Words

This long-running collaboration between Japanese brand Quilp and The Old Curiosity Shop in London, home of footwear designer Daita Kimura, has often intrigued me. There is something about the rounder silhouette that I find very attractive, not to mention the fact that with Tricker's in charge of manufacturing, the construction is destined to be first-rate.

—02. 100% Cotton.

Words

Nigo's tiger camo offerings this season, through his Human Made line, are terrific. This jacket features a dizzying array of pockets, which clearly explain the name, but also create an interesting puzzle as you try to figure out what you might use half of them for.

—01. Made in USA.

Words

Reminiscent of the classic Indy Boot, but with a tougher profile owing to the Vibram lug sole, the Rugged Work Boot from Alden is a great choice to ride out the remaining bad weather this winter. They're destined to be comfortable too, seeing as the Trubalance last is famed for its orthopaedic qualities.

Johnson Leathers have worked with Comme des Garçons Homme for a number of seasons, consistently creating great looking jackets. They remain tough to track down and they come at a premium price, but like this version, they're offered in great colours, excellent fabrics and the quilted lining is a nice feature.

—01. Wooden buttons.
—02. 100% Scottish lambswool.

Words

A hand-knit wool vest is a very versatile addition to one's closet for the cold and transitional months alike, and Inverallan are second to none when it comes to chunky, insulating knitwear. This vest is well suited for those times when just a shirt isn't warm enough, and a thick layer of wool next to the body is a considerable reassurance.
