around 5\u20195\u201d, just go for the 28 length; if you fall below that, you might need to get the pants hemmed, which is easy and truly no big deal. I get most of my pants hemmed myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between the mid-rise waist and tapered but not skinny cut, these pants are universally flattering, in my opinion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-asket-slim-jeans-in-raw-denim\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Asket_Slim_Jeans_in_Raw_Denim\"><\/span>The Asket Slim Jeans in Raw Denim<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1175\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Jeans-in-Raw-Denim.jpg\" alt=\"Karlton wearing The Asket Slim Jeans with brown shoes\" class=\"wp-image-600735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Jeans-in-Raw-Denim.jpg 1175w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Jeans-in-Raw-Denim-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Jeans-in-Raw-Denim-1024x871.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Jeans-in-Raw-Denim-768x654.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1175px) 100vw, 1175px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9TheModestMan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/asket-slim-jeans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"573530\" data-lasso-name=\"Asket - Slim Jeans\">Asket Slim Jeans<\/a> are made of dark, raw denim and are even sewn in Italy.

It\u2019s what Swiss watchmaking is to jeans. Of course, it\u2019s made out of 100% organic cotton. I know there\u2019s a lot of stretchy denim pants on the market right now, and there\u2019s a place for them. But truly, selvedge, with its unique personality, ability to patinate, and resistance to unraveling, provides you with a forever pair of jeans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything seam is tightly woven, from the double-stitched pockets to the fortified interiors on the legs. I will say that the all-button fly isn\u2019t the most convenient, but it\u2019s certainly traditional and gives the pants a lot of character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though I\u2019m not a big jeans guy, it\u2019s been really easy to wear these pants. You can style raw denim in smart casual situations, with workwear, and even Western looks. It\u2019s incredibly timeless, and the gold stitching is just so darn charming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, raw denim is super sustainable since it reduces chemical usage and water waste. Even though I\u2019m not huge on jeans, I\u2019ve always wanted to get <em>one<\/em> pair of good denim pants since jeans are a menswear staple. I think I found them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-the-slim-jeans-modest-man-friendly\">Is The Slim Jeans Modest-Man-Friendly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"991\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Jeans-Fitting-1024x991.jpg\" alt=\"Karlton Miko Tyack wearing The Asket Slim Chinos with brown shoes\" class=\"wp-image-600738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Jeans-Fitting-1024x991.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Jeans-Fitting-300x290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Jeans-Fitting-768x743.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Asket-Slim-Jeans-Fitting.jpg 1033w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9TheModestMan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I have the exact same notes on the fit here as I do with the chinos. It\u2019s more of a clean, regular cut than what some might consider slim. However, it looks even better on the jeans than it does on the chinos. Jeans are meant to have a relaxed look, after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, the lines are neat, allowing you to wear these pants casually or in a smart casual dress code with a button-down and unstructured blazer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion-is-asket-for-you\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_Is_Asket_for_You\"><\/span>Conclusion: Is Asket for You?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, there\u2019s no denying that Asket makes quality garments. They\u2019re a solid choice if you\u2019re looking for essentials. Truly, their Oxford shirt is one of my favorite OCBDs I\u2019ve ever worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m mostly impressed with their genuine commitment to the environment. And not just that, but how they manage to connect that with offering pretty great style \u2014 their use of raw denim, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fits are mostly modest-man-friendly, especially the shirts. Fortunately, the pants are easy to hem. These pants are pretty high-quality and worth the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>What do you think of Asket?

He was born in LA, studied art history in Boston, and is a lover of rugby, football, and optimism. Background: Karlton studied art in Boston while working in local galleries. This led to a career in corporate art consulting, hunting down the perfect pieces for specific brand or business. Transitioning into freelance writing, he moved back to his hometown of Los Angeles, where he managed top accounts with art publisher TASCHEN. His clientele included prominent names in fashion, luxury, and sports. He then moved to NYC to work as a client liaison at Sotheby\u2019s auction house in New York, where he worked with collectors of fine art, as well as watches, wine, and whiskey. A lifelong watch enthusiast, Karlton has worked with quality timepieces of all price points and calibers, vintage and contemporary. Tyack\u2019s watch obsession began when he received an Omega Seamaster for his 15th birthday. Expertise: Through his work in fine art and with Sotheby's auction house, Karlton has developed a deep knowledge of timepieces, whiskey and menswear. He's written for publishers like LA Weekly and Harvard. Here at TMM, Karlton covers watches and men's fashion.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/miko.canterbury\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/karltonmikotyack\/?hl=en","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/karlton-miko-tyack-4b29b49\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/author\/karlton\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review-600x400.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review-600x600.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Karlton Miko Tyack","author_link":"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/author\/karlton\/"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review.jpg",1280,1280,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review-250x250.jpg",250,250,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review-768x768.jpg",768,768,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review-1024x1024.jpg",1024,1024,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review.jpg",1280,1280,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review.jpg",1280,1280,false],"featured-image":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review-590x590.jpg",590,590,true],"featured-outfit":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review-650x880.jpg",650,880,true],"gb-block-post-grid-landscape":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review-600x400.jpg",600,400,true],"gb-block-post-grid-square":["https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Spring-Asket-Review-600x600.jpg",600,600,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Karlton Miko Tyack","author_link":"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/author\/karlton\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"I\u2019ve been wearing clothes from the environmentally minded Asket brand.
