Simon’s sizing advice: Summer
April 25th 2025The winter version we did of this article - published back in November - was popular and has proved useful in conversations with readers since. So here’s the summer equivalent: between the two of them all PS products should be covered, and the...

The new Linen Overshirt in India
April 11th 2025I mentioned in the cotton-crewnecks article last week that I enjoyed wearing tan accessories a lot during my recent trip to India. This might seem like a small thing, but when you get into a routine with clothing, anything that suddenly gives a twis...

April 2nd 2025I’ve been surprised at how popular these cotton crewnecks have been among our friends: they rival the black/white Donegal for the PS piece I’ve seen worn most often. Perhaps it’s because a few of them run hot, and it’s a goo...

Pre-order open for Cashmere Crewnecks and Rugbys
March 17th 2025It was wonderful to see the response to the first pre-order a couple of weeks ago , for the Donegal coats and Indulgent Cardigans. The camelhair and dark-grey Donegal coats in particular have almost sold out (we only have a certain amount of cloth o...

Pre-order open on Donegals and Indulgent cardigans
March 3rd 2025The pre-order period starts today for two PS products: the Donegal raglan-sleeved overcoat and the 12-ply cashmere piece we call the Indulgent Shawl-Collar Cardigan . The point of doing a pre-order is that it enables us to offer more colours and mor...

The versatility of the camel coat
February 28th 2025The pre-order for the PS Donegal coats, including this one, will open on Monday. Details in an article then. Instinctively, you wouldn't think a camel-coloured coat (whether actual camelhair or not) would be that versatile. It's not the business s...

Spring/Summer 25 on the Permanent Style shop
February 14th 2025Hello lovely readers, Here’s our regular update on what’s coming into the PS Shop over the next few months. There are one or two new things, but mostly restocks and new colours in the existing, popular pieces. Feel free to ask any and a...

January 10th 2025When I travelled to Thailand last month, I had a slightly different packing challenge to usual: in London it was eight degrees (celsius) with cold drizzle; in Bangkok it was 30 degrees and balmy. Now I wouldn’t be outside in the UK that long ...

Simon’s sizing advice (winter)
November 22nd 2024Every six months, I forget what it’s like to run the pop-up shops. They’re only four days each (London and New York) but they’re so intense, just talking to people non-stop for eight hours, giving advice and fetching sizes. I don&r...

Hermes Sac a Depeches: How Great Things Age

Denim and tweed: My Scotland travel capsule

Introducing: The dark navy Donegal

I agree that Private White’s marketing for ‘Spycraft’ is misplaced. The internal paradox apparent in their spy range is that spies don’t wear uniform. The exception to this rule, are authoritarian states where no...
