—01. 100% wool.
—02. Made in Japan.

Words

While being thoroughly basic in the best possible way, this shirt jacket from Kaptain Sunshine makes the right subtle references. The slotted flap pocket recalls Filson's iconic Mackinaw Cruiser, which is an important allusion for this pared down version, considering the hardwearing history of the classic American style. Cut from water-repellent heavyweight wool, the fit is slightly boxy allowing for ample layering and with the enduring success of this timeless design, it’s every bit as relevant as it's always been.

These trousers from S.N.S. Herning perfectly combine the feel of sweatpants with the classic touches found on something altogether smarter. The Danish brand is widely known for their outstanding wool sweaters and instantly recognizable bobble pattern, but these pants rely on a more understated construction method. Made from warm merino wool that will keep its shape with wear and washing, the relaxed silhouette and clean styling offer a great alternative to more conventional trouser options.

Words

Earlier this year Margaret Howell designed a capsule collection to accompany the Barbara Hepworth retrospective at Tate Britain. As part of this process, an array of historical exhibition catalogues were discovered, and it's the covers of these which form the basis of the brand's latest calendar. In Margaret's words,"they are of their time, but still impress as pared down design that conveys the dynamism and power of the work it represents." The calendars are now for sale in-store and online, with profits to be donated to Open-City.

Ten C Arctic Down Parka

—01. Polyamide microfiber shell.
—02. 90% down, 10% feathers.

Words

It seems that whenever a new Ten C coat or jacket is released it climbs to the top of my favourite outerwear list almost immediately. That’s basically how I feel having seen this down jacket. The brand’s designs are always exceptional, anchored in understated styling and first-rate construction. Plus, the triangular stitching on the neck flap in this instance is incredible. They’ve made a few brighter colours in this style, but when it comes to wearability, you can’t go wrong with navy.
