A little late this year, but hopefully this year’s A/W highlights has something for everyone - mid to high price, smart and casual, classic and modern. There’s a particular influence from being in New York recently, and a surprising amou...

My feelings haven't really changed Daniel, I still love it and think it might be the best of that style of cord jacket I've ever tried. The colour is great with blacks, browns, dark jeans. Not quite so good with greys an...

When I walk around Pitti each season, interviewing makers and researching articles, it can be easy to feel lost in a flood of Italian cashmere and trainers that look like each other. For that reason there are a handful of brands I return to every t...

I wouldn't roll them up, at least on my cord one, as it would be too thick. On thinner materials you could turn them back, yes...
Luxury chore coats compared
By Manish Puri Not all chores are made equal. Some take longer, some require more exertion, and some involve going out into the cold. On a typical weekend you’ll find me frantically searching for loopholes in the chivalric code so I can cherry...

I actually think that's quite a nice mix for something like this that is meant to be technical, so more water resistant. It feels nice. I found it a bit too short for me, but then I'm above average height so it's always ...
Artists’ clothing: Comfortable, practical, modern
By Tony Sylvester Sitting down to write today, I am wearing my favourite recent piece of clothing. Brand new from Bryceland’s, the knee-length linen Farmer’s Smock (below) might be a bit of a departure from what you expect from the desig...

I inadvertently dressed this way and then it became trendy… I think there is something with being innately rebellious Englishman that makes you want to throw out the suit and tie and grab something you can actually liv...
Transforming ends, scraps and waste: Yves Salomon...
How far is it possible to make a coat lining with shreds, off-cuts and otherwise wasted pieces of fur? When I made a lining for my M65 field jacket two years ago , the thing that attracted me most was the idea of re-using fur that would otherwise go...

Just before Christmas, I took my belted coat into Whitcomb & Shaftesbury to have it converted into a normal overcoat. As detailed on my original article, this was always a possibility. I began the experiment of a bespoke wrap coat with the...

If you like the style and nothing else really works in the same way, then yes I think it's good. I'd go for wool I think. I'm not sure you'd notice much difference for 500 extra...
How to wear a horsehide jacket: Armoury x Real Mc...
I’ve never had a horsehide jacket before. I did have an old, vintage one rom RRL a few years ago, but it was so old and soft that it felt nothing like this, like new horsehide. To be honest, I’d been rather put off by the styling of hors...

Motorcycle jackets, especially the Schott Perfecto are designed to be a functional, one-specific product designed in a way that they only fit properly when in the riding position. I guess that's why they often look a lit...

The Armoury really inspired me (as it did many others) when it started out in Hong Kong, and I still get particularly excited about having them in the pop-up shop. I was in there yesterday, looking through everything with Dick (Carroll, pictured bot...

Coherence: Vintage-inspired Japanese outerwear
When I first heard about and tried Cohérence outerwear last year, I wasn't sure it would be for me. I tend to favour outerwear that flatters the figure and creates a straight-cut silhouette. So long in the body, slim at the waist and high in...
